Gigabyte GV-RX70P256V X700 PRO Silent Videocard @ PCStats

“Sporting the ATi Radeon X700 PRO GPU and 256MB of memory, the GV-RX70P256V’s most obvious feature is the complete absence of any sort of noisy active cooling solution. Instead, the GV-RX70P256V runs a single heatpipe from the front heatsink to the pair of massive heatsinks on the back of the card, Zalman style. This heatpipe distributes the heat from the GPU equally across all heatsink surfaces. This is one of the first commercial based on a relatively advanced GPU that we’ve seen forgo any type of fan-cooling solution, and it might well endear ATi to gamers who value a quiet PC system.”
