I was hearing a review on a 470. "Don't handle the back of it..."IT WILL BURN YOU"..lol. I guess they all get warm.

amd have done a 5000 serie, cool and powerfull.
5870 is a nice video card

I noticed that the thread was an attempt to contain unanswerable questions...

Evga 470 running RoF demo everything maxed out 1680x1050 online for 90 min: Fan speed 39% temp 59 degrees, core usage 57%. Idle temp with 30% fan (silant) 33 degrees.


Dont belive everything u read on the net, "rewievers" getting thoose insane temps and wattages would proppably do better as a busboy.

It's a 480 but you're right things seem ok but I'd still rather get the other even if I had the money.

Over the years I have found Tom's charts fairly useful:

Getting a GTX580 from my EVGA GTX480 step up program...can't wait.
Cooler, faster and quiet. The 480 is a good 6c cooler than in the reviews (25c in here) and the "noise" problem is greatly exagerated. The 580 is what the 480 should have been.

AMD has had HAVOK for some time now.. This is another code for simulated physics. Though AMD has not really done much with it, they are now looking at doing physics in Open-CL.. Though I wouldn't go jumping up and down for it, it remains to see if AMD will make a difference this time around or if this will fall flat too. AMD wants an open source physics code for any one to be able to develope on..

Well my GTX 580 will be here next week. I think that should handle the game well. I know my 480 is handling anything I have thrown at it while also running the Folding@Home GPU3 client.

Hi,

As of now do we have a clearer idea about approx when the game will be available ?
