Are there any fast but quiet Nvidia cards out there?
Using an ATI 4890 Vapor-X at the moment, but graphically I hate all the workarounds just to get it visually correct for video-making. However it is quiet compared to other cards I have used.
Outside of Watercooling, are there any quite but fast Nvidia cards (equal to 4890 at-least) out there? Cheers, MP

S!
Last quieter ones I used were 9900-series. The GTX280 was loud under load. But there can be these special versions with better cooling etc. floating around. |

As mention in another thread............
MSI N480GTX-M2D15 The fans not at all noisy and the temps are never over 75' http://www.msi.com/index.php?func=pr...0&prod_no=2040 I don't overclock and use the Thermaltake Level 10 case. System Air Cooling 120mmx1 1. Rear (exhaust) : 120 x 120 x 25 mm Red LED Fan,1300rpm,17dBA 140mmx1 2.

ATI is promising new and faster cards for second half 2010 ,a new chip codenamed Northern Islands, as stated by AMD CEO.
TSMC will ramp up process technology to 28 nm in Q4 2010, allowing chips running with lower TDP. It´s better to wait if you think of building a system for SOW. Oleg probably will release in the next months the system requirements for SOW.( well, someday he has to do it, right?) I don´t believe that SOW will not be optimized for ATI too.

Does that mean:
"I don't believe SoW will be optimised for ATI?" or "I do believe SoW will be optimised for ATI?" |

http://www.firingsquad.com/hardware/...ance/page3.asp Noise levels in excess of 53 decibels and runs hot Currently I'll have to fight through th graphic issues with the 4890 in IL2, as everything else is great. Thanks for the link though....cheers, MP

LOL
Ok you asked for advice, I gave it, you then point to a review which isn't anything to do with the hardware I have specified for you. What's the point of this thread ?? I have no problems running IL21946 with a MSI N480GTX-M2D15 No excessive noise and no hot temps. If you want to shove top end performance hardware into poorly constructed cheap cases with cheap PSU's the noise and temps could be a problem. Otherwise buy a 9800GTX+ With settings at max & water 4 between that and a ATI 48xx series maxed out water2, it pee's all over them in IL21946. (IMHO) Soz if I sound grumpy but ...............
