Quiet 7850

[anything I don't mind]

Looking for a quiet 7850 that will be as cheap as possible.

I have been considering the MSI HD 7850 OC seeing as its on special for £130. But i think the fan is a reference design and i have been reading up and they said that the two fan cards have 10db less noise. But I can't find any detail spec for the MSI HD 7850 OC .

Has anyone bought the MSI HD 7850 OC and can tell me how noisy it is?

no idea on the fan noise issue (other than the fact my windforce 670 is damn near silent), however, I believe the MSI 7850 that is currently on sale is a 1gb model, whic I think most people would agre is somewhat limiting (at 1920x1080 anyway).
I suspect the extra £20 to get a 2GB model would be money well spent
