i IGNORED your claim just as you ignotre mine ... fair is fair
Your claim was ignored because it's subjective, vague, and easily debunked by hard numbers.
I don't give a crap what xbit or any other reviewer got
I see, so you will continue to bury you head in the sand then?
i am not going to be chained to what another reviewer claimed his ears heard or did not hear as you are obviously are
The readings were taking with digital sound meters, not with ears. That's why they're a tad more accurate than your "it is quiet" claims.
you will hear my rig at idle ... with NO hd2900xt fan running ... that will NOY damage it for a couple of seconds ... then you will hear it get hot and come up to full throttle [at which point i WON'T stop my card because you already heard my case without the HD2900xt's noise at all
Again how will any of this disprove my claim of the G80 being quieter?
Furthermore how are you going to account for normalization? If I play your sound clip at level '1' on my speakers it might have a totally different volume level to someone else who plays it at '1' on their speakers.
Like I said before, you need to give these sound "tests" a rest. It's clear your methods are woefully inadequate.
