| The big problem for Nvidia is that the first batch of 28nm parts isn’t a new design, it is a shrink of the GF11x parts currently on sale. There should be no logic changes to it this late in the game unless something is really screwed up, something we really doubt happened. That leaves the dreaded problem of indeterminate problems with a new process. |

Let it be another gtx 480 for all we care... With good coolers, even gtx 580s cooler performs great wrt gtx 480s heat pipes, it will be enough. As long as we have some great performance and overclocking from the cards, we are A OK.

Honestly I could give a **** how hot the card itself gets (as long as its healthy). It's the heat it pumps into my room that bothers me. So please, no more gtx480's.
