I bought some midrange AMD graphics card a few years back, picked for idle wattage, linux support and quiet cooling.

The card isn't silent, but it's quieter than the high end, low wattage PSU fan, which is needed to dissipate heat from everything else.

Anyway, eliminating the video card fan would probably make my desktop louder, which was counterintuitive to me at the time.

(The setup is extremely quiet, FWIW.)
