Received mine from Tiger Direct today, installed and running smoothly. It is a runs a tad warmer than the GTX285 it replaced but I cant tell that it is any louder, so all is good.
Was running BF3 with these settings recommended by Nvidia for the GTX480:
Texture Quality Ultra
Antialiasing Deferred 4x MSAA
Ambient Occlusion HBAO
Terrain Quality Ultra
Mesh Quality Ultra
Shadow Quality Ultra
Effects Quality Ultra
Motion Blur On
Terrain Decoration Ultra
Antialiasing Post High
Anisotropic Filter 16x
It looked amazing and I never saw my frame rate go below 37 using the in game render.drawfps 1 command. Ill dial down a few settings to maximize my frames for getting serious in multiplayer though. I was just running around and dying a lot from gazing at all the new found eye candy tonight.
You were right Termie, the DX11 definitely adds to the visual experience. Thanks for talking me into it.
