Need a low profile GFX card

Post by Doombrain »

Oh, hi.

I have this Dell 3.2P4, 100g-esata, 2gig RAM low profile 'mini' pc. I've just installed Vista Business on it but would also like to play a few games from time to time.

Does anyone know of a cheap low profile DX10 PCI-e card?

I found this at Overclockers UK;

now is it me, or would that be low profile if i swapped the plate and moved/removed the VGA port?

Yep that works. You can also fashion or find a second plate and re-route the vga port to a second slot. We did that for some machines at work with similar ATI cards.

You can also check some of the nvidia quadro lower end cards. They do low-profile versions of those for business uses and they crank out acceptable frame rates in some models.
