Is this card loud?I'm thinking about getting a new graphics card. My current card - GeForce 310 (512 mb) is very quiet. I want something comparable.

This card works so well for my needs, I replaced 3 other systems with this product.

I can not hear this card over the normal cooling fan of the computer. Yes it is quiet.

Is kind of quiet I think but I won't lie to you I use this card at work and sometimes is kind of loud there

If you're comparing this card to a fanless card, you will consider this quite loud. As compared to similarly spec'd card, I would rate this moderately loud *under load*. At idol, it's quite quiet. An option you could consider is an additional water cooling alternative -- there are quiet options out there.

I believe if you overclock the card, especially if you have 2 of them in SLI, they might produce some noise. I have a lower-end GTX660 (might upgrade to the GTX-780 in 3-5 years) and at its default settings, it runs pretty quiet.So again, it all depends on if you're planning to overclock the card.

The fans get pretty loud when gaming. They must be doing their job because I have not had an overheat problem yet. I wear head phones most of the time so the fan noise is no problem. I usually play with every thing maxed out as much as possible with no problems yet. The only thing I would recommend is get an MSI with a larger SSD than 128 Gig, it fills up very fast with todays games and it would be worth it. That is the only thing I wish I had done, other than that this thing is awesome.

Well, using the AMD Catalyst center, what is the speed you have? Mine runs 50-60% and is not that loud. It also depends on the case you have, remember that loudness depends on how intensive the game is, and in BF3 it is considered normal. The dual fan card will be quiet, because it has double dissipation.

The fan is actually better than some people say - the default cooling profile never pushes the fan hard. If you download evga's wonderful "Precision X" utility, you can set up your own fan profile. I was easily able to get my card to run at least 10 degrees cooler than it did with default settings, and that includes overclocking the bad boy as much as I can. Be warned, though - blower-style coolers are good but they are also noisy. The reason the default fan profile is pretty tame is to keep noise down. With my custom profile, you will definitely hear the fan when it spins up. I don't mind myself as I never notice it over the sounds of my game.

I play Battlefield 4 and Guild Wars 2. Both keep a smooth steady 60fps. It would probably be higher if my system was a little beefier. I have an AMD940 with ddr2 ram. I don't overclock, and it always stays a tad below 70c under load. My machine gets a little loud when everything is running at full speed, but Im not sure if I can hear the GPU fan above the power supply and CPU fan which will speed up under load. I think its a great card for the money.

Neither, the card runs fairly cool and actually, I hear far less noise than I used to. At first I did not think the card was booting it was so quiet :p note: I have not attempted overclocking or editing the fan speeds at all. Just out of the box usage.

I really like my Titan Black card! I run everything maxed out and I don't even get slight frame delay. My Card is a Beast! I couldn't tell you anything about the 980. I am currently playing the new Wolfenstein The New Order. Everything is Maxed out and Video Sync is turned on. Glass smooth Graphics and the card runs cool.

The card does get very hot. You can increase the max fan speed to help cool it off. This will make the card louder but it's a trade off.

This card is very quiet. I haven't noticed any noise while working on the system.

Not at all. This video card very quite. I have the corsair graphite series 600T. if the fan go up it produces a bit hiss noise but not high pitched so it is not annoying. the fans on my corsair h100i are actually much noiser. I have these cards in SLI. I would really recommend it its very quite and thermal management is really good. The titanium version just came out you might wanna check that one too. in terms of noise Nvidia is the winner.

It might lower it a few decibels but that is a problem with the card making excessive noise. This item is sort of one of the last things you can tweak to reduce noise from your PC but it can only reduce noise that much... If it that bad i would look at a new card or just trying this foam to maybe alleviate your problem.

If you want a quiet or cool card stay far away from the AMD R9 series. The reference R9 290x sounds like a leaf blower sometimes when I would game with eyefinity. I ended up selling it for a GTX 970.

I have this card and play all my games on 1680x1050 since I have a 20" widescreen. For BF4 I play on Medium Settings. I can play on Ultra, and it does play good, but I prefer Medium Settings. Also if you install Geforce Experience it will detect the supported games and set the graphics to best playability. The main games I play are BF3, BF4, Star War Old RePublic, Neverwinter MMO. I have a 2nd 550 TI which I have not installed SLI yet. I've just been lazy.... happy gaming...

I've had no issues with it, and I usually play with all the settings maxed out. This might help: http://uk.hardware.info/reviews/4851/zotac-geforce-gtx-780-amp!-edition-review-part-2-problems-solved!
