Hey guys,
Im looking to get a gfx card in time the weekend.
I had my mind set on a 7900GT but these are too hard to find in stock at decent prices. So I thought about considering an x1800XT 512MB, which can be had for pretty much the same price at OCUK and I think will be of similar performance.
I have 3 issues:
1) The noise- is it REALLY bad? Im not too bothered about when its maxed out but more bothered about its idle sound in windows (i.e. browsing etc)
2) The heat- Will it raise my case temps considerably? Im overclocking an 146 to 2.8 and the case temp gets kinda toasty already.
3)Power- I have an akasa 400W atx2 psu, will this be enough to power the card?
Quick respones appreciated as i'm wanting to order today!
Cheers
