Thanks for the review HH.
Any reason why the MSI card was left out of the temp/noise graphs?
How would you compare the MSI and the Strix acoustics?

Great temps by the way

I know different reviews are not comparable but this guy got 80 degrees load on his card https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=7ISucUVIeik

This card looks amazing. I expected no less after my Strix Ti SLI setup. Best cards I have ever had. If I was going to jump this would be the card I would jump on.
Also Netherwind. The same was said about the Ti Strix that they were loud and produced a lot of heat. I have no clue what the reviewers were smoking. Mine are inaudible in my case and stay very cool.

Nice review as always. Now waiting for stock and will probably go for MSI or STRIX.

Not sure how he accomplished that but, I can only speak for my own results and back them.

MSI .. aaah .. I used another XML for the spreadsheets, forgot to insert MSI. Will fix that. MSI thus far offers the most silent product. But all cards are relatively silent really. So in the silent category, MSI is the most silent - hope that line made sense
