Hey [H]. I'm working on a new Q6600 build and am looking for a quiet, cheap video card as just a crutch for my mobo. And I'm talking stock quiet, not something I'd have to replace.

I only really want the power of, say...a 8400GS. I MAY do -light- gaming in the future, so performance isn't an issue. I just want it to be silent and have enough power to offload the CPU/mobo.

It'd be a great plus if it were also energy efficient (aka downclocking itself/using less power when doing basic tasks).

Thanks!

the gigabyte hd 3850 512mb card has azalman vf700 on it from factory. runs a alower core speed of 300 when doing 2d. powers up to normal level for 3d. sound is always the same as fan remains constant. card is $199 on newegg. I score over 17000 3dmark06 crossfire.
