Noise levels of GeForce 1080ti?

[keogh]

Hey guys,

I'm upgrading my EVGA GeForce GTX 680 to a 1080ti but just curious of the fan noise of these cards?

I've seen the "founders edition" and "blower edition", not sure of the difference? Does one use cheaper components? Not to fussed bout price, but want to get the better quality, more importantly quieter model.

Any suggestions? Any help appreciated!

Aftermarket cards you mention in point 5, are they not referred to as blower or founders in their name?

Not sure what you mean by blow outside the case? The card will sit in the PCIe in the middle of the case, so I'd guess not.

Sounds like I want an aftermarket with better cooling/components, as low noise level is my preference for the card.

Can u recommend any cards on ocuk in particular?

My msi 1080ti gaming x is silent when gaming.

Got a link to that in ocuk?

reference/Blowers suck in air from the small fan and force air our the back of the card (where the IO ports are) see the vents in the back space, this is its only outlet.

Non reference/Aftermarket sucks air into the heatsink & blows tyhe hot air either side of the heatsink dumping the hot air inside your PC case

Which is generally quieter would you say? I suppose, as mentioned above, it would depend on RPM, but the single fan would be less noisy too right?
