I've bought many graphics cards over the years and every time one came with a fan it's been noisy and I've replaced it with an aftermarket cooler with a bigger heatsink, and either a bigger fan(s) or no fan. People have different standards of noisy. If everyone was as demanding as me they wouldn't have considered using an XBox as a media player! The pictures of these cards are enough for me, I'm sticking to my assumption that if I bought a GT220 I'd have to budget for either getting a specialist model with silent cooler, or replacing the cooler myself. > Maybe a better idea is to not assume anything at all, but rather > actually look up real life data or just buy one and see for yourself > (as I did).

The results don't give the right information to determine how well a card can handle 1080i. _______________________________________________ vdr mailing list vdr@xxxxxxxxxxx http://www.linuxtv.org/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/vdr
