| | New video card with variable speed fan I'm currently using an Nvidia 9600 GT. This card is good enough in terms of performance, but unfortunately the model I have doesn't have a variable speed fan and is very noisy. I'd like to replace it with something a little faster - maybe a 9800 GT or something comparable - and quieter. If anyone can recommend specific cards that have variable speed fans and are quiet when not stressed I will appreciate it. TIA |

| | There is also "Nvidia System Tools" which allows you to control fan speed settings, if you prefer to stick with "Nvid". I use it with my 480 along with "Realtemp 3.60" to keep my temps under check. Here's the link NVIDIA DRIVERS 6.06 As for an upgrade, you should be able to pick up a 9800GT for around $100, not sure what ATI cards go for these days but they to should have something descent for around the same $ mark. cheers |

| | Just wanted to thank everyone who replied to my question. I decided to buy a 5750 Radeon card with 1 gig GDDR5. That should perk things up and be quieter than my current card. In case anyone is interested the deal is still active at newegg.com here: Newegg.com - SAPPHIRE 100284L Radeon HD 5750 1GB 128-bit GDDR5 PCI Express 2.0 x16 HDCP Ready CrossFireX Support Video Card |
