Looking for new NVIDIA card (1 Viewer)

[dero]

Guys,

at the moment, I've got a NVIDIA Geforce 7600 GT passive cooled.

I want to buy a new cutting-edge one, but should also be silent. I am eying an 9800 GTX.

Does anybody know of a silent variant of it, e.g. passively cooled or very big fans???

Thanks!

Dero

Hi dero

I have a BFG 7900gs and you cannot hear the fan running on that, it is totally silent, and read quite a few articles relating to BFG regarding noiseless fans, loudest thing i have is the HDD's as a distant hum when they are running

you can get passively cooled 9500gt's

if you're not using the machine for gaming then these are a cheaper option than the 9800 and will give equivalent quality HTPC playback. (all of the 9 series nvidias offer full decode of vc-1)

If you're gaming then there are 9600gt's with passive cooling also.
