Marketing fluff claims that this card is a full 15db quieter than the reference design. I've owned sapphire cards with similar reference coolers and although they're not too loud you can hear them whirr up pretty good under load while gaming. Does anyone have this ASUS card yet or a card with very similar cooler who can report on what the noise levels are really like? I'm tempted to jump on this card but I wouldn't mind some user impressions. There aren't even any lame newegg reviews for it.
But I think in the long run I'll hold off until there are better deals and rebates. I'm interested in seeing other companies putting out their custom cooling designs in the coming weeks.
