Fanless Video Card Suggestions

[ajemm]

I'm in the process of finishing off what I hope is a very quiet computer build. I have narrowed my video card choices to a couple of cards. I have this which is SLi compatible or this which has DDR3 and a little better performance. I'm only a casual gamer (mostly sports titles), but I'd like a card that can run anything for under $150. Any other suggestions?

7600GTS, or 7600GT, or the upcoming X1650XT

According to the review today the X1650XT looks like it draws significantly more power than the 7600GT. Since the performance is almost identical I would get the 7600GT because it is lower power and has been out for a long time so it will be easy to find one that is passive from the factory.

For The Win.
Great card, especially w/ the rebate. Definitly better than ati's offerings on power consumtion and heat, and just about equal to the x850xt on image quality.
I hear that that card oc's well too
