My 6970 was so loud with its single, tiny fan, I never bought another AMD card.

One fan and 250W TDP is crazy. Even 170W GTX760 with same reference cooling was a hot loud mess. But here we are talking less power dissipation than 2007 GeForce 8800. Those even came in single slot thin fan configurations, with afaik not a single manufacturer going for more than two slot one fan.
