Fastest video card (without fan)?

[nobody]

Archived from groups: alt.comp.hardware.overclocking.amd (More info?)

I'm trying to keep my nearly-silent system, well, nearly-silent. I'm
looking to upgrade my GeForce 440 with a faster card that can play
Half-life and Doom3 well, but looking for something quiet, preferably
without a fan.

Any experinces out there?

Athlon 2400+XP, 512MB.

Playing them without a fan on the video card will be doable, but a card
that will play them *well* (lots of eye-candy turned on, high framerates,
etc.) without a fan is going to be pretty tough - at least for D3.
Half-life will probably be easy, but HL2 might be a different matter.

I have a VGA Silencer on my 9800Pro and it barely makes a sound.
