For this type of build, you will also need to buy a smaller-sized GPU that will fit in your build while offering you enough power to push FPS in games. These smaller-sized GPUs will not be as strong as their chunkier brothers, but when building in a small case stressing out the GPU with loads will increase temperatures which are your worst enemy in this situation.
You will also most likely have to underclock your GPU instead of overclocking it to maintain the best temperatures for safe operation. Do not get discouraged however because once again, considering the use case of these specialized builds, these low-profile GPUs will still be able to handle the light loads you will throw at them.
Since we got that out of the way let us look at what are the best low-profile graphic cards you can put in your small PC builds!
When looking at your choices of low-profile GPUs the first question you should be asking yourself is what exactly do you expect the GPU to be able to handle.
If you want to do office work but still be able to do some gaming then you definitely need to go for the or the GPUs. These graphics cards, although small, will be able to power through your games and deliver a respectable experience. If you know you will be doing only light gaming that really does not need that much computational power then the Ti is a better fit for your build.
Think long and hard about your use case because the higher you go in the chain looking for more FPS, the higher the prices will climb! Chris is a passionate gamer, streamer and PC tech enthusiast. The PC peripheral market has a special place in his heart, as there are few enthusiast-grade products that he has not tried, and even fewer products he has not researched already. Overall, Chris is a BIG nerd and he is absolutely proud of it! It is getting older but is still in production because of its low-profile form factor and incredibly low power consumption.
This is perfect for office computers and for any basic video output. At mm in length, mm in height, and 40mm in width, it should fit into most, if not all, ITX cases. The power draw is also much higher than some of the other picks on this article, but the performance is on another level. You might even go higher than that in competitive titles.
Of course, it also comes with a heftier price tag. Keep that in mind. So, which one of these four should you get? It provides the best performance for a low-profile GPU, even though it is a dual-slot card. How fps i will get ….? I have Intel Core i 3.
Did you count Radeon WX for workstation? You could create a post for GPU Computing as well. It could be great for IA enthusiast. They came with onboard graphic cards. One is used in the living rooms TV lowboard 10cm height for PC, just perfectly fits and one is used as working PC in the workroom. This card was waste of money in terms of performance, albeit it was very cheap. As i also installed a large diaphragm microphone in the working room, I had to chose a fanless graphics card.
These small fans make a lot of noise for the high sensitivity microphone , even if the graphic card is not fully utilized. The GT passively cooled is a good tradeoff in this case, but it also throttles a little bit during gaming to prevent overheating. Hi Akshat. The specific models that I would recommend are:. You can get any one of them based on the availability in your area or region. Hi Mr.
Could you please recommend me good a video card for an upgrade? Here are the current PC specs. It will be quite a worthy upgrade over the GeForce I know that ti runs well on that combination, The is similar on power usage but i am unsure. Thanks in advance. It has only W. So i need to change PSU to W. Can I take one from other HP Compaq or is it inpossible? You need the same size PSU.
It would look ugly to have one sticking out, but that would be acceptable if it allowed an upgrade. In hindsight I vastly prefer AMD over Nvidia, which preference in addition to my dimensional constraints is presenting problems.
Please advise on the best possible card for these difficult dimensions. The best compact low profile graphics card you can get is the GeForce GT The specific models I would like to suggest are:. Hi Akshat, thank you for the great informative site. I would appreciate your help I have an office Dell Optilex , i5 , 8gb ram, Tower.
The psu according to website is w and there is a single pcie16 of 75w. What is the best card I could add? I use this mainly for retrogaming, virtual pinball and some new games too. The card will fit apparently and my standard Dell power supply has enough power to run the card — but will I get bottle necks with the i5 processor?
Have Microsoft XPlane11 installed but basically unusable even at minimum settings, want the best performance Video Card that would fit in this low profile case and give the best performance. Getting a lot of info from you so appreciate that. I ordered a GT DDR5 2gb on amazon but after reading this i am wondering it there is anyway i can get up to a 4gb card within your list you mention a higher Geforce and even the AMD The issue being that the GT supposedly can handle load at just 35w vs others at 75w.
This is where i am trying to make best decision. Hello Mr. I noticed my temperatures were up so I recently did a transplant of everything to an empty Optiplex DT case. I can now use the X16 slot and everything runs about degrees cooler.
I have watts. I am looking forward to buy the same model for 70 Euros, as said before. And what would be possible damages? And finding a better PSU for the case is also very difficult. So I could build a completely new system before buying the Optiplex, but then it is expensive. Do you have a professional advice for me? Im really confused. Well, it can work but the risk is there especially during gaming when the card draws maximum power. In the worst case scenario, you might end up burning the PSU.
Nono, I will remove it completely. Or did I misunderstand you? I think it can be doable but you have to take the final call. I would like to know type and size graphis card I need to aquire. Hello, realy usefull site you are running. Thanks a lot. I am having considerations about the actual ways of which a GPU is powered and hope that this post is accepted as related to the current topic.
At this point most of the internet advises is to use a low profile GPU because the PCI E slot of the motherboard is actually offering only 50 watts an most of the normal size GPUs would require at least 75 Watt. My Question would then be: If i want to install a GPU in a 50 Watt PCI E Slot would it make sense to choose between low end card of below 50 watt consumption and avoid anything with 75 watt, or could i go even to a card with an external supply e.
Well, the thing is some cards may draw more power from the PCIe slot even if they come with a 6-pin PCIe connector and there is no way of knowing which cards do that because it is not specified anywhere. Thank you for creating this article!
Thanks a lot for the article Akshat. I have no other cards in the PCI slots. Thx Tom. On paper, the RX looks more powerfull more cores, vs No options in single slot low profile form factor. I think you might be able to run it fine as its power consumption is quite low 40W. So, I think it is better to stick with the one that I have suggested. Thanks for quick response.
I have an elite desk g1 from hp with an i and a W hp platinum certified power supply. Wich graphic card would you recommend for me???? Also sorry for the grammar but I just know a little about english. Greeting Akshat and thank you for for doing all this research. What card do you recommend to make this a better gaming machine? Akshat, I just wanted to thank you again. Great advice and good information.
I have a 4K monitor and would like the old computer to have 4K resolution when running Win The computer is all original. Is that the best card I can get for it?? The psu is being upgraded too I have a more powerful spare that will fit the case. Hi i want to put a gpu on my optiplex i have psu watts 4gb ram ddr3 gb hdd cpu : E 2.
Thank you, just what I was looking for. Needless to say, video and sound was not where they spent the money. You, my good sir — are a scholar for doing the hard work — the research , and a gentleman for giving it away to those less gifted in this field. You, are much appreciated. Will this work with my new monitor that has freesync?
It is HP 27F model. I just want to upgrade from the existing HD Intel onboard video card and maybe some minimal gaming. Looking for something not too expensive. Thank you for your input. No issues whatsoever as all graphics cards work on 12V DC which is supplied by the computer power supply. It is a dual-slot low profile card and you need a single slot low profile card to fit in your PC.
Right now, GTX is the fastest graphics card you can get in the low profile form factor. Notify me by email when the comment gets approved. Graphics Cards. Related Posts. P June 25, Sir, Thank you for your good suggestions.

Thanks Akshat! You are welcome. Akshat, It looks like there is only a black piece of plastic separating my single slot brackets on the back of the case.
