In before TH bashing
Anyway, they did a nice breakdown of the Mid range GPU market measuring performance, temperature and noise.
I'll only post the benchmarks under load for both noise and temperature and stick with a performance index for rating performance.
Intel Core i5 2500K @ 4.5 GHz Prolimatech SuperMega + Noiseblocker Multiframe PWM Asus P67 Sabertooth Rev. B3 8 GB Kingston HyperX 1600 "Genesis" 256 GB Samsung MZ5PA256HMDR-01000 Cougar GX 1050, 80 PLUS Gold
