The Zotac and Palit is the quietest card as far as I know.

MSI Gaming runs cool and very quiet.

My Zotac AMP is silent. Mainly because the fans don't even need to turn on.

When they are on, they're so so quiet.

Plus dat 5 yr warranty doh.

Any aftermarket card will be cool and quiet (especially so if not overclocked). The FE will also be quiet with stock fan profile, although it will run on the hot side, which will give lower overall performance due to thermal throttling. This can be mitigated by using a more aggressive fan profile at expense of acoustics.
