Power, temps and noise

Very similar power-draw figures from the four cards.

Here's one area where the custom-cooled Twin Frozr III does very well. The heatsink produces best-in-test idle and in-game temperatures.

The nascent thinking on high-end graphics cards centres on keeping them as quiet as possible - helped, of course, by low power-draw when compared to the previous generation of Radeons and GeForces. We can say that no card is loud. The MSI TF3 produces more of an onomatopoeic 'whooshing' sound, while the comparison KFA² has more of a 'hum.' Scientific, eh?
