My trusty GF 5900 finally retires after 4+ years of service when I receive my Gainward GF 8500GT in the next few days and I was looking for a way of sending the old girl off in style...
However I was struggling to find something that really set my 5900 apart until I read about people complaining about how hot the new 2900xt gets.
That's when it hit me, the one thing that my card does better than any other is get HOT!
For those of you bothered by the heat of the new 2900xt you might want to consider that my geforce 5900 (stock: 400mhz core, 425mhz ram) IDLES at 79C and 30secs of artifact scanning in ATItool gets the temp up to a toasty 106C! 8O
It's like getting a free imersion heater with your graphics card
My trusty GF 5900 stands ready to fry an egg quicker than your stove!
Do you think your card is better?
Post your temps and let the sizzling commence, mmm bacon...
GF 5900 Idle: 79C, Load: 106C... Beat That!
