There've been a few reports on this thread of people getting different fan rpms at the same percentage of fan load. Mine is 2040rpm at 44%. This is too loud really for idle as I can definitely still hear it over my case fans. Currently running 35% fan and 1500rpm for idle.

2000+ rpm is way too loud for idle.

I don't think anyone had any idea why the same card from the same brand were having such different speeds for their fans.

I expected to see some slight variances in voltages but not as much as I am seeing here and I never expected the fan speeds would be different. :(
 
Bought mine when they were £195 but only just got around to installing it.

According to GPU-Z the card idles at 0.953 and maxes to 0.985 under load. Afterburner reports a constant 1v.

Currently running 800/1600/1952 on stock volts but not really had much time to properly test it yet.

Same here, noise doesn't seem to bad either compared to my last one, which ran at a lower stock rpm.
 
Managed to clock mine to 860mhz on stock volts. 85 c max on bad company 2 with auto fan. My old 6950 would hit 86c on bad company 2 with auto fan

850 @ 1138mv hits 85c at 100 gpu load after a few hours of BFBC2 at 62%ish fan.

I have set my afterburner profile to do that as its a nice balance.

Zalman VF3000F going on it tonight though.

I'm getting massive artifacting and crashes in bfbc2 at stock speeds
cant play for more than 5 minutes, I have even done a fresh install of windows 7
to try and sort it, the thing is it seems fine for everything else, and my mates gtx480 works perfectly in my system :(

I have asked for a rma/replacement

Notice much difference in performance from your 6950?

I dont notice much difference in proformance but depends on the game. But with my core clock at 860mhz my system pulls 420 watts on bad company 2 and around 355 on mw2. The gtx 480 does seem to overlcock better tho
 
I notice the MSI version is showing as £179.99 in B-grade with 10+ in stock. It says it includes Mafia 2.
