-idle: Fan the map always rotate in idle mode to 35% (1500U), the card is thus easy to fortuitous. Temp: 28Grad
-Vollast: With MSI combustor in 3D11 (HD, 8x antialiasing), turn the fan on at 60%, the card will be quite noisy. Temp: 60 degrees.
-In The standard game mode, the temperature at about 42Grad and the fans are virtually silent. (Tested with watchdogs on Ultra)
Spulenfiepen:
Now to the infamous Spulenfiepen, even with the Gigabyte version There is quiet to hear in certain situations! Bring only with specific benchmarks over 1000fps per second and rarely with loading screens from games. In Game and office use now I could hear no Fiepgeräusche up.
I have long considered and tested between the GTX 960 and GTX 970 (both Gigabyte OC).
Who wants to save about 100, slightly less power and do not mind wants to have a very low card is better off with the GTX960. If you want to how I play all the new games on Ultra, invest a little more and then pleased with absolute top performance of the GTX970 at acceptable price / performance ratio.
ATTENTION: The GTX 970 is very long, please note!
