Graphics card advice

[lozcs]

Had some advice for CPU coolers here - so thought I'd try for some graphics card advice...

I'm after...

PCI Express
Fanless - or VERY quiet
D Pin analogue VGA output
Apart from Vista Aero compatible - speed not really an issue (only DVD playback)

I've got a Intel D975XBX system board with a radeon X1300 at the moment (fine for me - but fan is tooooo loud) - would this run with a better heat sink and no fan?

Any ideas or do I need to bite the bullet and get a new monitor?

Thanks,

Lawrence.....

How about this model http://www.overclockers.co.uk/showproduct.php?prodid=GX-127-AS&groupid=701&catid=56&subcat=912 ?.

I just seen someone that had a X800 say that they were getting a passive 8500GT so I just had a look and found that one. I think that fills your requirements .

this is even cheaper though:

Well spotted . I didn't think any of the smaller 2000 range would be passive but there you go .

The Sapphire 2400 SILENT range is also fanless.

Hi,

I got the Asus GeForce 8500 GT 256MB DDR2 DVI (PCI-Express) installed fine and improved Vista rating from 3.2 to 4.6 but most importantly it's silent!

Thanks for the advice...
