Graphics Card Noise Comparison

[Randomface74]

So.. I have a 5870 Vapour-X.. I CAN'T HEAR IT.

It's near-enough silent.

But I'm having some problems with drivers, so I'm thinking about getting a 560 Ti or 570. (this thread isn't about performance)

I want to know how loud the 560 Ti and 570 are. (and which custom cooler is quietest)

Problem is, people say "yes it's quiet", but then it turns out not to be. It's too subjective.

I need some measurements to compare - anyone heard of such a comparison?

Well some would say the 5870 Vapor-x isn't quiet so I would take what people say with a pinch of salt. People have said the 460 and the 560 are quiet but on what scale?

That's the problem - I want to make sure the next card I buy actually is no louder than my current card.

Here's some more test's for you to look at,

Vapour-x is very quite imo, same with my HD5770- quietest gaming card I've ever had, plus very cool!
