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.

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

Your card should have a fan on it already. If that is not enough just turn the computer off and let it cool down. Check with the specs on your computer. You can only upgrade so far. I wanted a stronger one myself but EVGA has not made an upgrade for my computer for some time now. But shop around you may find one that I have not seen yet. Let me know if you do. I may just upgrade to a new computer with a dual or triple slot graphics card. Hope this helps you out some.

My average FPS on Counter-Strike Global Offensive is about 200 fps.Battlefield 3 on High settings (Not Ultra) 60 fpsIts not too loud, but you can hear it, doesn't annoy me thoughI have had no heating problems with this graphics cards, its a litle old but still has the latest technologies, (CUDA etc...)very cheap, very good :)

I was coming from a Saphire Radeon 4890 to this card, and when i first powered up the machine i thought something was wrong because the system was so quiet. I literally had to look to make sure the fans were spinning. I don't know what card you are used to, but coming from the 4890, i can't even hear the machine now.

nope, mine run pretty quiet.. i run these fans at 80% fan speed while playing games.. but i also have a headset on.. and my watercooler fans are louder then the fans on the GPU. at 43% fan speed, you barely even notice they are spinning

I like my EVGA GeForce GT 610 I watch a lot of videos too, looks great. One warning make sure you know how work with windows fonts, they changed when I installed the card. I'm using 8.1 though

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!

At the moment,I'm running 2 Radeon HD 7950s and with all fans running around 30% and can't hear them at all{including the GPU fans} I've never had to run them at 100% for any reason but I'm sure there wouldn't be that much noise from the case. I'm really please with it. Hope this helps.

It is pretty quiet when just doing basic tasks(surfing the web basic games). The fans will kick on when under heavy gaming and evet then it's not loud at all. Overall the MSI is one of the best laptops I have owned. Hope this helps.....

I have two of them using SLI, I have never had a problem of overheating or any noise at all from either of them. I highly recommend this card for the money.

This card is extremely loud! If you want quiet, go for a card with an aftermarket cooler. BTW you don't need a high powered GPU for Music work. You could probably get away with an integrated graphics solution offered by Intel and AMD.

Yes even on 50 %. Nvidia cards are typically quiet compared to AMD. I have two and I barely hear them half of the time. They do make my room heat up like a sauna.

Honestly, I have the EVGA GTX 670 and I have had it replaced in less than a year. HDMI sound kept shutting down when the system went into sleep mode. Then I had to reboot to get it back. EVGA sent me a replacement card right away but, it has the same problem only not as often. I also have had two other EVGA cards go belly-up on me in the past six months. I started buying MSI and others.

Supported card from Cooler Master's site:NVIDIA GeForce8800GTS 512MB (G92 Ver.),8800GT,8600 series, 8500 series,7600 series, 7300 seriesATI RadeonHD3870, HD3850,HD2900, HD2600, HD2400,X1950, X1900,X1800,X1650,X1650 Pro,X1550I'm using it with Radeon HD 6570 that is power consumption is rated at 50 watts. It keeps it cool and quiet.NVIDIA GTX 570 is rated at 219 watts, so i guess it needs a much more massive cooling than this one can achieve.

This is a high end card. I looked at the the FTW version of this card before buying the windforce GHZ model. The GHZ gigabyte model has a better overclock and comes with a back plate. It also runs very quite under load and I have been very happy with it so far. Considering buying a second for sli right now. The only real step up currently available is the Gigabyte 780 Ti GHZ edition if you can find it in stock anywhere and it will cost you about $200 more.

works, buts its too loud fan, in games like BF4 (over 85% GPU procesor )need at last 80% of power fan to keep under 70ºC. Good card, but it's better one with a double fan or better cooling system.

I actually have a GTX 770 sitting right here.... I haven't installed it because my Radeon HD8760 has been rock solid. Honestly dont' think i will install the GTX unless something goes horribly wrong with the Radeon.
