quiet + dual monitor

[nate313]

please help!

I need an ATI crossfire card for my digital audio pc/ general home use.

It needs to be quiet (quiet fan or fanless) and support dual monitors

I do some gaming but not much

mb- p5q-deluxe
cpu- intel q9550
psu- corsair 520HX
ram- 4gb (2x2gb) g.skill ddr2 800
hd- 2 x 320gb western digital 7200 16cache sata2
case-p182

thanks

should be able to find a 46XX card for cheap. I do recall seeing a passively cooled one on newegg.

I'd agree that a HD4670 would probably be your best bet, all out of stock though at newegg. Didn't see a passively cooled one, but they should be very quiet with their low heat sig. None supply the crossfire bridge, that's going to be an extra.

+1 to the 46xx crowd. The 4670 will let you game some though, so you might want to set your sight on that one

Now, if you want a quiet overall system, watch/hear carefully the Case fans. They usually are the loudiest component around, after the CPU fan under load

Esop!
