Silent Video Cards (ATI or nVidia)

[pcmodem]

Howdy,
I've seen the line of silent video cards from Sapphire, based on ATI chips.

Does anyone make silent video card solutions based on nVidia GPUs?



Thanks,
PCM

I've always read that MSI cards are quiet

You can put the same fanless heatpipe cooler (the Zalman ZM80C-HP) on any ATI or NVIDIA graphics card.

I have seen GF4MX's with passive cooling as well as GFFX 5200's. Whatever card you get with passive cooling will not to be too powerful of a card. I think eVGA makes a 5200 with passive cooling but be warned, these cards (any 5200's) are dog slow.

MSI's cards are silent. I mean unless you put your ear up to the card itself. I unplugged all my fans in my case to see what was making the racket in my computer (turned out it was my ancient 20Gig western digital HDD) and i forgot about the video card, but i couldn't hear it at all.

A VGA silencer makes almost all ATI cards pretty much silent.
