Quietest GFX Card?

[isaacfok]

Quietest is Sapphire Trixx if you just buy the retail box version with respect to other retail version.

If modded with water cooling , any card can be the quietest as long as you use silent fans on the radiator.

Yep... I'm actually thinking about getting NZXT water-cooling for my card later half of the year. Heard they have a special bracket for GFX cards that makes it alot more hassle free to install water cooling.

It's either Toxic or twin frozr...

Never heard of Toxic before Sold at SLS?

From my experience, MSI twin frozr and lightning cooler very quiet and very effective.

I 2nd this.

Twin Frozr for the win!!

You sure is 300w? I run 2 of it and both max is 250w.

And you cant compare gpu power vs cpu at this era.

Power as in computing power or heat output? The latter can certainly be compared.

Look at the size of the heat sink on a 100-150W processor. Now compare it to the GPU's to get a sense of the fan speed requirement for both.

The GPU will be much noisier, for the same TDP, on average.
