Yes, but OTOH... if they fitted a fan this huge in the first place, this 
suggests it's going to need it. ;-)

I mean, Jesus, the card is 2 bays wide just so it can accomodate enough 
heatsinks and fans. It has a TDP of 182W!! o_O

Really? Interesting. The fan on my existing card (nVidia GeForce 7900GT) 
spins at constant speed.

(As does the CPU fan. But that probably just means you need a special 
driver to throttle it...)
