They're saying that evga is reusing their old coolers, which isn't desirable but I don't really mind too much. If you're going with another brand:

Silence: asus strix

Balanced: msi twin frozr

performance: giga g1 gaming

EVGA is one of the best Nvidia card makers.  Go for it.

That's a okay price for the card. The EVGA has s small manufacturing fault on their cooelr though. It's made for a different card so the heatpipes don't all make contact with the GPU. It shouldn't impact on cooling that much though since maxwell is very efficient.

 

The Gigabyte g1 is probably the strongest card of them all. It overclocks the most. MSI and Asus have put out very quiet cards with their TwinFrozr 5 and Strix respectiveley. But the EVGA is a solid card as far as i can tell. No major issues.

who cares...

The Gigabyte card is not at all loud. Many reviews show that.

and one other thing, sc vs none-sc?

they are both pretty silent, since the 9xx-series is very efficient
