Hi,
I run a media center PC that I use for gaming in my living room. I was wondering if anyone could help me figure out which is the quietest GPU.

The ASUS seems to be a good choice, but some reviews show it having up to 39DBa at load.

Anyone have any experience with this? My current card - Sapphire 7970 - is around 41DBa.

What case are you using?
Media center cases are often small with not so much cooling.

I suspect that a GTX970 with a blower type cooler would suit you best. It may be louder in an open test bed, but in a case, it will get the hot air out quicker.
The fan type coolers may cool better and be quieter in an open test bed, but in a case, you need good case cooling to deal with the heat that is dumped into the case.
