<p>Would it be too noisy to get graphics cards in the new PCs for
our computer lab?<br>
</p>
<p>We have a room with 14 PCs in it. We use the room for hands-on
classes sometimes, but most of the time the room is open for
patrons to use the computers. I want to get new computers for this
room. I'm thinking about getting graphics cards in them for use
with Photoshop (we're going to have that for a couple of months
for a few classes) and possibly other graphics-intensive things in
the future. However, I'm worried that the graphics cards will
generate too much noise. (The computers in there now just have a
graphics adapter on the motherboard.)<br>
<br>
The room is 17.5 x 30 feet; the ceiling is 10 feet high. What I
hear when I walk in there now is a slight hum from some sort of
fan or air purifier on the floor. According to some app I found,
the sound in that room right now is 43-45 decibels, the same as in
my office.<br>
<br>
I'm thinking of getting the AMD Radeon Pro WX 3100 or the Quadro
T1000.</p>
<p>I think it'll probably be ok, but it would be interesting to know
about your thoughts or experiences.<br>
