do not know what to make of these green edition graphics cards. Seems more like a niche marketing plot than anything else to be honest.

The 9600 GT Green Edition cards are based off a 55nm G94 graphics core, and of course have reduced clock speeds, to result to a better energy-efficiency. Gigabyte is readying its first accelerator based on this core, the GV-N96TSL-1GI.
The cooler used on the card will be referred to as "Silent Cell", and consists of a central GPU contact block from which heatpipes emerge, conveying heat to an aluminum fin array that spans across the full length of the card. Gigabyte mounts 1 GB of GDDR3 across a 256-bit wide bus on the PCB. Well, I;m sure we'll stub,le into them at CeBIT on display.
I'm just trying to figure out what the heck passive cooling has to do with a card being 'green'.
