Noise levels

EVGA 8800 GTS 640MB KO ACS3

- Whisper quite

- Runs at 85c when gaming

 

Gigabyte HD 7870 OC Windforce 3x 2GB

- Insanely loud

- Has vibrating shroud which is HIGHLY irritating and loud

- Runs loud even when idle

- Can't remember temps as the card is now RIP

 

Why is it that a card from 2007 is whisper quiet whereas a card from 2012 sounds like a jet engine?

1. Tech in air cooling hasn't improved over this decade, just because a card's much younger doesnt mean much about its cooling power.

 

2. Every product has faulty units

 

3. Thermal paste still dry up, from day 1 they are used to today.
