I have briefly used an FX5900 and it ran FEAR craptastically, but it came with one of those good looking Zalman VGA coolers so I don't know how loud or silent the stock cooling solutions are.

I am lucky enough to have kept my card from when I first purchased it. It is a 5800 Ultra and it seems these cards are extremely rare. When I first bought it for Doom 3 it worked okay but the noise drove me nuts. I was not too happy, but now that they are rare and even rare to find on E-Bay I am now much happier with it. It is very compatable with old games, yet still very powerful for more demanding titles - if you can put up with the noise.

I'd say, match it with teh almighty dragon orb and a vast array of older SCSI drives and you should be set for a real deafening retro computer experience 😁
