Passive cooled Graphics Card
I am currently using the onboard graphics on my GIGABYTE H370 HD3 motherboard however an application I use for working on large image files needs a dedicated graphics card so I was wondering if anyone has recommendations for a passively cooled Graphics Card. I don't play games and ideally don't want to spend too much money on it. Thanks in advance
Re: Passive cooled Graphics Card
Look at a GT 1030, there are passive versions, both Gigabyte and MSI manufacture one. For basic use this would be my recommendation, and they can be picked up for about £75 delivered.
You can look at passive GTX 1650 models, but the price is going to be near double that
Here's a full break down of what's available, from worst to best

Re: Passive cooled Graphics Card
I think we need to know what software you are using that requires a graphics card to give properly good advice.
Also, do you really require a passive card? A good card will turn the fans off when not needed anyway which is most of the time, so the fans only come on when you do something that would take a truly passive card ages.
Then there is the question of what PSU you have, and whether it has a PCIe power connector.
