Best fanless graphics card?
If I want a completely silent graphics card, then what should I buy?

You will be limited to RTX 3050 -class GPUs and similar or lower.

and a large tower cooler with no fans attached

Fans can be silent too if they don't spin too fast.

Can get a triple slot rtx4060, set the fans to minimum speed and it will be silent.

For what? That will mean buying a junk GPU. Just go build around a Ryzen 7xxx series CPU which all have onboard GPU.

RTX 3050 or AMD 6400 isn't going to be any better then modern iGPU already on flagship CPUs

You can make even a 3080 Ti run dead silent even when gaming. I do with both of mine and even gaming all day they don't even get above 70*C with the gpu fans at around 50%

My last post was a mess so I'm going to delete it and take a do-over. The strongest made as a ready made product is the KalmX 3050 previously mentioned by Ralf. Looks like you can buy it for $200[www.quietpc.com], but if you want the strongest possible buy a Raijintek Morpheous 8069 V.G.A. cooler[www.amazon.com] and put it on an RTX 3090 or an RX 6900 XT. The Morpheus Core II[www.amazon.com] on a 1080 ti might be worth considering too though, since I'm not sure if the 8069 is meant to be used fanless.

immerse the whole PC in mineral oil.

the best gpu stock sold as fully passively cooled.. is the

Palit 1650 ti KalmX
and after a LONG wait...
a succesor in the form of the
Palit 3050 KalmX has been released
(the 6gb version, thats over 20% slower than the 8gb version of the same card)

if you want more than that you are going to need to buy a pc case with a passive cooling solution build in.. and buy a gpu that has a tdp below what that case is ranked for.

something like that.... which is expensive.. and not readely available...

so yeah it IS possible to get a case that can cool down more potent gpu's... but those cases are usually very very expensive.. and pre-order only..,

something like the DB4 is more ready available... despite it's age.. but even with all the assesoires.. it's gpu cooling ability is just 80-ish watt..MAYBE you can get an heavy undervolten 4060 to run on that... but no guarantees..
