Hi eveyone,
I'll be buying a new GPU in the next few months and I was wondering what I should get. Now, I've already set my eyes on the new GTX 680 but I don't know who to buy it from.
I currently have a MSI R6970 Lightninig in a Corsair 500R case with two Noctua 140mm fans in exhaust on the side panel. When playing Crysis 2 at an ambient temp of 60-65F the fans in my GPU crank up to 80-85%. It's ridiculously loud. I can't really stand it. It feels like my card is about to explode. As for temps, I'm looking at 80-82C. I think that's very hot considering how MSI claims that the cooling system in this card is superb.
But that's not really the point. What I want to know is what is the difference between a heat sink design used in the MSI Twin Frozr GPU's vs the one used in EVGA GPU's
If the difference is big, shoudl I go for an EVGA GPU? Or should I wait until ASUS releases their DirectCU II GTX 680?
Thanks for the help!
