Kind of off-topic Anand, but would it be possible to get a noise comparison between the new Radeons and the GT? Or at least give us an unscientific "not much difference" or an "X is quieter than Y, but just a little" comment. ;) If the GT is particularly annoying for some reason, then I'd rather go with the 3870 as I am (trying to) build a quiet-ish system. As it is, there aren't too many noise comparisons out there. Thanks.
I'm sure I speak for everyone here when I say that the only reason I haven't pulled the trigger on buying a Lamborghini Reventon is because it hasn't gotten an Anandtech Editor's Choice award.
So Lamborghini, listen up!
((((perhaps that will help you get your review sample :P ))))
