I've heard the EVGA and Palit are ones to definitely avoid, as they're very noisy.

I think I have been able to hear my Palit graphics card, though it might have been the CPU fan cranking up a little. Hard to say unless I go taking the side off the case and frankly the noise is so slight and unobtrusive (ie it isn't a horrible whine just a slight rushing noise) the I can't be bothered to look

I tend to be very sensitive to noise as well, I spent quite a lot on my kit to make it nice & quiet.

Ive been lloking at investing in a new build and one of the things I keep getting stuck on is the GFX cards, Im thinking of getting x2 460 and running them SLI, I have been considering getting the OC Evga 1gm ones but now Im not so sure having read a few things about the noise. Though is there any problems performance wise with them appart from the noise?

I use a headset most of the time though so Im not sure how bothered about the fan noise I should be. If you had £150 to spend on one which would it be?
