GTX 480 and GTX 470 Reviews

It's not that bad according to this graph. I remeber the 280s to be quite bearable in terms of noise level...

What?

I have to doubt that graph, a GTX280's fan speed is in no way comparable to a 4870x2 and in without a doubt not louder than a reference 4870 even. The fan doesn't even spin up to half the speed of either card.

Aside from that did you notice the sometimes over 100% crossfire scaling in their review. I have never seen a 4870x2 perform as well as in that TPU review.

Let's all just hope the 480 doesn't RMA as much as the 280 did in the first few months.

A refresh will really help with heat and power.

That was due to a bad connection between the gpu and IHS causing a ton of heat. I had one.

according to anandtech the 480gtx resides close to the theoretical 280gtx, which is louder than 285gtx as we know. So the graph seems to be ok to me.
