Please chime in and give me your picks for best gaming card without a fan. I don't need to push the limits of the latest games - silence is the key. PCI Express is the format. Thanks.
ECS makes an 8800GT with a Accelero S1 aswell as the 9600GT. Look it up on Newegg. Although it would be cheaper to buy an 8800GT and an S1 and mount it yourself. The same could be said for the 8800GTS512, 9800GTX, 9800GTX+ or 9800GT. All should work flawlessly in a well-ventilated case in passive configuration.
no real budget since anything running without a fan is probably not going to be top end/top dollar. Just want to grab something with the best oomph without a fan.

well if cost isnt a problem, then why not get 2 4870x2's and water cool them?
on a more serious note, what do you plan on using the card for? if it's for an HTPC, you could get away with a passively cooled 9500GT. MSI makes one with some fancy heatpipe thing on it, and that particular card also has an HDMI port, which is ideal if this is for an HTPC.
