Finally bit the bullet and bought......

Chose the £18 option because I want the thing yesterday .Hope City Link are having a good day and I can post some stats tomorrow night.
 
Its about time, I can put my 20" dell tft monitor to good use at 1600x1200 with all the eyecandy you can shake a sharp stick of memory at

:cool:
 
Hi,

If you could post a review of this card I would be very interested mate as I am thinking of getting one me self mainly due to it supposed to be less noisey than the standard ones.

Tommy whats this about a UV light does it have UV on the card then or something as i already have UVs?

I shall be getting one once they hit around £275.
 
Well I don't know why I was worried about delivery, the Citylink man just woke me up with the card, I'm writing this before I've even opened the box, scratch that, just opened the box. Pics to follow.


EDIT: Turbo edition goodness on the side of the box.
 
Installation.

Taken out my 6800gt and replaced the card. Could not be easier, was worried about the fit but shouldn't have, misses my hard drives by about a centimetre.

This first post is to say what I have noticed first before I bench mark. Ambient case temps have dropped by 2 degrees.

The loudest noise from my case in idle mode is my Antec amber 1200 mm exhaust fan. The lodest noise on start up when the vid card is supposed to be the loudest is my raptor. :cool:

More to follow.

EDIT: Ambient temps down by between 2 and 3 degrees PC probe 2 cant make its mind up.

Aye, for me the loudest part of my system now is my Tagan 580W PSU :eek:

I am really Peed Off! with Anandtech! I thought they were supposed to write accurate reviews??? I nearly didnt purchase this card because of their Bull crap about the noise levels! 2D - its barely audible at 32% fan speed! if you put your ear directly next to the card lol! :) now if you use ATI too & reduce it to 27% - its totally quiet. :rolleyes: 3D i.e playing games you woudnt notice any noise because of headphones or speakers & I doubt you would hear any noise anyway because the temps are much lower thus the fan doesnt pick up speed.
