I have an Evga GTX 770. It did not start doing this until a month or two ago.The GPU itself is fine, but occasionally it starts to vibrate (violently!) against the case. Power supply fan doesn't not kick until it reaches 50 C and I have Noctua case/CPU fans. I need silence restored to my rig.

I've reseated the card multiple times. I tried to offset it from the case and set it perfectly against the case. Either way it starts vibrating again after a day or so.

I'm not upgrading to a new card any time soon, I was wondering what I else I could try to fix this?

Hmmm, it sounds like its fan wants to give up the ghost. Make sure it's clean You might contact EVGA about a RMA. You could buy an aftermarket VGA cooler and replace the stock one.
You could also wrap some heavy rubber bands around the card where it hits against your case as a cushion, or buy a cheap rubber placemat and cut a piece out of it to tape inside your case.
