I have just bought a new computer case and I have found that I need low profile video card to fit in it. Are there any good low profile card around? I don't do a lot of gaming but want the ability to play games as my sons use my computer for games. I was planning on an 8600 card or something in $100 to $200 range. I don't really mind if it is Nvidia or ATI but I have never owned an ATI card before. :help:

679195 2008-06-17 04:37:00 My PCIe ATi 3450 graphics card is low profile, it even came with a bracket, and the VGA plug is removable. It's also a DirectX10 card.

We can arrange a swap for an 8800GTX... :D

679197 2008-06-17 09:38:00 It is a PCI-E and I wouldn't undersell myself if I had plenty of money. The case I bought is 147 mm X 410 mm X 360 mm. GaryW (10329)
679198 2008-06-17 13:30:00 The only low profile video cards I have been able to find are:
:xmouth: Albatron 8600GT 256MB DDR3 Low Profile
:illogical WINFAST PX8500 GT 256MB DVI+HDMI+SPDIF PCI-E CARD HEATPIPE LOW PROFILE
:horrified Gigabyte ATI RX24T256H HD 2400 XT PCI-E x16 256MB GDDR3 Low prof
:groan: Powercolor X1550-256/64DDR2 Video Card, Radeon X1550, 256MB, DDR2, PCIe-16, TV out, DVI, Low profile
All of these cards are easily in my price range but I am not sure which of these will be the best for me.
