Power, Temperature and Noise
Power consumption and temperatures are in line with expectations, however noise levels most definitely are not. Palit's card is frustratingly loud at all times, and though the manufacturer has issued a new BIOS promising "better thermal performance," it is the fan profile that urgently needs attention. It is difficult to tell exactly how fast the fan is spinning - the card doesn't appear to report RPM to the usual utilities - but Palit could certainly take a less aggressive approach.
