Nice review there Tom, looking forward to seeing the video to get a good idea of the fan sound.
I may upgrade to one of these and sell my 5850, the Twin Frozr II cooler is just a tad too loud when above 65% speed for my liking... excellent cooling though.
Plus I keep meaning to try a new nVidia card.

Tbo Gigabyte’s SOC series are amazing if they just get the price right, then 10 out of 10 in everything
Look in the review £229.99 @ Aria

Realy like this card, it does suprisingly well in the benchmarks. Havent seen a Blue PCB like that since my HD 4870
I am pretty sure it is good otherwise Tom(OC3D) wouldn't have gone with them....
Grrrr @ youtube I wanna see the video. I was considering getting this for my rig but it seems to be pre order everywhere so I got the msi gtx 560 which I really like the look of from aria for £195 seems to have gone up £10 now though
.
Once again nice review but I wanna see the vid!! I prefer video reviews if didn't notice.

It's been a concern to me, probably since the HD69xx reviews, that OC3D's performance graphs don't make the sense that I'd personally expect with comparisons of cards vS card vS oc'd cards.
Either that or cards since I've been seeing the variations are self governing themselves via their respective bioses ? I can't imagine that to be the case.
I wonder if you guys could either internally review the reviews or have some kind of 1-off face-off between those cards typical in todays review comparison.
In simple terms, you bench a card at stock, then bench it overclocked, it's hard to imagine how on earth it could bench with a lesser performance. (just for example) For sure, if you overclock a card and something within the OS kicks in (like windows just loves to do) it can certainly hamper performance. I've noticed particularly with failed overclocks, Windows 7 runs a program called something like "ApSafetyBlahBlah.exe" that you have to check is not running before you bench again cos it does take up cycles. I think it's Windows trying to help the user not have the same problem again that might've caused the system failure.
Just a suggestion, not having a poke.
Tis a decent card btw, used to love Gigabyte's productions. But instinct would dictate buying the standard card and overclocking it - as mentioned above, it's a hard thing to suggest looking at some results.

Are you going to review MSI 560 twin frozer or are you waiting for the 560 HAWK with the twin frozer 3?If not then how do YOU compare the SOC and 560 twin frozer 2?
Cheers.
Cheers.
I've had no problems what so ever with them, bought many things off them and every time i've had great service.
Nice review Tom.
Aria's service was fantastic when I bought all my stuff from them (except for the case).
