Does anyone know what the best passively cooled ATI HD 5 series card is? The best one I can find is the 5450..

I'm looking at one for my HTPC as I've found out my board can't passthrough DTS HD audio to my amp. After thinking about it, I'd like a decent one so that I can play PES and other games etc on my TV properly! I need it passive otherwise it will be too load when I'm watching films.

Ta! :)
 
I'm going to go for the 5670.. Gave up on the passive idea and am hoping the fan on the 5670 won't be too loud while I'm watching films! Seems a good enough little card for me to use on my TV, I've got my main PC for gaming anyway so not too bothered, as long as it can play PES! :)

Any idea which one is the quietest.. XFX or Powercolor? The PowerColor fan looks better..
