Pros: Super Quiet, Nice performence

Cons: Makes a whining noise at full load, poor cooling

This GFX card is OK if your not doing super high end gaming, assassins creed revelations on max settings works flawless for me and BF3 was decent on ultra , GTA IV was unplayable with Super high quality textures i got a max 20 fps.

During the summer it heats up to ( summer for me doesn't get hotter than 30c) 50c on idle, low 80's during gaming.

I used to own a 2 GB 6950 power color (dual bios) and it was 27c idle.. amazing but this gfx is just bad at cooling for some reason. Also when its on full load it makes a very annoying and loud whining noise!!

I have the 2gb version and it works very well but is LOUD. I mean its honestly as loud as my a/c. Still happy with it though

thier louder due to it not being reference cooling, i have a 6850 from them with a reference PCB and cooler, fan is dead quiet till it hits 85% fan speed

mine is really really quiet thought , i have double dissipation though thats why i guess, at 100 % its still not louder than my kamikaze 3k

I had the loud whining problem, but it turns out it was because id accidentally left the transparent sticker on, and it was that flapping about. Just a heads up ;P
