I noticed the following low profile GTX 750 Ti is very popular on Newegg:
http://www.newegg.com/Product/Produ...27836&cm_re=gtx_750_ti-_-14-127-836-_-Product
Overall the above card (with a GTX 750 TI GPU rated at 60W TDP) is very short at 5.75" but notice all the heat generated will be dumped in the case.
So I got to wondering why more graphics companies are not using a modified cooler based on the following design:

Granted the GTX 450 GPU is rated at 106W, but the card is only 7.48" long.
Assuming a new low profile card (based on a newly released FinFET GPU) were around 55W to 70W I'm thinking a shorter blower design of around 6.7" (ie, the Mini-ITX length) should work.
P.S. I believe a card length of 6.7" would also work in many HP SFF Pre-builts (which classically are able to accept a dual slot low profile card).
