Gigabyte 10cm fan on HD 6770 - Is it quiet?
Posted: Sun Oct 23, 2011 10:08 am
Hi All,
My Sapphire HD 4670 Ultimate (passively cooled) has just broken so I have to get a new card. The options are
Passively cooled:
Sapphire HD 6670
Sapphire HD 6570
If I am honest though, I would like a bit of an upgrade in terms of performance. The 6570 seems to be similar to the 4670, and the 6670 has a truly massive heat sink and seems to be a risky option.
If I get one with a fan I am going to get the best performance for my budget. I was thinking of a Gigabyte 6770 1GB with a 10 cm fan (supposed to be 'virtually silent' in the marketing language used).

I wondered if anyone had any experience with Gigabyte graphics cards and had any opinions how quiet their fans are?
Other suggestions appreciated.
Thanks
