Acoustics
The acoustic performance of a graphics card is an increasingly important consideration for PC users and Gamers these days. While fan noise is unlikely to ruin the gaming experience, no one likes a noisy graphics card and no one will argue with the fact that quieter is better. Many users are willing to sacrifice temperatures to gain a noise advantage, but with better cooling solutions being developed it is increasingly common to be able to get both better cooling and better acoustic performance than a reference solution on most custom cooled graphics cards from Nvidia and AMD partners. That said both AMD and Nvidia have stepped up their game too with regards to acoustics on their reference coolers. Ultimately, acoustics will always be a big deciding factor when there is often very little differentiation between graphics cards using the same GPUs.

Bring on the custom coolers!!! My wallet is ready and waiting!
Me too 😀
All Hail AMD..!!!
uk price is under a GTX 780 by about £40…. for titan performance , and anyone complaining about it being hot and using a lot of power never had a gtx 480
Bit cheaper than that actually. Cheapest R9 290X I can see is £430, cheapest GTX 780 is about £500. I make that £70?
ocuk have a gigabyte gtx 780 for £479 , and same place has the pre order for 290x for £429…. so that’s £50 😀 but ofc a faster card for less money is the winner 😀
Fair play 😛
