Well my old GF4 Ti4200 with silent Zalman heat pipe is showing its age since I just purchased Far Cry and I am in need for a new card. The only problem is that my wife is a noise freak and gets mad at me with the whirling of fans in the computer room. Yes she can hea it, I swear she must be part wolf/woman! Anyway I am in need for help fidning a new card. I really don't feel like dealing with any fancy mods although the Zalaman mod removing my fan was not too hard but I would prefer to buy something already good to go.. I see that Sapphire makes a silent 9600xt or 9800Pro. Gainward makes a 5700 silent card with dual DVI which looks nice but doesnt seem like much of an upgrade. I read that MSI's 5900xt runs pretty quiet. Any help with suggestions for a silent card without doing hefty mods. Price under $250 is preferable since I just sprung for a new Dell 20" 2001FP setting me back $800.

Regards

....and will probally be around 300 which is a little higher than your pricerange :(
 
Yeah that is exactly like something I would be interested in buying and I guess I could always swing an extra $50. Hmm..would just waiting a little bit longer be better? A silent 6800 would be great!

Get any video card you want, and mod your own HSF on it

Go to your local computer store and buy a decent sized (aluminum) CPU heatsink (copper would be too heavy for anything fairly large) and drill holes in the base and bolt it on!
