Hi Guys,

I want to get a quiet 4870 with the hsf pre-fitted what would you recommend? I was thinking the Asus Dark Night card looked pretty good.

Cheers jmhduck.

Mate has one, they are very quiet, even mid game when it gets hot you can bearly hear it.

Cool . Is it quiet in a quiet system? I'm a bit of a quietness fan.

Yes.

 

[jmhduck]

Yes.

Okay cool. So is the consensus that this is one of the quietiest 4870's?

yes

I have the Gainward 4870 1GB Golden Sample, and I think it's pretty quiet. On idle it's inaudible and at load I don't notice it

Cheers for the heads up. I would get that card but another £20 on top of the Asus is a bit too much I think...

 

[jamesgoss]

No problemo, but I agree, it's not worth another £20, I got it on special offer
