Just bought myself ASUS EAH 6870 yesterday.

Now only OC until 970/1125 with core voltage bump to 1.235v, and it run very hot in furmark test, max out 99'C.  

I think they very confident with the chip heat withstand capability, because even at that temp the fan only spin no more than 50%.

Anyway i found the fps in F1 2010 is worst than using 4850...i guess this is the effect of DX 9 --> DX 11? Not really happy with that.

How much for the cooler?

Ya, reference cooler, but better than reference cooler becos the casing is aluminium.

But seems like this card game support still very weak, F1 2010 and NFS Hot pursuit can't full load my GPU, F1 2010 80+% GPU + 70% CPU, while NFS only <60% GPU and 70% CPU...NFS shuttering quite serious, i really no idea about that, previous 4850 run very smooth.

Anyway my rig is as below.

OS: Win 7
Intel QX6700 3.3Ghz
Giga EP35-DS3.
Value RAM DDR2 800 2GB.
ASUS EAH 6870 with CCC 10.12.

Is it my mainboard or proc limit my GC performance? but i don think so, becos my QX6700 should be more than enough. RAM not enuf? but everytime i enter game i will shut all others program and at least 1.5GB is available. Hope you all can give me suggestion.
