Please Recommend Video Card

[Charlie Half]

I am using BI headless with a HP Pavilion Elite (HP Pavilion Elite HPE-170f Desktop PC Product Specifications | HP® Customer Support).
The Nvidia GeForce 260 really puts out the heat, and sucks power. I would like to replace the video card with something that sucks less power, and puts out less heat. Any suggestion?

Thanks,

Charlie

you should not be using any video card....you should upgrade to a second generation or higher i5 that has quicksync support and use intel hd...your entire system is a power hog..

That's what I thought. Works great, but who needs a desktop hair dryer in the summer?

youll save more money by upgrading...give that hair dryer away to someone who will use it a few hours a day..
