How much noise he's prepared to put up with is very much personal preference and I doubt any of us can strongly recommend the perfect HTPC gaming card without that knowledge. The only real emphasis we have so far is HTPC (so typically quiet and in a cramped mATX case), and casual gaming, not Crysis 5 running at 120Hz on ubermax detail settings
