Most silent GPU 7970 / 680 perhaps

[thesecond]

Hi im looking for a new GPU and i cannot decide between 680 and 7970, which one is better for this moment. i really want the best available model, the beast - performance combined with quietest cooling because i hope i wont have to change it for a long time, haha. Tell me your experience with silent gpus, i tried reference 7970 before and it was noisy like an !@#$% airplane. help me to choose one, i need power but most important is to can hear myself think which was impossible before. thank you in advance

I'll go ahead and assume that you'd be okay with these and that there's a 680 version as well. If you want to buy with a pre-installed cooler just get the DirectCUII/ Windforce/ Twinf Frozr/ Vapor-x edition of the card of your choice.
