Fuck this card can get loud, sounds like my computer is about to fly off at mach 3... The Gigabyte card would have been silent... I will say pegging the fans at 100 percent keeps my 1200mhz core oc sitting at 52*C which is very impressive... I will have to tweak the fan profile and see at what temperatures it starts to throttle
No telling where the temps would be with the Gigabyte 780Ti but I could tell you that it would have been silent at 100 percent duty cycle because my brothers 7970 windforce 3 is silent... I would bet the temps would be comparable and wouldn't throttle
Gonna keep it just because it will resale quickly
