What, do you have the card next to your ear?

Noise isnt a problem unless you're sitting idle or watching a movie.


That said, heatsinks for GPU's suck.

100% percent fan noise from just about any blower type fan is awful. It's a high pitched noise that doesn't sound like the somewhat tolerable noise of just a regular case fan or the noise from your air conditioner or heater.

Its distracting and it can be heard from rooms away. So being a few feet away is just a headache waiting to happen.

Heres a video for a 7970 at 100% fan speed. They record it from probably a few feet away than probably 6 or 7 feet away. If your saying that wouldn't be an issue unless your watching a movie or just listening to it idle, your dead wrong.
