If you're looking for a quiet card to keep at stock speeds, you can't do much better than this, especially for the price. So far so good

Runs everything I can throw at it on max settings. I haven't found the fan noise to be an issue at all. I mean i can't even hear it in my Gigabyte auora case. Website says it needs 450 watts of power to run but I have it hooked up to a cool master extreme power suppply that only puts out 430 watts. Upgraded from a 6800gs and my framerate in star wars empire at war jumped from 40 to around 100 fps.
