Hello there,

Can anyone advice me on a new graphic card?
At the moment I'm having... GF 7200GS. It was suppose to be temporary only for couple of days till I was waiting for a replacement of the faulty 8800GT. I got the money back but never bought a new card... And that was 14 months ago...

The only reason I stayed so long with this card is because it has passive cooling. I really enjoy the silence now so the new card has to be fan-less. 2x DVI is the other "must have" thing
I'm not particulary bothered if it's ATI or nVidia as long it works properly with 2 TFTs (1280x1024), TV from time to time and runs GW with descent and playable FPS. Apart from GW I don't play anything else, so I'm not looking for a $400 beast which has 150fps in Crysis. GW will be the most demanding software for the card
At the moment that 7200GS is real bottleneck for the system, rest of the important stuff is Intel Quad Core + 2GB OCZ DDR2. Everything running on XP, not moving to Vista

Well - i'm no expert but you are never going to be able to play crysis with 150 fps on a graphics card with no fans :P - unless you go water cooling or phase change but that costs a bomb.

However, if all you do is play GW the 8600 should do fine.
