This one seems to be a monster

Still, interesting to see the benchmarks at Anands where they turned of AA. Then the difference in perfomance is not that big (but still a good deal). Who needs AA when you run your game in 2560x1600 resolution? At least on my 19" 1600x1200 looks good without AA, which many top of the line cards do easy today.
Did they say something about noise? I'm very impressed with my Gainward 7900gtx, it is very silent indeed. I couldn't stand a hairdryer, even with exceptional graphics performance. On that note, it is interesting that XFX do sell 7950 cards with a heatpipe. Dead silent and good performance for most people. I was going for that until I got a good price on the 7900gtx.

Cheers Porphy
