yup, i own a 7900 gs from evga and the fan gets pretty loud when u turn the comp on, but then it fades away pretty quickly. later when windows is running normally, u cant really hear it until u decide that u want to hear it, and then u can hear the sound, but for me its no problem coz i use headphones and i dont care about the sound of the fan anyways
but ya, the card is insane and is good for the price
thanks to newegg and evga for the 7900gs
