This is for all the lucky owners of the above cards.

Hopefully we can keep the "should have got a 5870" or "what a waste of money LOL" comments to a minimum.

Owners of these new nvidia cards should post as much detail and information as possible about their setups.

All pictures are gratefully received, boxes, un-packaging, system setups.

Here are links to four commonly used test programs.

If you havent got anything constructive to say about the new 400 series cards, INCLUDING benchmarking results, say nothing at all.

I for one are looking forward to the benchmark results in systems similar to my own
 
Yeah, i've just a trubritar video of them running in tri sli.

None of them are watercooled and the temps are in the low 70's for the whole of the vantage run. Much lower than my 280's which get up to 88c.

The more i see of the card, the more i'm impressed, and the more i wonder why fan boys love putting it down.

If you prefer one card to the other, buy it, don't hate on the other, it just another card.
 
Facts from Trub's 480 SLI bench.

1.the three cards were running with 100% fan speed.
2.cards were in an case with no side panel on.
3.the bench lasted 7 minutes with a pause between tests.
4.one of the cards was running at 80c+ at the end of the GFX tests, the other two high 70's

Anyone going TRI SLI will almost certainly be watercooling the cards so temps will not be a problem then.
