I've been mulling over getting a new video card similar to the ASUS Stryx 960 as I've read it doesn't even spin up the fans until its taxed. I've also heard on near silent systems that it can start to whine (electronic noises or coil whine)
If there is anything that I hate more than fan noise, its coil whine. Its worse.
I think I've read that MSI has a 960 that works the same way but I forgot. I'd like some other options that would be the same as the stryx just confirmed with no coil whine.
What other cards don't spin up fans at all until under heavy load? I don't want ANY moving fans while I'm browsing or reading. This is 90% of the time. a Mid Range card or something equivalent to the 5850 I have now.
My 5850 still runs fine but the aftermarket cooler I put on it a while ago is quite loud. It can still play BF4 and most other games on high so I was thinking that the stryx 960 would be comparable, just not as loud. IF it has coil whine, it'll drive me nuts
