the fans don't run til it hits 60 degrees. they don't run fast. and even when they do you hear them but it's not annoying. it's easy to ignore when under a gaming load. i can simply have it around 60/65% and you don't even hear it. it keeps it around 60-70c. mind you this is while overclocked. i personally got it stable in most games with a 100 on the core and 880 on the memory. even without an overclock it doesnt even reach the 70c. 

the software is well i have no issues with it. you can use their overclocking software but i use afterburner for the overlay. 
its a good card. especially if you want to game at 1080p. you will be able to do this at high refresh for the upcoming years for sure.

I am building new setup. I've decided to go with RTX 2070 Super. But I still hesitate which one to choose. There is

(1) GIGABYTE WINDFORCE OC 3X (the cheapest in my region)

(2) MSI GAMING X TRIO (a little bit pricier - approx. 50 $ -  comparing with (1))

(3) GIGABYTE AORUS (approx 90 $ more than (1))

Which one should I choose?

the cheapest one. as spending more brings you closer to a higher tier card, which at that point 

 

gaming x trio is probably among the best cooling wise. tho its not really worth it.

None, get a 5700xt devil and save some money.

why? it has little to no overclocking headroom. it is weaker than the 2070 super to begin with. doesnt come with raytracing which is actually very runable on a 2070 super. especially since he is getting a 1080p monitor.

windforce has less higher boost speeds, It's 2 slot mine is 3 slot. so thicker thus better cooling. + that one has active fan thus always running mine is passive. so not running until its actually underload. i also barely hear mine while gaming. 

it also doesnt have multi colour rgb if you are into that.
