Hello,

I’m after a quite GPU for my HTPC, it’ll be outputting at 1080p and needs to pass-through the Audio HD codec’s (I think that narrows the choice to ATI?).

It will be going into a Antec Fusion case (not sure if that narrows the field due to the size?)

I guess i’m looking at a 5450, but if i wanted to do a little gaming would any of the more powerful options fit and be quite enough?

Thanks
 
5670 fits just fine in the fusion case - that's what I have. V quiet too even though it does have a fan vs the passive 5450s.
 
I was gonna recommend 5670, but have just looked at the price and it seem the ridiculous price it was at became more ridiculous....Sapphire ATI Radeon HD 5670 512MB price rised from around £65 in the pass to £75. Considering the card is slower than a 4770/9800GT for gaming, the price level simply seem too high.
