So I currently is using an sapphire 290 and it currently got mad coil whine and when under load I can hear the fans and it's making all sorts of * woo woo wub wub * sounds.

Personally it's irritating me too much and I am considering changing.

What GPU is worth getting which is quieter but still provides good 60+ fps at 1080p?
 
Ok so yeah.
When the GPU hits approxitmately 70 degrees, the fan wubbing becomes too much for me.

I need a fan which doesn't much such sounds under decent load.

If the coil whine isn't loud, it should be fine as the PC isn't located next to me.

Is the GTX 980 worth it?

I'm not going to take anymore risk and even so, the supplier doesn't even have anymore 290 trix in stock until mid may.

I might just refund and get the MSI GTX 970 as I heard a lot of good things about it

Before I tried 2x tri-x vapor and it had some mad coil whine
I'm not sure if I want to test my luck on a 290 again
