Good question...what about noise level?

 

[old gamer]

im sure in one of these threads gibbo said the sample one they tried was pretty good on noise levels but cant find it now

It is NV cooler, it is extremely quiet, same blower fan as on 980, so excellent.

If it performs anything like the Titan coolers, it will be quiet.

I tempted on a pair, its more expensive than a lot of other 970's but could be worth it, if not for looks but better build quality and blower types are imo the way to go for dual cards on air

With the added bonus of the Titan styled cooler looking the part too.

It sound good!

Looking forward to it... shame that we are talking of the 7th November which is in two weeks...

as gibbo said the Nvidia titan cooler is super quiet.

Looks like the BIOS signing is now a moot point (meaning we can flash modified BIOSes with higher power limits), but it would be nice to know what the default max power limit is set to (110%, 125%, or something else).

Flashing or changing bios voids warranty.
Power limit has being requested at 125%

Flashing or changing bios voids warranty.

As expected, and in line with other GPU manufacturers. Nobody wants the price driven up by people pushing something way beyond spec and demanding replacements for the card they broke.

Gibbo do you know how many batches there will be?

 

[Trustdesa]

I'm waiting to see feedback... I really don't like 970... too many issues so let's see how this performs

 

[mattcrane]

Silly question but does anyone know what the exact length is of these cards as I really want to order one but am limited to 11inches with my case, (Antec 300), and according to the wife I have spent too much on my PC lately so no chance of a new case.........yet

It will be the same length as a Titan, reference 780, 780Ti or 980. IIRC they are either 10.5 or 11 inches in length.

 

[mattcrane]

Cool thank you.

Hope its 10.5" or I will be screwed as I really cant afford or want a new case right now.

 

[Trustdesa]

Gibo are these cards still due on the 7th?

RMA / Warranty...how does it work in this case?

 

[l3g3nd]

So are these still due in tomorrow? How much stock is there going to be Gibbo?

 

[Wizzfizz]

Nope -

Hi there

Just had an update, our cards never got on the flight at the weekend unfortunately due to no planes available or miss booking.

They are now re-booked to be on the plane this Saturday and hopefully with us Monday/Tuesday next week, sorry for the delay guys.

 

[l3g3nd]

Nope -

Thanks WizzFizz.
