I put a vga silencer on my 9800pro and don't really notice a difference, overclocking my card doesn't really make a difference in games either. If I had it all to do over again, I wouldn't get the silencer and just leave the card stock, since I'm not a big overclocker anyway.

Or how about the a-holes who buy a better card than their's only to swap their dead mod-gone-wrong and return the box for their money back? I declare a holy jihad on these RMA-tards.Originally posted by: VisableAssassin
