Quietest 6800GT?

[lmaro]

Which brand of 6800GT has the quietest stock fan? I don't want an aftermarket cooler because this will instantly void the warranty.

There was already a thread about this at anandtech, but most posts were about aftermarket coolers.

I'm probably thinking that LeadTek 6800GT PCI-E is quietest, can anyone confirm?

Also: The Leadtek is the only PCI-E 6800GT that only supports OpenGL 1.5. Is OpenGL 2.0 going to be necessary for next year's games?

Lol, that's a none issue, they all support the same level's of OpenGL, its just newegg doesnt know what they are doing and puts different ones for different things for some reason.

Great. That's what I suspected. I think I'll go with the Leadtek 6800GT PCI-E when I buy my parts.

I have the AGP version, but it's the same cooling solution. Their cooling system rivals the NVSilencer's performance. It's just an amazingly beautiful chunk of copper that goes great with my XP-90C

Galaxy 6800 Line has as stock the Artic Cooler on them and they are quiet. Very quiet and run at really low temps aswell.

Where is a good web site I can look at these cards for purchase. I didn't see them on NewEgg.
