now as far as temperatures go this was about as high as I saw them all day 85 degrees Celsius and the fans spinning at 61% for all the complaints of pre-production samples being mini space heaters the actual retail products aren't all that bad all right so here's something I discovered a few seconds ago for people who actually purchase the card is for your own safety I would not suggest grabbing this card after it has been on for a while it will burn you I as I discovered just a word of friendly advice all right so let's wrap it up now obviously this isn't a complete review or even a series benchmarking session the cards were run through some games 3dmark etc and without a doubt the GTX 480 does perform better than the 5870 however it also carries a higher price tag one thing I do want to mention though is there's been sort of a lot of bickering around the web about the heat and temperatures that this thing produces well to be honest it seems like a non-issue for these upgraded retail cards the temperatures of 85 degrees Celsius really aren't all that out of the ordinary but both ETI and invidious previous generation cards pushed that and the current 59 70 does as well at the end of the day I think the noise and heat complaints are complete non issues and ultimately pay more but you get more feel free to disagree that's just how I see it
