What is the fastest LOW PROFILE video card for around $100

[Staz]

I am about to start working nights and want to play games on my work computer, which is a Dell Optiplex GX270. It's a slim line desktop, but does have an AGP port. I will mainly play RTS games, so don't need a ton of 3D power, but don't want something too junky.

Thus what is the fastest LOW PROFILE videocard for around $100 or less?

Very good choice! You could also try unlocking the pipes on that thing and OCing it, and that'd actually make a very good card for the price

oh, and SM3...just had to say that, even if the 6200 wont use it well 😀

i've never heard of 6200s unlocking...if you can wait a month (prices will probably drop by then), get a 6600gt. you will be set for a long time for rts games.

you can unlock a 6200 to a 6600 IIRC, but I can't recall.
not bad for $68 though, if it works.

You'll never see a low profile 6600GT.

This is a good choice. It's about the same performance as a 4200ti, but with DX9.

Any that support dual DVI?
