I currently run an X850XTPE gfx card in my shuttle SN25P (with Opty @ 3Ghz).
With news of current price drops I feel its time to upgrade it, but:
1: noise is of concern to me, so dont want a card that sounds like a vacuum when under load.
2: idealy i want a single slot cooler on the card, this is not as important as the noise requirement though.
3: I don't fancy having to pay out £300+, so idealy on the look out for a card of Members market.
4: I will want to run native res (where possible) , so thats 1280x1024 for my 19" screen - decent FPS would be nice.
Your advice most welcome, but pls pls pls do not trash this thread as I have run both ATI and Nvidia from years and like both sides of the fence a few FPS either way is not important to me as meeting the real requirements.
If you have no advice as to what to buy, but know what NOT - thats also useful too me.
Thanks in advance
