Marcus Yam served as Tom's Hardware News Director during 2008-2014. He entered tech media in the late 90s and fondly remembers the days when an overclocked Celeron 300A and Voodoo2 SLI comprised a gaming rig with the ultimate street cred.

    Obviously I haven't heard the card but don't small fans tend to be ridiculously loud?

    i would rather have 2 or 3 large fans that pushed a lot of air flow at acceptable noise levels than 5 small and loud as a hair dryer fans...

    Soooo they're blow in the wrong direction, considering how door intakes are normally used?

    Well, don't u have some 120mm fans that are crazy loud?

    And some supper quiet?

    I don't think Gigabyte would go and embarrassed itself by making the card louder

    than is the average for this kind of GPU.

    yeah, no price is announce.
    Maybe 20% more expensive for only 8.5% more performance.

    You pay for having more fans. I don't care about the fans, what I'm interested is performance.
