Passively cooled GPU

[g33zy]

Being much more into higher end cards and such, I have found myself with an extra system that i'll just be using for browsing, IM and that kinda stuff.

Since its built in a P150 its complete silence i'm looking for. I want to get a passively cooled that goes along with the silent concept.

I would love to get a card that doesn't need a power plug but I don't think thats going to happen.

What you guys think about this:

Looks pretty good. I use the Gigabyte X1300 that's passively cooled for work and have had no problems.

If you're not gaming why not just go with this?

Since I'm waiting for the dust to settle on DX10 cards I decided to go with a mid-range card and it should be fine if the case airflow is decent. Not real high-end, but reasonable $/perf.

I won't go with that because I don't want any sissy ass looking card in my system


The 7600 is a pretty nice option. I have a x1900 cf setup in my gaming rig so I think the nVidia may be a welcomed change back. Also, I LOVE the black pcb. Damn, its cheaper too! Might have to bite.
