Highest-end Low-Profile / Half-Height PCI-Express x16 videocard?

[MIDIman]

Anyone know of low profile PCI Express x16 cards? Just saw some nice deals on the Dell 4700C and it has a half-height x16 slot.



old topic concerning AGP here - Anyone know? Highest-end I'm seeing via google is a ATI/Asus 9200SE.

I'm thinking of building a super-small mATX project, and it'll likely need a low-profile card. Just curious what the best is that I can get.

{edit} - just found this thread...anything out there more powerful than those listed there?

dont go near a SE card if u can help it

from that thread....9550 all the way, powercolor or some one has been putting 9550 chips in 9600 cards, bad for the 9600 people but for the 9550 thats good news coz u know it will overclock like a champ

If you don't need TV output, FireGL T2-64s. There's a few on eBay right now, but they don't specify the trailing "S" that tags low-profile.

Thanks for your replies. Mercenary - any idea what chipset that card is based off of?

I just can't believe the best we can do for low-profile is "barely a 9600."

Well you better believe, the newer cards are monsters.

Trust me, it sucks. I tried to find the best, and that's about it. It is a 9600-core, full 4-pipe setup and 128-bit DDR, albeit only 64MB of it.

And from the timeframe, I'd wager the new LP cards will be PCIe only.

Thanks a bunch for the details...

What about half-height PCI Express x16? - I'm changing the topic.
