So I'm looking for A: quiet, and B: preferably cool. Don't care about clock speeds, will probably put the card on an undervolted, silent profile (if it has it), and not worry about it. This will basically be a card for WoW @1080p, with enough headroom to not upgrade for years. Overkill, like I said.
Right now I can get these options:
Powercolor Red Devil 8GB for $210 locally
MSI Armor OC 8GB for $210 shipped (with a $30 rebate I doubt will ever ship out)
MSI Gamer X 8GB for $230 shipped. (with a $20 rebate I doubt will ever ship out)
I can also do a Sapphire 8GB Nitro for $200 locally, but I heard those were loud and ran hot.
I can also do a 6GB Gamex X 1060 for $245 shipped.
All of these cards are overkill for my needs, I just want as quiet a computer as possible, while not creating an oven in my case. Cooler the case, quieter the fans, etc etc.
So... What do you guys think?
