I hope the ASUS cards hold up because I have three on hand. I have had their cards since the "Dark Knight" cooler AMD cards. I have never had to test their support system. I hope I never have to.
I have 3 Asus Strix cards, and none whine while gaming. I don't play benchmarks, so I cant comment on that. You don't hear the fans ramp up at all under normal daily use.
Maybe a 750 Ti as you wont need a PCIE connector and your weak psu might be able to handle it. You could also save up for a whole new PC. You could keep the 3770 cpu, and use it in the new build.
I am not a fanboy, but have not owned a AMD card since 5870s a few years ago. I don't like loud, hot, video cards like AMD has been releasing for quite a while now at the top end. Give it similar performance, run cooler and quieter, and I will buy it. Multiple cards in sli and crossfire suc as...
I have had many AMD cards in the past. I hope they can make a quiet, cool running, powerful card in the near future. I will buy whatever, from whoever. Nvidia has just been better for the last few generations. I don't mind buying, selling every generation if there is something interesting to...

In years past I have had terrible coil whine. I switched PSUs and problem has gone away. My Corsair HX750 has been great, I don't recall any coil whine from GPUs since I have put this in years ago.
Yes I did, boost stays at 1440 on 3dmark11, temps in 60s, 1 test went to 72 max, fan left on default auto. No throttling here. I will try higher settings when I get a chance. I just cranked it this amount to see if it was ok at these speeds.
Just bought a ref. cooled zotac for the msrp of $549. It has the 2 six pin power connectors, I just added +200 and +300 on memory right out of the box, base is now 1327 boost 1416. I see it boosting on benchmarks to 1440. Fan is on auto, stock voltage. The card is working great. I don't know...
