wtf HOW IS IT SO SMALL! they can't defeat physics. the heatsinks are small. the fan MUST be noisy. unless these chips are low voltage sobs.

i dunno man people have been over-blowing the difference between AMD heat output and Nvidia heat output for a long time now. from my experience 6970's put out more heat then a GTX 570 or 580 and run about 10 degrees hotter compared to the 570's and 580's as well. So im not surprised. also it is virtually impossible for the fan on the 590 to be louder then the 6990... it's larger and uses a much more efficient design and will move more air effectively.

people kept going on about how it was impossible for Nvidia to pull it off.... now look full dual 512 shadder parts on the market tomorrow and it's smaller and probably quieter then the 6990 to boot....

what it will come down to will be the OC potential or this card. it it can get to 730ish MHZ it will beat the 6990 by a good margin provided your not running 3x30 inch monitors....

I don't even... how? The only review I've seen that somehow agrees that their hotter is hardwarecanucks... yeah.

I have used all cards possible, 6000 series def runs hotter and louder than the 500 series, the fan is also more annoying, sounds sharper and peircing, while nvidia's fan is more of a hum and sounds softer, this is comparing the reference cards.

thats the reason I tend to trust HWC over other sites... their results most often line-up to my personal experiences. how did I come to this conclusion? I had two systems. one with a pair of unlocked 6950's in CFX the other with a Pair of GTX 570's in SLI. they were both in the same room running at the same time running the Heaven bench at the same settings on Auto fan speed. the GTX 570's averaged around 80-85 and the 6950's (6970's) averaged around 90-95.... all on Auto fan speed like I said and in cases with similar airflow. the AMD cards were also louder at auto fan speed while being hotter.... Testing GTX 580's using the same bench and type of setup I have seen most temps stay around 83-88...

Well Anandtech (or TechReport) is not the bastion of neutrality but they're better than HWC's obvious slant toward Nvidia, with each nv card usually getting a roundup of different brands. The only thing you can really get from that is Nv have better stock coolers

Cause it's easier to get all of NVIDIA's partners to send us cards while AMD partners usually drag their feet a bit before sending. So it's very hard to coordinate a AMD GPU roundup.

Hopefully that will change soon.
