Re: Best low profile video cards available (March 2018)

Just throwing another option out there for people... I stumbled across this while trying to build the smallest portable system (with a decent gpu) to put in my luggage on trips. The Lenovo M910x Tiny: 7.05" X 7.20" X 1.36" 179mm X 182.9mm X 34.5mm 2x ddr4 sodimm, 2x m.2 nvme/sata ssd,...

Re: Best low profile video cards available (March 2017)

RX 550 is in stock at newegg: https://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16814137148 Unfortunately... it's a 2 slot card. Also slightly worse than the 750ti. It does come with a low profile bracket though. That said, there are a ton of 1030 cards at newegg now, which are both single slot/l...

Re: Best low profile video cards available (January 2017)

I just found this: https://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16814105067 It's apparently been out for awhile, and based on the 460... expensive though, and I have no idea what gaming performance would be like. Interestingly the pins are only x8 (at least from the pictures). Not sure what ...

Re: Best low profile video cards available (January 2017)

And now these two: https://www.msi.com/Graphics-card/Radeon-RX-460-4GT-LP.html https://www.msi.com/Graphics-card/Radeon-RX-460-2GT-LP.html At least with these you can probably modify them to use a single slot cooler... dunno how much thermal throttling you'd end up with, but if you have to have a si...

Still dual slot, unfortunately... but way better cooling probably.

Re: Best low profile video cards available (March 2015)

I don't know how you keep your 750tis going with that tiny little quadro heatsink/fan. Even with the beefier heatsink on my mod, I can't keep the GPU from thermal throttling at 80c...seeling your unigine score, I'm pretty sure your 750ti is being throttled far more than mine....my Unigine Valley sc...

Re: Best low profile video cards available (March 2015)

So, I got the PNY Quadro 600 today (it was still in the mailbox from yesterday) and realized the heatsink was just WAY too small. It was about the size of an oreo cookie (once removed from the shroud), and weighed about as much...sure It would fit the mounting holes, but... On a lark, I repasted th...

Re: Best low profile video cards available (September 2014)

Just so everyone knows, the Galaxy GTX750 Ti GC Slim 2GB (dual slot cooler) works fine with a single slot cooler, although finding standalone vga coolers seems to be impossible... and even more so for this card because the 4 screws holding the cooler are in the shape of a rectangle and not a square....
