Silent nVidia 400 or 500 Series with HDMI (not mini)

[nesnfsn]

Multi-booting a variety of OS's and looking for nVidia based Graphics Video Card, silent (fanless) and full HDMI (not mini HDMI port).

Considering Sparkle's 450 fanless, but it has mini HDMI port (http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16814187129).

Anyone have experience with a relatively new fanless nVidia graphics video card who can provide guidance?

it will be hard for you to find a new gfx card with a large-HDMi port.

most of the manufacturers have switched to mini-ports as they use less gold in the plating process.

your best bet is to get a used card (6months old)

Just get a mini HDMI to HDMI adapter/lead.

I think any card that is mini HDMI comes with a mini HDMI to HDMI adapter anyway, don't quote me on it though but i'm sure they do.

Thanks for the advice as to suitability of current vs. 6 mo. old cards based upon manufacturers moving to miniHDMI to save on gold costs. Any suggestions for gfx cards per my initial post inquiry?

low profile cards are normally fanless - have you looked in that direction?
