If you are looking for silence as well as performance, then Sapphire's HD3850 Ultimate is right up your street, as it's one of the fastest silent cards around, capable of playing most of the current crop of games.

The problem facing the card is that having a larger-than 512MiB framebuffer on a mid-range SKU doesn't make all that much performance sense, no matter how good it looks on the box. The Sapphire HD 3850 1GiB's framebuffer comes at too-high a cost, but the HD 3870 ULTIMATE is a good, sensible choice for a near-silent gaming card that will have framerates purring along at 1,680x1,050.

Sapphire has done a good job with the HD 3850 and it clearly is deserving of the Ultimate name that it carries. The overclocked offering does give it a boost in performance at some stages, and not so much at others. There’s no doubt that there are a number of people who would prefer to have a completely silent card and sacrifice a few FPS over having something with a fan.
