thinking about upgrading GPU and silencing my PC.
Right now I have a R9 280, which get's pretty loud at times.
So I saw this passive Palit GTX 1050 Ti KalmX, which could be a suitable replacement.

Goal is to play games like Deus Ex Human Revolution, Mass Effect Andromeda, Witcher 3 at reasonable frame rates and graphics quality on a 1920x1200-display.

Thanks in advance!

Best regards,
Sebastian

Yes, but no. If you are willing to pay for the more expensive cards like Gigabyte Xtreme Gaming or Asus Strix or such, you would get a card with such a good cooling solution that you would never hear it.

No, my monitor supports a resolution of 1920x1200, at which I am playing at. It should be 16:10.
It's a Samsung SyncMaster 2443 FW if you want to check it out (it is quite old though).

GTX 1050 TI shoudl give you reasonable frame rates but i won't expect it to stay above 60FPS all the time, unless you lower the settings.

But as far as I can see there is no passive cooling GTX card available above the 1050 Ti, right? So I only have the choice of sacrificing noice reduction to get greater performance, correct?

I personally have the Gigabyte GTX 1070 Xtreme gaming, the fans doesn't spin before the card hits 50 C, and even then i cannot hear them. Even under long torture test fans never go above 45-50% speed, so they are basically silent.
