I am looking for a card around $250 that has a good balance of performance and noise levels (everything else in my mATX build is ultra quiet). I seem to have narrowed it down to two options.

MSI Gaming N760 TF 2GD5/OC GeForce GTX 760
MSI GeForce GTX 760 GAMING ITX 2GB 256-bit

I know that the TF is very quiet and powerful, and that the second one will be less quiet and powerful, but by how much? It would be nice to have the smaller card for my mATX build (although the TF could fit...)

EDIT: Also, any difference in noise levels between the MSI 760 TF and the MSI 770 TF?
