Noisiest card I have owned was the built by ATI X800XL. It's the only video card I have actually bought a 3rd party HSF for because it was too noisy. Had to spend 40 bucks extra for a Zalman HSF. Thanks ATI, you cheap bastages.

GeForce FX 5800 Ultra is by far the noisiest video card I've ever had the displeasure of listening to.

 

[Mr. Stryker]

The loudest video card was the passively-cooled Gigabyte 7600GT.

From personal experience, my 6600GT was pretty horrendous thinking back.

my 5700 Ultra was pretty loud, but I think the 5800 Ultra had it beat.

Yeah our 5800 Ultra page has the phrase: "Notoriously Loud" written in the Noise Level field.
