Best fanless gpu?

You won't find anything more powerful than that as an out of the box solution. Even those x50 Ti KalmX cards realistically need some case airflow, as they get very hot without any. There are some giant aftermarket heatsinks like the Raijintek Morpheus lineup that you can buy which might be able to run passively on something slightly more powerful, but you'd need to check compatibility and also go through the hassle of fitting it. In my opinion, you'd be much better off just getting a card with fans. Most stop under no/light load these days anyway, and there are some extremely quiet cards out there even under full load.
 
Rather than making baseless claims and spouting rubbish I can talk from experience. I have previously owned both a 750ti Kalm x and a 1050ti kalm x. I found both to hold their clocks and operate without problems. In fact my 750ti wouldn’t go over 55oc (it was close to a case fan).

You can see from this review it’s ‘as good’ as a stock ‘fanned’ 1050ti.

All that said if you need a more powerful option there are plenty of ‘silent’ fanned GPUs in the market.
 
You could quite easily buy any 1050Ti and just lock the fan speed low enough to be inaudible and it'd still work perfectly. Those cards run ridiculously cool. The wife has the ITX single fan MSI one and it's at like 50-55C flat out gaming and you can't hear it at all.

He wants a 6GB card, does that exists without fan? No. How's I make baseless claims?
Also is it baseless claim that £180 it too expensive for a 1050Ti performance?
 
People have different perceptions of noise. I've had so much gear over the years that was supposedly silent, that I did not find quiet at all.
 
i have a single fan evga 1060 and its loud as fk.

Must be a terrible cooler on that card! I have the single fan Gigabyte 1060 ITX card and it's very quiet, sits at around 72C when it's flat out and the fan doesn't go over ~65%.

Because you quoted the 1050ti link and said ‘even this card needs needs very good airflow with multiple fans throttle like mad etc’

And yet you have nothing to base that on. No experience, no reviews to demonstrate an ill thought out and baseless claim.

Take off the shroud and the fan, and add a proper fan to it with cable-ties. Use a GPU PWM adapter like this:

My basket at Overclockers UK:
Total: £6.69 (includes shipping: £2.74)​


As for the fan size, measure the GPU heatsink, and use either 92mm or 120mm fan:

My basket at Overclockers UK:
Total: £55.84 (includes shipping: £9.90)​


It will be a lot quieter. Even quieter if you download Afterburner and set a custom fan profile.
