I found a great deal on a used Sapphire 7870 xt.

I already have a heavily overclocked gtx 570 with custom cooler. I'd put it over a 580 at standard clocks anyway.
Anyone with experience in this upgrade path? Also can I expect coil whine with this particular card? I've not experienced it, my current card is quiet as a church mouse.
I really like the performance I get from my current card but I looked and some gpu charts and the XT seems promising and the price is right.
Anyone want to chime in I would appreciate it. 150 bucks for the 7870 xt used is still a pretty good deal. I trust the seller.
