GIGABYTE 5870 SOC Super Overclock Edition GV-R587SO-1GD Vs. 4890 Review

[Lsdmeasap]

Great test, however, strongly disagree with the quality of the fan, it is relatively silent, even at high RPM, but, it is far from cold, in fact, this card runs alot hotter then regulair cards, yet still due the low-leakage GPU that Gigabyte uses, it still runs smoothly...

(Going from stock cooler to a simple watercooling solution made my max temp ~46C, with max voltage in software, was 80C+ with stock cooler)

Thanks!

I was just impressed with the low idle temps, even though the card is clocked down at those voltages I was surprised how cool it is.

To be fair though, this is the only 5xxx card I have used so my opinions are only based on this one.

Those are nice temps for water!!

Great review Lsdmeasap keep up the good work. I remember when you started :-)

Thanks man!

You're right. I've read the review more carefully for the second time, and I share your conclusion completely now

Thanks, but what had you unsure or concerned before? I don't mind of course as everyone has their own opinion, but I just wanted your original thoughts so I could keep them in mind for any future reviews.
