I can only speak from my experience at the moment, running a Gigabyte 4870, Cat 8.7 beta. IL2, even in busy conditions, doesn't drive it hard enough to fully kick in the fan, a world of difference from the 1950 I was previously using. Nor has it reached temps mentioned in reviews, seems to idle at 48c max out around 65c, this particular card has a cooler similar to a Vf-900 that probably accounts for the discrepancy.
I have to admit that I could've nabbed a 280 but the expense seemed wasteful with Display Port deemed iminent.
