So here is overclock3d.net's newest article/review:

I just read it and checked out the charts, and I must say, that's pretty damn impressive! Obviously we've heard of people pushing their 560 Ti's to the 1GHz mark, but here is one that can likely do it fairly easily. I know I can't keep my TFII 560 Ti at 950MHz on the core for long because it is a bit unstable, unfortunately, this one comes at 950MHz, which sure, is the same as the Hawk, however the Sparkle Calibre does in fact have a higher memory clock than the Hawk, by a good ~400MHz!
It appears that the lack of cores on this card does not make it fall too far behind the 570 reference card, hell, in some tests, this card was even coming up close to an OC'd 570!

What I'm getting from their review and what they said about temperatures and what-not, is that this thing's cooler might just stand up there with the best, the MSI Twin Frozr II/IIIs and the Asus DCUII. For it to keep the card at 75 degrees Celsius as a MAX temp, during all of their tests, is not too bad at all, with that 1GHz OC, even if they did have the fan at 90%, as we saw on the first page, however in regards to the fans, I would like to know how loud they are.
Have a discussion! Could this card be a new top-recommended one here at the computer forums of mmo-champion? We shall seeee.
