Yes, the memory speed is rather crucial for madVR. DDR3 cards don't fare too well.

Read some reviews on Fan noise. I'm not worried about fans as most are fine, but I did have a Low Profile card for about a month before it hit the bin as it's tiny twin fans sounded like a turbine engine at high speed!

The reviews on Newegg for this card are not good concerning fan noise.
Also note that it is "double wide" (takes up two slots width).

I was reading another thread on this site, and it linked to the madVR thread in Dec 2012, where you gave some images that compared various chroma upscaling and BiCubic75 looked the best. Any advantage to using MN instead ?

I suggested Mitchell-Netravali because you were using SoftCubic. MN has the least amount of ringing of any of the "cheap" scaling algorithms while retaining reasonably good sharpness. (SC has almost no ringing, but is very soft, and soft scaling tends to desaturate chroma)
Bicubic 75 is the closest thing to the more demanding scaling algorithms like Lanczos or Jinc, but does introduce some ringing compared to MN or SC. (though it's generally not an issue)
