I'm about ready for a new system, and I'd like it to be as quiet as possible. I like the look of this spec
but would like to swap out for a passive graphics card to reduce noise. Any ideas? I have found a few different makes, not sure of their relative merits though.
Gigabyte 8600GTS
ASUS 8600GT
MSI RX2600XT
XFX 8600GT

I will be using mainly for photo and video work, not games. Is any one of these cards better than the others? Will they all fit in a Sonata III case?

Cheers
 
8600GTS is the fastest card out of those for games.

I'd say take the 2600XT for it's video decoding abilities though. :)
 
Thanks. Wasn't sure where the 2600 fitted in the 8600 line-up. I think it's a bit smaller than the others too which will help!
