    Can anyone recommend a PCI-E graphics card with a passive cooler?

    It doesnt have to be the most powerful card on the block, but I do need a fanless solution - I've used Google but haven't found anything on sale in the UK yet ..

    Cheers,

    Olly

    Only thing I know of would be the 6200TC's. Dunno if they're for sale yet, and I believe they're pretty shite cards for any serious use, but they're passively cooled....

    I've got good news for you... ;)

    GeCube have an X700 Pro that is cooled passively....

    I managed to snap the images while I was in a high-class Soho, London restaurant for dinner with some of GeCube's marketing department from Taiwan while they were on a visit over to the UK - the things I have to do for you guys ;)

    I will try and get hold of a review sample if possible. :)

    it's no heavier than a 9800 XT with its stock cooler iirc

    I can't remember exactly, but I seem to have February in my head - I will try and find out.

    Thanks for the input everyone - just thought yo might be interestded to know I finally found something suitable (I hope), the Gigabyte NX66T128VP.

    Its a 6600GT card with a passive heatsink, I can't find any reviews yet, but I guess if Gigabyte make it it can't be too bad ....
