    I cant believe not one large reviewer can get their hands on this card. I think Nvidia is hidding something.

    I'm all for self congratulation - I've been calling the pre-order people nuts for not knowing what they were buying. Now a lot are cancelling their pre-orders.

    People just put a lot of faith in Nvidia because they've always come through, but not this time. The card is not only loud but insanely big. As much as I want a turbine jet engine in my computer, common. My computer is loud enough I don't need more noise. Also, I'm picky when it comes to changes in sounds from inside my computer. This whole speeding up the fan when playing games would piss me off. I would eventually bust out the sledge hammer and be forced to use it....

    Yeah, I don't think I would get the FX even if I DID have the cash....I listened to the noise it makes on tomshardware, and jesus christ they weren't lying when they said it sounded like a vaccum cleaner
