I myself am more interested in passively cooled graphics cards... so I
wonder what the future will bring.

I will probably buy my next computer in the year 2016.

I myself have such an annimule, a once was passively cooled graphics card.

I have a 'Quiet case', everything BUT the graphics card said it runs fairly cool. The temp sensor on the vid card read hotter then anything else in the PC that was capable of being monitored.

Since this build is pretty quiet I took the chance and located an OLD CPU that had a 40mm fan attached, think it was an old amd 450mhz, and undid the fan to mount on the heatsink of the GPU.
The Temp Monitoring utility showed a 10 degree Celsius, about 14F (I think), drop and the fan is running in 'slow' mode. I'll take that temp drop.
