Do you have a mobo that supports PCie 2.0?
Do you have enough airflow in your case?
 
VGA cards without a fan can get very hot, if you do not have enough airflow in your computer case.
 
What kind of mobo do you own?
 
To answer your question, I (we) need to know more information about your system.

Hi Ron,

Actually, I did give the specific model "ZOTAC ZT-95TES2P-HSL", but
your
questions are valid. The reason I need a video card is because the video on
the motherboard does not give as crisp a display. I have a 22 inch LCD
running at 1600x1200 display. With the DVI output from the video card, the
display is VERY crisp. The video RAM on my old video card failed.

The reason I focused in on the ZOTAC ZT-95TES2p-HSL is because the customer
reviews said it ran cool, and it does not have a fan. I also want a card
that would do well with video processing, but I suspect that almost any
modern card would do so. I am open to recommendations for other cards as
long as there is no fan and it fits a PCIE x16 slot.
