Which is quieter? I won't be overclocking.
Thanks!
EDIT: According to this site, the ASUS GTX660 TI-DC2-2GD5 is the quietest!

Should I get the OC version? Or would it be louder?CA_Steve wrote:A suggestion: First figure out what level of GPU performance you need for your apps, then start looking for the quietest version. Otherwise, this is the tech version of Go Fish.
MSI's Power Edition version of the GTX 660 Ti uses Twin Frozr IV.

Re: AMD HD 6870 the quietest active video card for under $30
Neither game is GPU intensive. Here's a benchmark for Starcraft II - Tom's Hardware . At 1080p, you can easily use a GTX 650 Ti with maxed out quality and get decent framerates. For Xcom, Techspot didn't even bother to benchmark it. They just said , "While evaluating this game for one of our GPU/CP...

A suggestion: First figure out what level of GPU performance you need for your apps, then start looking for the quietest version. Otherwise, this is the tech version of Go Fish. I only want to play StarCraft 2 and XCOM: Enemy Unkown on the highest graphical settings. Still go for the 660 or is that...

It wasn't that the HD 6870 was the quietest card, it was the cooling solution used provided the quietest card. Current generation - I'd go with Asus Direct CU II or MSI Twin Frozr IV versions of the GTX 660 Ti for stock solutions. Thanks! So those 2 card you recommended are just as quiet or quieter...

AMD HD 6870 the quietest active video card for under $300?
According this SPCR article , it's the quietest in 2012. If this is still true, which brand would be the quietest? According to this article , HIS's IceQ models are the quietest and with the best performance, but everywhere I've been shopping online is out of stock (they might still be listed today,...

I have very little experience with building PCs, and I always like to research everything thoroughly before buying, so would anyone be able to quickly put together a list of components as reference point? Also, I agree that in most cases, only 1 case fan is actually the best: http://icrontic.com/art...

Suggestions for Intel Core i7 DAW with triple 24" monit
I'm going to build a new PC used primarily for music production, so silence is golden. In between breaks, I might play some Starcraft 2 though when it comes out lol. Anyway, someone over at studio-central.com recommended me the following (keep in mind that when it comes to computer savviness, I'm on...

Fanless video cards with 2 or 3 DVI/HDMI outputs?
Can you guys please recommend me fanless video cards with 2 or 3 DVI/HDMI outputs? And will these generally be so large that it will block the other PCI Express 2.0 slot? I've never had to buy video cards so I'm in the dark here.
