My 470 is quieter than my old 260, and MUCH quieter than my old 8800GT. Subjectivity makes me a happy camper.

The problem is the tiny fan compared to the ones on the GTX 285/480/570/580/590.
One of my 6870's is a hell of a lot louder than the other. And it's the XFX one with one fan. I have to run it at 80% instead of 100% like my MSI Twin Frozr II because it's twice as loud, with one less fan.
You're a fool if you expect a standard GPU fan to not be louder than a specialized GPU cooler.Quote:

Okay, so my second GTX 470 came in (check the Heaven Benchmark thread for my updated results). I've got the the video together now as well:
