Hello.

Im looking into getting a new card, but heres the issue,
I found a new gtx 770 for a good price, its the OCed one from gigabyte with windforce cooling, but also i found a used asus gtx 970 but they are reporting that the card has the coil whine problem.

After searching a lot, i found many 970 owners experiencing the coil whine issue with this card.
I dont know how loud the coil whine can be, i have never experienced it, in my case i have many fans running so if this is something i might not be hearing then do u think its better to spend 80€ more into getting the 970, or should i go with the 770 safer?

Thank you.

Well seems im going with 970.
I found 2 new cards for a good price, 1 is gigabyte 970 G1 and the other one is EVGA SSC ACX 2.0+, the evga is 5€ cheaper, but from reviews i see the G1 from gigabyte to be a better choice overall. What you think between those 2 cards?

I also thought about 1060, but the non-sli option its something that made me avoid that card.

Thank you.
