Nah, it's not exclusive to the 7970 - a lot of cards may or may not exhibit coil whine.

For the price of a 750ti? You just got a steal :o

Well yeah. The card has just got one problem. He's telling me That the cooler os loud, but I haven't heard the cooler's sound yet. I might just wait until the card arrives. I might be able to set a custom fan profile, that might work, right?
