I bought this card to go with a core 2 duo to replace an aging 8600 GT silent. Objective: to run diablo 3. Mission accomplished, with details thoroughly! (Tested on the beta at this hour) Goal 2: silence. Mission accomplished the well. this card is inaudible. I have a fan in addition to the, and I do mean almost none. I'm glad. it is a very good buy, value for money. My choice was guided by the choixpc.com site that advised this for its quiet operation. For perf, there's better on, but I do not need. no need to change the power supply either! The card comes with DVI HDMI adapter and an adapter for the power supply of the card if your PSU is old. a driver cd, and some paper not very useful (assembly instructions very succinctly). The menu is very well protected and packaged. be sure to remove all the caches on the card!
