I just got to hear (or not hehe) the fan on the 8800GTX for the first time.
That puppy is QUIET! For the past few days I've had it in a noisy environment. Compared to the waring blender X1900XTX this thing is silent!
Even when a 3D app is fired up there is no roar like the other cards. That is impressive.
Does that fan EVER speed up? It makes a wooshing noise at POST but even that isn't objectionable. The ATI sounds like a BIG server fan when starting up and hits those speeds when stressed hard (GPU core at 100°C!)
