ok, I'll refrase:

Has anyone tried the NVS 420/450 with a GIGABYTE motherboard UD3R, and know if these are playing well together?

Or would you reccomend a GIGABYTE GPU for my needs  ;D


I just wanted (for someones future reference maybe) to let know that I've received my NVS450, which works very nicely with my x58 UD3R 2.0
temperatures is not overall higher than before (this is a fanless quad card) and the temp is about 60c for the GPU. According to HWmonitor that is.

And, my music studio just became even more silent 8)

(when not playing...  :P)

Hi

It sounds like it was a good move Kristoffer and seems to be the quiet option.  What is the temperature when you are playing games or some other program that puts it under stress ?

A game has never been near this computer (dedicated DAW) so I have no idea how to check it.

Is there any "stress test" in windows somehow?

As you can see, the only thing I use my GPU for is to have more than 2 screens :)

You could try Furmark or some similar stress program.

http://www.ozone3d.net/benchmarks/fur/

It will give you all the temperatures etc as it runs.
