you can probaly cut about 10 c from that by cleaning the card .... dont think fermi is for chennai climate ... well if really want to get it then make sure you got a real good AC .... my HD5850 goes max of 85c with chennai climate :D 78c if i use my AC ...

I was hopeful of the same too but Ati has hinted that it dosent need to reduce prices and it might not be doing so.

Infact there has been a small rise in prices for certain cards after the 470/480 revies came out.

Lets just hope that the price does fall :)

kind regards

@ kolguy - WHat fan profiles are you using while gaming?

I'm in Delhi, and to stress the GPU I play Anno 1404(it gives 5C more temperature than CRYSIS)..

With 60% fan settings, I get a temperature of 75C.

Now, I have a Cooler(not AC) which I turn on at lowest fan settings and direct it towards my cabinet from say 1.5 metres distance.

New temperature:-

Fan settings - 55%
Load Temp - 65C

Yes, I'm on 65C load with outside temp 39C and ambient as high as 35C!!!!!

using the default profile for fan and i think the fan goes for a max of 40% with that ... i use the AC to maintain a ambient temp of 24c in the room ... the temps around the cabinet are around 26c (i got this nice thermometer to measure temp :tongue:) and most of the measurements were done when running furmark i have not seen 80's yet while gaming.

I just run my cards on 85% fan, when gaming. Yea they sound like hair dryers, but I am wearing head phones. Keeps the babies cool.

^^^

Not really that bad, my speakers are usually at full blast, and that's the only part my family complains about :p

BTW, I'm able to keep the temps under 60C with 50% fan, even in this Delhi Heat!!!

Fermi limited availability until May+

Fudzilla

some indian online sites shows that it is available for 22k & 28k.... :rofl:

Shockingly, it is available in small quantities for close to those two amounts...

Oooh, and the 480 is pretty fast - a good increment on the 5870; anandtech loves AMD (evidently)

i've the same card, and it runs pretty cool. Even while I play crysis at full HD + max settings. Or are you referring to a specific game ?
