what are the odds 480 will not turn out inefficient, noisy and overhyped?

480 tdp is 150. No way it will reach 290 levels of noise.
>another 480 thread
fuck off
Can't you brandfaggots keep that graphic card shit contained to one or two threads? Most people don't care. Create a /gfxg/ or something for fuck's sake.
Why do reference cards always come with just one cooler?

this

the cooler seems bigger than necessary

i think what you are referring to cooler is actually fan
the cooling solution itself though is called blower type cooling solution which is meant to blow the air directly out of the chassis through the pci shades instead of blowing it throughout your chassis which decreases the chance of overheating your whole system.
it's just that the r9 200 series came with a really cheap on which went far too loud.
it is acceptable though if you reapply better thermal compound in my experience atleast on the r9 290

Yes, fan. They should up their game and invest more into cooling solution.
>Reference cooler is loud and shitty
>Two of them together are even louder
Whoa! If there were still presses these days, I would definitely be stopping them right now.

I'm gonna give it 50/50 odds.
It either will or it won't.

normal conversation is 40db,
80db is an average factory... so this is bullshit from the get go.
The 290 is still a relevant card while the 970 cuck king edition is already offloaded by nvidia fanboys who bought it and have buyers remorse after learning it's a 3,5 meme.
A reference-cooled 290 with nice OC is almost 980 level.
AMD is a decent manufacturer.
