Well, cant you just ask yourself why gtx470 and gtx 465 need 2 funs ?
because they're such beasty cards obviously
ahem COUGHS : overheating
yea right! mine got 65c on gaming!!! how about yours!!
omggg 15 moree!!! btw... can u see any servers on moha? i could the first time i launched the game but not now!
Since when has heat been an issue with GPU's?
This thread fails.
Fermi is not the first line of cards to bring an increase in heat / power consumption, and not the first to have revised GPU's with their tackle cut off like the gf104/106 over the gf100.
This heat is bad / power consumption is bad trend saddens me.
This "insert DX11 card here" card is running way hotter than my Voodoo card it must suck logic sickens me.
The 465 is the technically superior card, its in black and white here:
GeForce GTX 465 main features:

PS my 480 has never got over 50c the logic here, it fails.
Your 480 doesn't count though because you're using a full custom water loop which doesn't represent normal cooling for most users. It is nice to see that other users also care about heat and power efficiency though
