After I've been thinking long for what 970 I decide I decided to my delight for this model. Of course, few models give a lot in performance, these are a few more or less Pünkschen. My focus was on Geräuchkulisse and tweeting etc. One was told 3 of my friends use this card also and none of the models has an audible Spulenfiepen. One probably a short whirring when the ear has 5cm besides the graphics card with open housing, but that really only sporadically. I have tried them in many games such as Far Cry 4, Shadow of Mordor, CS Go, COD with max. Settings 1080p. Everything is going well, smoothly and without hesitation. In CS GO not even the fan goes to ... In general, I would say chargeless players that will never hear the fan. You can set the fan fixed to 60% and really hear anything in mind. The card remains depending on the application between 40-50 ° Well enough to tests gibts to satisfy the net. The card is top, only alternative G1 Gaming Gigabyte in this price range. Keep it up!
