Passively-Cooled / Fanless GPUs

[SlentThndr]

Does anyone know of a dead-silent GPU that's worked with OS X?

Mine also needs to be small... less than 7.8 inches... but please post about larger cards too because I think it's an interesting question.

Here's an example of the sort of thing I'm looking into:

This one is Pascal though so not supported yet? Any older ones in a similar vein?

If you can find one, Zotac made a GT 630 that was small and passively cooled. This card works with Apple's built-in drivers or Nvidia web drivers.

Here are a few that should work in macOS with a minimum of effort - all are fanless and shorter than 7.8":

Cool, thanks guys! Will those definitely be faster than the integrated graphics on a modern mini-ITX board?

Also what about this card?

If you can wait for the nVidia drivers, this would be a better option:
