What's the most powerful single slot NVidia graphic card? Preferably not too loud.

I have an ATI 5770 for my HTPC, but have had no end of problems, and want to try an Nvidia alternative.
 
For htpc use the equivalent would be a gt 430 should eat up most htpc tasks, and it comes in fanless silent versions aswell. It's on par with hd5450 i would say.
 
I was hoping for something that oculd match a 5770, since I use it for gaming too.

That 260 looks worth investigating, if i can find one.
 
I just looked at some youtube videos about fitting waterblocks. I hadn't realised just how thin they'd be. Unfortunately the fiddliness is a bit much for me, especially considering building the rest of the system with the risk of spillage if you don't know what you're doing (like me).

I haven't found that 260 Razor, but I did find a single slot 460 version - for £180. I'll keep looking.
