fastest passive nvidia?

Haha, Sorry I just didn't think he'd be looking for a mega passive card, however I doubt you'll get your hands on one like Marine said :)

I appreciate you said 'passive nVidia', but how about the 7750? Although it is not passive, from what I've seen from reviews is that it is very quiet. What is your budget? :)

i already have a couple 6770's i could put in it tho and maybe the new ones are quiter still but i dont think much more powerful?

What game are you referring to?

If your mobo supports crossfire, then a couple of 6770's should roughly equate to something like a 6950 (at best).

Out of interest, I used a 4870 in place of a 6770 when trying to make a comparison between the 7750 and 6770 (iirc a 4870 is roughly around the same performance as the 6770) :

tribes tho LoL too, LoL doesnt need much
right now i have desktop and gaming separate
i just dont always feel like doing that, sitting at a proper pc when gaming

i appreciate ur advice its good advice

i know the 660's are coming but there must be more small cards too coming, a small 670 would be awesome, nvidia's lineup seems to skip from useless to giant :rolleyes:

Yeah, I know what you mean. Unless one is looking to buy a mid ranged nVidia card or above, there's little reason to consider them when you have AMD priced so competitively at the home theatre / entry level gaming market.

Hope you find your solution. :)

There's a passive HD6850 for sale, £144. It's the fastest on the site from what I recall. I think I remember seeing a passive GTX680, but it was massive enough that it could snap your motherboard in half.
