By best I mean those with best cooling (preferrable venting out of the case) and less noise. I don't need coloured lights or a smart design due to a windowless case.

Many thanks!
 
Shame you missed the msi one they had going for £420 last week it's back £470 now I think.

I got the pailt 1080 and the cards seems pretty good to me, the 1070ti version is £409.Not sure how good it would be in your case should be fine as long as you got airflow these cards don't give off too much heat they only have 1 8 pin connector.

I don't know which one would be best out of the £450 cards there is a few there to chose from but then you are getting on for gtx 1080 prices.
 
running a G1 in a build for a friend , silent and runs 65c when running firestrike stress test 1080/1440p
overclocked nicely to 2gz odd, need to push more though

that MSI was on a kilelr deal for £412, picked mine up for £415 , wouldnt trust the site I got it from for RMA so will have to use Vendor directly if something goes wrong
 
I got the Palit 1070ti from elsewhere before OCuk had the offer on, but I'm really happy with the card, runs everything I play in max settings, doesn't break a sweat and my system is practically silent, I've not once heard the fans spin up (not sure if some of this is down to my case having sound damping).

I don't think you can go wrong with a 1070 Ti in terms of noise and cooling. You'll need a blower design to vent out of the case, but I don't think it would matter unless your case has very poor airflow. I don't have a blower design, so heat from my graphics card isn't directly vented out of the case, but my 1070 Ti has never reached 70C even when I was pushing it for a benchmark score. 100% load with max power draw and max clocks, cranked up enough to be beating some overclocked 1080s...and that resulted in 43% fan speed (barely audible) and 69C. They're very efficient cards. On a moderate overclock (still running over 2GHz - it runs at 1911 MHz stock), it draws under the stock power limit and runs at 65C with some brief increases to 66C. The fans must be running, but I can't hear them at all.

The loudest 1070 Ti I could find in reviews was measured at 38 dB 1m away in open air, under 100% load. One with a high quality air cooler would be much quieter, e.g. the MSI one I bought was measured as low as 29 dB 1m away in the reviews I saw, under 100% load. That's ambient noise in a very quiet room, so unless they were using an anechoic chamber it's essentially no extra noise. I was a bit sceptical, but now I'm not. My case has no sound dampening and a perspex side panel (crappy for noise) and I have to get down on the floor with my head near to the case to hear the graphic card's fans spinning up, on 100% load with 133% power draw and a 225/500 overclock, which took the fans to 43%.

I have my HDD mounted on rubber and it's still the loudest thing in my PC, louder than the 5 fans together. I was after a quiet build and that'll do for me. Although I might look into replacing that perspex side panel and maybe adding some sound dampening. There's always something more to fiddle with if you want to, that's part of the fun of a PC.
 
That's the problem with PC's, always looking to spend money on them for things you probably don't need! To be honest, even with the case sides off, when I first booted it up it was practically silent.

What would make you go for a 1080 over a 1070 Ti? I should probably add I'm running 1440p and no VR.

The price difference.

I think the price difference between the 1070ti and the 1080 I got was only £15 at the time and the 1080 came with destiny 2.

In my opinion the only 1070ti worth getting are the ones around the £400 price if not you may as well just a get a 1080.

Not sure if 1080's are still coming with a game though.
 
I have a CM690 ii Advanced so very similar cases. The airflow in the case is good and you wont find any problems as long as you configure your fans correctly. I had 980ti and 1080ti heavily overclocked.

Airflow setup assuming you have an AIO cooler for CPU
Front Intake
Rear Exhaust
Top Exhaust
PSU pointing down

Now you could add another intake on the side bottom for gfx card to balance out the pressure.
 
The Palit Jetstream has some good reviews. I'm struggling to see the difference between the two Palit models, apart from the £40 price difference. They both seem to have the same cooling arrangement, core and mem speeds, same outputs. Why the price difference I wonder? The name 'Jetstream' must be a clue. And, having dug into this further, I think the listed specs on the OcUK product page might be incorrect. A review of the Jetstream elsewhere lists it as having a 6-pin and one 8-pin power connector. The OcUK lists only "Power Input: 1x 8-pin".

Thanks! I appreciate the input from String and yourself on the case - makes for a comforting feeling! I keep thinking I should review the cooling which I haven't upgraded since I had a 3570k overclocked, and is now an i7700k overclocked. I have an AIO (Corsair H60) and a fair few fans but I'll compare what I have to your suggestions.

When money allows I fancy a more modern case to allow for an AIO with a dual radiator and larger fans. :-) That will have to wait for a while though.

I think you will find the jet stream has an 8 pin and a 6 pin where as the cheaper dual card only has 1 8 pin.

I have the palit dual 1080 and while it is a good card it does look and feel like a cheap kids toy. The jet stream would probably be better made also the jetstream has ribbed fans blades which will run quieter than the straight fan blades on the dual.

Looks like the jetstream also has RGB lighting

The cheaper Palit on OcUK is the Dual, not the Jetstream. Those two do not have the same cooling arrangement.

There are 3 Palit 1070 Ti models - Dual, Jetstream and Super Jetstream. The main difference is cooling - Dual is the worst, Jetstream is in the middle and Super Jetstream is the best. Dual has 1 BIOS whereas the others have 2 and it lacks the RGB lighting. Rather oddly, the Dual and Super Jetstream have only 8 pin but the Jetstream has an 8 pin and a 6 pin. No idea why the middle card would have the extra power connector.

You can confirm the differences at this handy comparison screen of all Palit models on their website:

http://www.palit.com/palit/vgapc.php?mid=2&subid=282&lang=en

Note that the Dual looks different to the Jetstream and Super Jetstream...and the picture on the cheaper one sold at OcUK is clearly the Dual (and wrongly labelled as "Twin X2", which isn't any Palit model).

The clock speeds are imposed by nVidia - every 1070 Ti must ship with the same clocks regardless of what the card is actually capable. Factory overclocked 1070 Tis are forbidden. If they weren't, then the Dual, Jetstream and Super Jetstream would come with different clocks from the factory (as they are for cards other than 1070 Ti). In actual use, you should get different speeds at stock anyway because the different levels of cooling should result in different boost levels.

Super Jetstream is basically Jetstream with better heatpipes, but you can't see the difference without disassembling it. Dual is a completely different cooler.

The Dual isn't a bad cooler, just not as good as Jetstream. Is Jetstream worth an extra £40? I've no idea - I can't find a direct comparison for the 1070 Ti models (and I think Jetstream and Super Jetstream are being confused anyway).

EDIT: I was wrong about 1 thing - on other Palit models, the Dual and Jetstream come with the same default clock speeds and the Super Jetstream comes with higher default clock speeds.

Yeah it's hard to know if the extra £40 for quieter fans is worth it.

When I got my card I had the same choice to make and went for the cheaper one because I was already way above what I wanted to spend.

I haven't regretted the palit dual cooler, the noise only comes in when you start clocking it high and even when clocked up you can here the fans but it's not a bad sound.

Would have been nice if they would have put the fancy fan blades on the cheaper model as well. It's only plastic I don't think it would have cost them any more to make.
