Nvidia 285 NOISE?

RTech · 15th January 2009, 12:38 PM

Anyone got any good Nvidia 285 bench marks yet or any good reviews?

Can't wait!!!

Only question i'd like to know would be the noise factor.

It is 10% more powerful then a 280, yet use's 20% less power.

So less power can equal to less noise?

Just want a decent high end card with minimum noise.

Less power = Less heat = Lower cooling demand/requirements.

Also, that doesn't equal less noise. Noise is dependant on the fan size, RPM and blade design, as well as intake or exhaust grill/flow design.

Generally, larger fan @ slower RPM = quieter.

I got my GTX285 a couple of days ago, can confirm it is quiet, cant hear it above the low hum of my case fans although ive never had a GTX280 to compare it too.

Can post some benchmarks later tonight when i finish work.
