Generally I agree with this especially if you find a killer deal on one.

The hybrid EVGA models are nice for good clock speeds and temps without generating a lot of noise.  Can be spendy.

Founders Edition cards are OK though if they are in a warm case they can be very noisy with the blower fan spun up.  I sold mine for that reason.

My aorus and evga sc2 hybrid are nearly silent.  The aorus (and strix) are huge cards.  If you are putting these inside a case the motherboard slot spacing has to be considered.  Two giant cards next to each other means one is going to get choked for air.
