Noise level of 7900gtx?

[Artuk]

I have read a lot of reviews today but none have had any info about the relative noise level of the 7900gtx vs x1900xt.. anyone come across anything one way or the other on the web?

My x1900xt isnt terrible, but I am looking at a water cooling aternative to keep it quiet..

Expect it to be the same, if not slightly less, than the 512MB GTX. It's the same cooler.

Thanks.. Since posting this I read a review on firing squad to that effect.. and that it was very quiet. However, part of the air is vented in the case which is not something i am fond of. Oh well, a little late for me now to be worried about it.

The reviews mention 44db (roughly) which sounds reasonable to me.

The way the the fins are shaped and the direction the fans spin I am guessin more is dumped out of the case then in.
