(10/10)
Took a bit of a deep breath before ordering this. I mistrust cards with chunky fans, but I needed to replace an elderly card for Photoshop use. This one is *very* quiet - I can't tell any noise increase from the PC at all - and it ticks all the boxes for Photoshop use, allows full use of the 1 GB memory and lets PS use the OpenGL features in full.
