Gainward Silent Ultra FX5700

GainWard GeForce FX 5700 256MB SilentFX ULTRA/980 XP, HEATPIPE ( FANLESS ) COLLING, DUAL DVI, VIDEO IN.

Would this be the ultimate HTPC card (for now?)

I have seen these for reduced price on the net. Apparently they didn't sell well, as they are discontinued. Has anyone used one? I'm thinking of getting a pair. Oh, did I mention VIVO and (2) DVI ports?

Info can be found here:

Re: Gainward Silent Ultra FX5700

Seems real similar to my 680, except the clocks are running nearly twice as fast, and mine just has a big honking heat sink...no fan or heat pipe.

I saw it for $158.00...is that in line with what you've seen?

Yeah. They're getting scarce, so I think I might lose out if I wait very long.
