What is the most powerful fanless vga card on the market today?

[dragontales]

I want to replace my Ti4200 video card because the fan is just too noisy for me. I have been doing some research and have found this Sapphire card to be pretty decent and no fan.

Does anyone know which fanless video card is the most powerful on the market? I am not too much into games. I occasionly play some GTA or NFS.

THanks.

6800GT

i havent seen any fanless ultras or hi end radeons yet so that would be your best bet.

6800: http://www2.newegg.com/Product/Product.asp?Item=N82E16814125142

X800: http://www2.newegg.com/Product/Product.asp?Item=N82E16814125171

PCI Express has X800XL: http://www2.newegg.com/Product/Product.asp?Item=N82E16814125174

If you inspect the images the 6800 GT does indeed have a fan on the bottom portion of the heatsink.

That most definitely has a fan on the other side.

Well i believe its the 6600GT by Gigabyte i got a Gigabyte 6600 Turbo force edition it uses two huge heat sink and silent pipelines to cool it down, it does not use a fan at all.

not even being a smartass because didn't gainward release a 6800ultra to retail that had waterblocks already on it? Availability might be another question, but I still think they did it...or maybe they just showed it off then never produced it.

I'm not sure about Gainward. I know BFG released an AGP 6800 Ultra with water block built on... and I know it at least used to be in stock in some e-tailers. I'll bet they're harder to find now though...
