My office PC is made up of my old parts that I no longer need, and had shoved in GTX 590 that I no longer use and care about.

 

The problem is that it is an EXTREMELY hot and noisy card, especially in a non-performance grade case. Just think of regular office PC.

 

I would like to get some recommendation on replacement for the GTX 590.

 

Top requirement is cool & quiet while maintaining similar or exceeding performance to GTX 590. Cost wise, cheaper the better but I am not budget restricted.

 

I do have GTX Titan lying around, but I am not comfortable shoving in this card in a case that is bound to self-destruct some day. LoL

You have a Titan laying around LOL nice. Get a new case and save a lot of money by using the Titan?

 

Maybe a 780, that would be pretty much on-par since the Titan is just a little worse than the 590. The 780 would be about the same as the Titan. You could even get the new 6GB 780 from EVGA.

Maybe a 690? But why would you have a Titan laying around?

Well, according to @TheCroaker's graph, it seems the 690 is obviously smoking everything else in PCMark Vantage.

The remaining Titan will be used for another workstation type desktop.

 

My office PC is mostly for office work and some gaming in free time.

 

Besides, I like collecting better cards I have used.

 

How about a 7970, or a GTX770? That should be very good for some light gaming.
