Best passive GFX?

Hi..

I'm thinking about making a multimedia-box (or what ever it's called). Beside from watching movies and recording TV I want to be able to play games on it (racing games would the majority (forget about HDTV resolutions)).

So I'm looking for the best passive PCI-e graphic card.

Any thoughts?

Thanks 🙂
 
I really wouldn't want anything higher than say an x700 in passive form unless you have really good case airflow...i've had a few passive cards (lower end stuff) and i've had overheating problems with the majority of them in the middle of summer without AC here (with room temps well into the 30'Cs)...

Just get the card of your choice and a Zalman AlCu aftermarket hsf..then the card can be almost totally silent while not gaming, and not very audible at all while gaming...
