Hi, i have an AMD 7970 GPU but Im looking to buy a GPU that is better than my current one but silent. Does any one have any suggestions as to what graphics card to buy?
Thanx
 
Solution
AMD R9 290, R9 290x.

Nvidia GTX 780, or GTX 780 ti

*I've got a GTX 780, and it isn't loud at all.

**I'm not sure it's worth upgrading just yet. Wait and see what Nvidias 800 line of GPU looks like.

***Remember not to over do the monitoring programs. If you're getting bad frame timing then reduce the number of programs monitoring fps/temps/ things like that.

If you're hellbent on getting a new GPU right now, then go with a 780 ti, or even 2 780's. I can tell you that a single 780 is a lot of GPU @ 1080p.

What monitor do you have?


ASUS DirectCU II ($709 Newegg)

EVGA is a great brand too, though a little more costly.


***When you say money isn't a problem, that leaves open a lot of room for interpretation. You should really post you're intended budget, even if it's I don't mind spending up to $6,000 =D. I mean, the Titian Z is coming out at $3,000... Maybe not worth it, but still.

****If you want a more silent rig, and better control over your GPU fans, then you want a proper water cooling set up. I mean, any GPU is going to be loud as hell if you kick the stock fans up to 100% or something.
