Windoforce is great (I have a windforce GTX 670) at keeping things cool and overclocking but they do get loud if you're pushing them to 80%+ fan speed.

Here is a comparison of best 7970s backin the day that Toms Hardware did.

Sure but that's with an overclock adn that wa sa year ago.   I believe Gigabyte have changed the fans since so they are quieter under the higher OC load.   I don't have a benchmark or link to back it up at the moment though.  I'd have to go searching.

Yeah, if you don't overclock its absolutely fine. And for this card and a single monitor, you definetly won't need to overclock for a while

I personally love to squeeze 100% of the performance from my gear from day 1 lol.

I picked up a 3870k APU and a 6570 Radeon in crossfire last week dirt cheap since they were clearing FM1 motherboards and processors. Fascinating little APU. I've overclocked it so much that the APU alone is running on 2400 Mhz RAM memory (not officially supported)  but the GPU in crossfire can't keep up. So 2200 Mhz is the most they could both run stable.
