Lowest power consumption?

[Greatone123]

I know most of the posts are about the absolute most power or the best bang for buck... but I am turning a computer into a server and was wondering what would the be the best video card for the job? I'm going for the LOWEST power usage possible... the server won't be power hungry so I'm trying to stay as low as possible.


I know getting a board with an IGP would probably be the lowest solution... but I'm trying not to have to rebuild the server...


Right now it has a ATI x800 Pro.. just cause I had that laying around... but I'd like to swap that out for something more efficient...and obviously graphics do not matter...


Current Hardware:
Xeon x3210 @ stock speeds
8GB DDR2 800
GA-P35-DS3L
x800 Pro PCI-E x16
40GB + 250GB HDDs
Ubuntu x64
Antec EarthWatts 380w PSU


Server Jobs:

3x COD4 Dedicated Servers
3x B3 Admin Bots
F@H
250GB file storage


Anything I can do to cut operating costs I'm gonna try... and I'm also guessing removing the x800 would also reduce heat... which is also a plus

Just out of curiosity, if your computer is becoming a server, why does it need a graphics card? Are you still using it as a computer?

If you aren't, find a board with on board graphics....

Get the cheapest PCI-E video card you can find. preferably with a passive heat-sink.
