How are the noise levels on these two cards from personal experience? I know it is a bit subjective, but I'd still like to hear some people's opinions. I'd like to have a very quiet computer when gaming. I know the kind of noise an Xbox 360 (with fans on what sounds like max) puts out and I'd rather have the exact opposite with my computer.
I've heard the GTX 570 does 40dB at load, but another place I've heard 50dB. Some places I've heard it's super quiet and yet other places I've read it can be loud enough to be really annoying. I'm not sure what to believe. I also don't know how the 6970 compares.
