Hi,

Had to move my whole PC set up into the front room, Now the dragon is moaning like hell she cant hear *******ers and Corry on the telly due to video card racket when i have new games on and the fans kick in, I cant hear it due to awesome headphones

Does anyone know a decent card that's not as loud as an airliner taking off when you load AC Unity or Mordor or the like? Is there such a thing?

Don't really think i can afford a water cooled jobby..

any ideas

thanks

haha thanks for the replies,

I even paid virgin media extra money to put another box in the bedroom so she can watch telly in there... still moaning..

anyway my mate told me overclockers will let you send your 970 back if you are not happy with it? is that still the case?

cheers

Depends on what cooler the GPU is using..

INNO3D gtx 970 the first one - so loud

What's you budget, current card and monitor resolution.

refund money from the above £270 i think maybe a bit more x 1080 - 290x? not buying another nvidia card, always been AMD the 970 swung it to get on release - massive dissapointment tbh

buy the mrs headphones for the tv

no go i'm afraid i have already tried that and had virgin media installed in the bedroom..

The cooling is fine, the case has extra fans, all recently been took out and cleaned, CPU re pasted etc, good cooler on it... its not that my brother recently helped me do all that

Its a card issue:

The OP might be able to fix it them self though.

omg thank you for that, I don't think i'm going to start taking it pieces though, This is only the second PC i have ever built and the fact i can send it back with no hassle from Overclockers after reading everything in this thread, I think i wll do that and buy an AMD card as i have never had any problems with any of them.

thank you

I think what people are perhaps concerned about if a 970 is too noisy you might have a hard time finding a significantly quieter card unless there is a issue with yours or your setup,

I put 2 other video card in to test it when my brother helped me and cleaned it all.. none of them made half the racket this one does when you have mordor,dying light,dragon age Inq running.. thats why i thought i better ask on here

If you want a quiet card then may I suggest you buy a better brand, buying an AMD card won't fix the issue, it may even make it worse as they run hotter.

ok thanks for the wise words, Duh.. Unfortunately i am not made of money otherwise i would have got a different one.. but i made my decision to buy it just after release due to it's price and what people where saying about it..

Maybe an AMD will run hotter but my case is good, Cooling is as good as it can be for my budget and i never had this problem before, with 1 GB cards, 2 GB cards and wanting now a 4GB one i thought i would be alright.

Anyway Sorted now,

Took delivery of my R9 290 Vapor and it is virtually Silent when running all the games i use my machine for... unbelievable really and shows that other cards cooler was terrible..

thanks for the replies
