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. |

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?" |

Well I was trying to say that SOW will be optimized for ATI too.

That's what I thought you meant, but the double-negative got me...
I hope you are correct, as I have a nice ATI card sitting idle simply because I can't use it properly for IL-2. |

I have a 5870 and I dont change it for nothing , no corrupted words in IL-2 ,perfect mode...
Just waiting to SOW:BOB, I think this Graphic card can handle it |

This could be wrong (and is my opinion only) but ATI has always seemed to have more problems with OpenGL games than DirectX games. Given that Storm of War will be DirectX natively... one would hope that the problems that we've had recently with IL-2 will be a thing of the past.
