Need suggestions for a video card

#1

So after dealing with frame drop issue, I got an Nvidia GT430 which totally fixed the issue. But the fan on the card so loud. Can anyone suggest another card?

See my signature line. This card is totally silent... but will not fit in a low-profile case.

There are a few gt430 models that are fanless... You may want to try out one of those. can't comment how well they work though. I personally use the onboard graphics from a 3 year old motherboard... And I don't any stuttering.

This is what I use for testing.

Personally I use the integrated GPU from my i3.
