Another one that isn't passive, bah!

A passive 5770 would be quite a feat to achieve, I'm not suprised there aren't any yet.

The passive part would be almost entirely pointless anyway, as you'd certainly need some damn good airflow through the case to remove what will end up being a lot of hot air... and the only realistic way to do that is to use fans.

Not so bad for the low end cards given how little heat they produce anyway, but it quickly becomes a bigger issue as the power rises.

There are a few passive 5750s. However they're by Club3D and Powercolor, two manufacturers I have no trust for. I fear my hopes that Sapphire or - preferably - XFX will make a passive 5750 will be dashed.

There are 4 120mm fans permanently running between 500-700rpm in my case. I'm confident a passive 5750 would run within safe temperatures.

It probably would, but if silence is that much of an issue and you're happy getting your own fans, then why not just buy a passive cooler and fit it yourself? That way it's tailored for your machine (height, depth, heatsink on the front or around the back, etc.

Regardless, this isn't the sort of card aimed at the passive crowd, and even if it were, you've just complained about PowerColor anyway. :\
