Meh. The question is, why do people still buy the 4xx cards over the 5xxx cards for a little more performance gain and higher heat,power usage,etc?

 

[AMAN1996]

Because their phycho as i think..and they dont know the reallyti..

 

[Petey1013]

People buy them cause they're not really that much hotter, they perform better, do dx11 and AA better, and anyone willing to spend 350+ on a video card probably doesn't have a crappy power supply?

If you are concern about the 4xx card heating issues, some NVIDIA manufacturer has release their customized version which fixes that issue.
Petey1013 is right, if you going to spend $350+ then you better have a good PSU.

I like to think it's cause people hate the environment and that
Captain Planet will one day come along and set them all straight.
