looks like a regular "low profile" size. So, any "low profile" card has a chance at fitting as long as its not too long. Dont know anything about that power supply, you might also be stuck with a a low power card unless your power supply has 8 or 6 pin PCI Express power supplemnental connectors, and enough wattage to power a GPU.

thankfully you have room for a dual slot card.

I think they have low profile Geforce 4060s, they are too expensive and too slow for the amount they cost, but, will likely be the best you can get for a small system like that. Not sure if you have enough power though.

If you dont have enough power, there are other slower options that might fit.

But generally, low profile options are very limited.

...out of the box, it cant even do 1080p.
is there a GPU that can output 4k vid along with audio via HDMI?
If I understand the question correctly you just need a Display Port cable or a Display Port to HDMI adapter if your monitor lacks DP.

Were you asking to just DISPLAY 1080p or do you want to GAME at 1080p?

The Intel 630 graphics I think you have should easily do a 4k display and I think you have 2x Display Ports, just no HDMI.

If you want to game at 1080p I suggest you start over. Maybe get an APU or at least a full height case with a decent PS.

To follow up what @lakedude noted, the iGPU can do 4K 60Hz as long as the output and cable are capable of it. This is the latest driver for the 7700K -

https://www.intel.com/content/www/u...cessor-8m-cache-up-to-4-50-ghz/downloads.html

If I was going to add some 1080 gaming performance , I'd get the RTX 3050 6GB LP from Zotac or Gigabyte for under $190. The LP cards from AMD and Intel need either PCIe 4.0 or resizeable bar support to reach their full performance. Even then they are considerably slower. The 3050 would pair well with a 7700K.

thank you for the driver!
the display adapter was generic, so i was getting maybe 720p res. now, i get only 1080p via the displayport to HDMI adapter, even with a fancy DP to HDMI cord. thankfully, audio works on the same cable. no option to output 4k. but it should be fine as im using it for Blue Iris primarily.

Interesting about it not listing 4K. Do you know if the adapter is rated for it? If not, they are dirt cheap for the 4K ones.

EDIT: Intel ARK lists 4K 24Hz for HDMI. So even though that is a bad refresh rate, one would hope it would offer 1440 60Hz so you can get higher res output than 1080. Heck I am not certain if it treats the adapter like DP or HDMI.

what adapter is this? can you share the link?
currently, all i am using is a cord. 1 end is DP and HDMI on the other end
