While the GeForce 6800-series of graphics chips is generally considered as a one that consumes loads of power, some makers of graphics cards prepare versions of their products based on the GeForce 6800 graphics processing unit with passive cooling, something that so far has been a prerogative of Powered by ATI graphics cards.

Gigabyte Technology, a well-known maker of graphics cards and mainboards, recently started to sell its GV-N68128DH graphics card that is based on the GeForce 6800 graphics processor, is equipped with 128MB of GDDR3 memory and cooled down by a cooler that does not require any additional fans that cause noise and, because of large sizes, does not allow to install add-in cards into slots near AGP. Gigabyte’s latest offering is probably one of the most compact and silent GeForce 6800-based solutions.
