Looking for a fast and silent VGA...

Hi,

I currently have a GTX260 card which is fine for my resolution 1680x1050. However I am looking for a more silent and faster VGA. Do you have anything in mind?

thank you
 
Which GTX260 do you own?

Is it the 192 or 216sp version?

Faster and silent might be difficult since in my experience the 260's a pretty quiet and fairly rapid card.

Compared to one of my 192sp GTX260's running on its own i found the GTX285 to be a good deal faster and pretty much just as quiet.

TBH i'm a little surprised you feel you need more speed for that resolution.

gtx275 and gtx 285 have similar noise levels as the gtx260.
That's right - as i said it's about the same volume.

Finding a silent card that's better than the 260 is very difficult. I don't personally think those cards are very loud anyway.

Perhaps watercooling or a decent aftermarket cooler should be a consideration if there's an issue.
