I can't wait till the 7990 that is going to be impressive but expensive
I might have missed this but what is the heat like hashing overclocked ? and what fan speed
Overclocked @ 1125/975MHz with automatic fan speed I'm getting temperatures hovering 81-83C, and the fan runs at 47-49% speed. You can see some screencaps on one of the earlier pages. But since I prefer lower temperatures and am worried about VRM and memory temps not yet being reported by GPU-Z, I usually run it at 60% fan speed and get temps around 72C. The blower fan at 60% speed is quite loud (its a reference design from Sapphire).
At 100% fan speed, the overclocked card gets below 60C while mining but you can
hear it from outside of the house at this point , so as lovely as these temps are this is not an option for me as it is also my gaming and work PC.
Yeah, so they still have not fixed that damn reference fan design. Aftermarket coolers FTW !
Damn ATI and their crap loud fan designs
Could be worse, I have a GTX460 that makes me want to tear my hair out
