GIGABYTE GV N98TSL THE LEAST NOISY GPU

High end graphic cards are easily the noisiest part in any PC. They generate a lot of heat and are usually cooled by high-rpm fans which will generate enough noise to make your speakers inaudible. Fan-less graphic cards are available, but usually they don’t deliver good performance.

Well, it seems the situation has changed. Gigabyte has introduced a fanless graphic card - GV-N98TSL- that delivers reasonably good performance at an affordable price. The card comes with a Silent Cell heat pipe system that is capable of keeping it cool as it runs intensive graphics.

GV-N98TSL is definitely not the best performer from Gigabyte, but it is good enough to decode a 1080p Blu-ray movie at absolute silence.
