Has anyone seen any hard data on the noise level of the 4870s?
Most of the reviews ignore the issue entirely, Anands implies that it is bad whenever the card is under load, whilst Hothardware states that it is only a problem at start-up, but almost inaudible after that...
I like everything else about it and would buy one now if I could be sure it was quiet...just can't deal with ruining the immersion factor in games by having a turbine in the room with me
