KFA2 GTX 480 LTD OC Edition or a Geforce 580?
I know the 580's a faster card but it's more expensive and doesn't run as cool as the former. I'm also aware that the 580 is using new vapour-chamber tech etc. which makes it run cooler than previous Nvidia cards but I've got an issue with heat. Believe me, my case is cool (in both uses of the term) and tidy but I've always had a problem with graphics card temps and now there's a card (the 480 above) which has brought the temperatures right down to nowhere near boiling point, without the use of water cooling.
That said, because of the use of the fans on the 480, the air that is blown away from the card would circulate the inside of the case... then again my case should dispel it. Am I ranting?
What should I do?
Please help!
