Low profile PCIe cards? Sapphire x1600 availability.

[Remedy]

I need a low profile 16x graphics solution. What I found available are the following,

XFX 6600 256MB Probably my primary choice over many.

HP's x1300 256MB LP card. This card is decent, but very hard to find.



Power color x700 LP. 4 pipelines, is understood. But, there is way to flash the BIOS to get the 8 pipelines out if worse comes to worse.

The card I'm really interested in is the Sapphire x1600 LP. Anyone know any current news on it's availability?

Asus 7600GS, first HDMI supported card $135

But thats too expensive, and isnt really low profile.

Gigabyte 7300GS $63

Really good low profile card, with passive cooling.

7300GT, faster than a 6600GT for $79

I don't quite think you're understanding. Low Profile means Half-heighted cards. The card needs to be installed into a Compaq EVO and a Cube Mini. Thanks for posting though.

could these fit into a dell 4800C chassis?

XFX 7300gs

check out that card, the turbo cache might help in some games.

O, i thought you just meant low end cards. Didnt realise about the case. My bad

But the 7300GS is pretty good for what you are looking for. They are cheap too.

Thank you people. But, I think I'll wait for the x1600 Low Profile card from Sapphire that I linked in the OP.

The ones I mentioned in my original post, yes. The ones cookie mentioned, No.

Check out Dells site, for some reason I can't view all of there low profile cards unless i'm logged into to premier though. They have some Quadro and FireGL low profile cards, if you're willing to pay. You're best bet is waiting for the X1600 as that seems to have the specs for lp cards right now.

Not to hijack the thread, but I've been wondering about some low-profile PCI-e cards myself. In particular, I'm wondering if the X1900XT 256 meg card will be available as a low-profile solution.

I doubt thats possible...

Probably not, but it can't hurt to ask *)

How about this x1600pro.

There is a 1x PCI-E low profile X1300 card on newegg. Great for a prebuilt machine w/o a 16x slot.

I have the sapphire x1600pro LP pci-e x16 card

It is a very good (the best prractically) LP card out there fore HTPC's but the hdmi needs work. Sure it's usuable, but not on every tv.
