    Haha yeah i know what you mean they do get pretty toasty but not as bad as i imagined, im hitting 92 under full load with furmark but in games like Battlefield BC2 never went above 87 which isnt to bad, and there not as loud as i imagined either comparable to my old gtx 280.

    Re: Proud Owner!

    Yep, say what you want about the pricing/heat etc. etc. but you have a very fast card there - so time to install every game you can get your hands on and crank it up. I would suggest Crysis, so that you can actually play the game how is was meant to be (no pun intended. Oh ok, just a little).

    Wish I had the money though - then i could xfire my 5850 and spend the change on my car

    Ive tried the crysis demo and it seems to run very well im also able to play metro 2033 now with everything on and getting good fps.
    Very happy with this card its a big jump from my 280.
