Who's expecting delivery of a Fermi card tomorrow?

Is this series the first to use heatpipes on the stock cooler? No others spring to mind.

4870/90 stock cooler uses a heatpipe, others might do as well.

Ahh right wasn't aware of that, thanks.

not in stock anymore.............but im more than happy with my 4870 atm tbh. Dont see the need as to yet to upgrade to anything later. possibly a 5770 just to get the dx11

5870



5850



I'm sure there is more!

Everythings in stock now, so i might actually get my new pc on sat!!!

[jjgreenwood]

won't get on sat. I'll be fine as long as scan test it properly and it arrives well built.

Frustrating though

my pc has arrived, as it had the gtx 480 I got the nvidia 3d vision too. The game that comes with it avatar has the best graphics in 3d of any game I've ever played. The system runs crysis with everything on, but not at 120fps obviously. The 3d is playable in crysis though but it isn't the best game for it. Metro also runs fine in 3d with everything switched on. It isn't as noisy as I thought it would be but the cooling looks fairly hardcore inside the case. Scan seem to have done the job. I'll post pics if people want to see it.

[kalniel]

Of course we want pics!

Enjoy the system

Is that a nv fermi approved case?

Looks good!

no the raven is but this isn't, but its smaller and has similar cooling properties to the raven. I love the brushed aluminium look. Getting it in silver was a pure accident as they didn't have black in stock and I couldn't be bothered to wait. It does look smart in the bare metal though.

The only problem is if I decide to buy a second 480 then they will end up next to each other, but after advice from forum members I may not bother anyway.
