That is a common mistake RS. Low profile does not mean single slot. It means half height (even though it is not exactly half height). It can fit in a case that is narrower than normal. It has a smaller end bracket as well. This is a low profile card The first image show the card with a...

That's not a low profile card RussianSensation. If it was I'd be a happy man :) There was an Apollo card around a little while back which was a 4650 with DDR3 memory. Seems to have disappeared from Newegg though, but would've been your best ATI offering and you might be able to find it...

Anyone tried replacing fan and heatsink for low profile graphic cards? As far as I can tell my Sapphire does not have heat sinks on the ram and the current cooler/sink makes adding them impossible on some of the chips. Now, I haven't taken the current setup off, but from what I can see on the...

Hi Zap. Thanks for your comments. I understand the difficulties with making low profile cards and I myself did pay a premium for the 4650. Guessing about 20-30% more and with somewhat less performance. Thing is, I was happy to pay more. I only wish I'd've waited a couple more weeks and got...

First off, thanks everyone for a spirited discussion as always whenever graphics are mentioned. Now, for those of you who didn't get it my post about having AMDs babies is obviously a joke. I'm male so that's not possible... DAAMIT... Secondly, if I can draw your attention to my OP I have the...

That's kind of irrelevant you know... but ok... it's gonna toast a 350w PSU... or at least torture it until it cries and dies :) and I want an AMD gpu as the only gfx card I have ever owned that's died was an Nvidia (oh and Nvidia trying to corner GPGPU with CUDA instead of going OpenCL plus I...

Since last year I have been patiently awaiting a killer low profile graphics solution from my dear friends at AMD and yet, every week I get disappointed. What I cannot understand is this: If they can created the smallest chips with the lowest power requirements why on earth can't someone put...

No no no no nooooooooooo.... For me that is.... http://www.apollovcard.com/Pro...-HD4650_512MB_DDR3.htm Low profile 4650 with DDR3 Ram... Ok, so I'll admit to not knowing much about Apollo as a manufacturer but here it is... a better one. I suppose the 1400mhz ram is in fact 2 x 700mhz and...

Hi northtexan95. The autotune is a bit... optimistic I think. It gave me GPU 765 and mem 500. This couldn't complete a 3dMark06 run. So back to what I normally do which is manual tweaking. I'd recommend you try memory first. Leave the GPU at the default 600 and see how far the ram can go. If...

ExarKun333... Didn't plan on doing much gaming on it no... didn't plan on using it alone either. The only reason I considered the 3450 as an interim solution (which I hope I made clear) is that it can do hybrid crossfire. Now, on a 1440x900 resolution you'd be surprised that you can happily play...

Thanks for that Zap. I would say that giving people the option to choose low profile double slot cards is still good. Personally I haven't checked my mobo to see if I could but I know the only space next to the gfx slot is a x1 which I more than happily would sacrifice. Then again, I wouldn't go...

The egg has listened to you :) http://www.newegg.com/Product/...x?Item=N82E16814102829 Currently at US$54.99 which probably makes it worth my while getting one in from overseas... The wait does at least seem to be over... :) or nearly over...

Hi Bluemax. Did I see on another forum that you've cancelled your order as well? I've seen that Sapphire has a 4650 low profile out/coming out... Not listed on the Sapphire website though. It is listed as In Stock in some Australia e-tailers but I'm doubtful... the gfx saga continues. O await...

Thank you ExarKun333. That was extremely helpful. While we are nitpicking it I'd contend that it is logical to me as my experience is less than satisfactory with Nvidia chips and the fastest way for me to get a 4670 (which was the one I really wanted) would be to get a new case. Anyway...

Update: I have cancelled my order. Not sure who is at fault here but I think Powercolor should remove the product from their product line as it is not in store anywhere in the world to my knowledge. I was told yesterday (which was ETA in store) that there is no stock with distributor and ETA is...
