Gigabyte GeForce GT 1030 Low Profile 2G, Black

Product Information

The size of your chosen low profile graphics card will likely be the most influential factor when choosing the best fit for your PC case. MSI GeForce GTX 1050 Ti 4GT LP is based on the latest Pascal GPU architectureand comes with 4GB GDDR5 memory. It has a bit longer low-profile graphics card and has got dual fans for better cooling. Although it has got dual-slot design it can easily fit in a low-profile PC case. The fastest low-profile graphics card from AMD right now. Radeon RX 6400 is the smallest graphics card in the AMD Radeon RX 6000 series and it sits below the RX 6500 XT in the RX 6000 series. The card is built on the RDNA 2 GPU architecture on the 6nm fabrication process and uses Navi 24 GPU in a cut-down form. RX 6400 comes with 768 Stream Processors and 4GB GDDR6 memory having 64-bit bus width and the memory runs at a speed of 16Gpbs delivering bandwidth of 128 GB/s. The card offers performance equal to GTX 1650 and in some games, it can even outperform it. It is a good card for eSports gaming and for running the latest games at 1080p resolution with medium graphics settings. The card supports PCIe 4.0 but the PCI-Express bandwidth is rather limited to x4 lanes only.

This Radeon RX 460 low-profile video card supports AMD FreeSync and CrossFire technologies. The card has lower power consumption (max. 75W) and it does not require external PCIe power connectors from the PSU. The recommended power supply for this card is 400W. Connectivity options for this card include DVI-D and HDMI ports. Highly Recommended by me.

MSI Radeon R7 240 2GD3 LP On the other hand Dell OptiPlex MT models will support the full 75 W draw from the PCIe slot. GPU profile (height)

Theoretical Performance

Gigabyte GeForce GTX 1650 D6 OC Low Profile 4G [Faster than GTX 1650 GDDR5 version, Supports up to 4 displays] Low Profile Graphics Cards are small form factor graphics cards that are not essentially meant for gaming, but some people buy them for their special needs or requirements. I have also used a couple of low-profile graphics cards in the past, and they have served my purpose pretty well. Low-profile graphic cards are comparatively smaller in size than regular-sized graphics cards and are used mostly in slim cases or low-profile computer cases. Things to consider while researching for a dedicated GPU upgrade for your Dell OptiPlex desktop: GPU power rating I own two used Lenovo ThinkCentre low profile PCs (i5-4570). They came with onboard graphic cards. One is used in the living rooms TV lowboard (10cm height for PC, just perfectly fits) and one is used as working PC in the workroom. I started with MSI GeForce GT 730 LP to have a little bit advanced 3D graphic capabilities for games. This card was waste of money in terms of performance, albeit it was very cheap. Less Power Consuming – Because of their small size and fewer components, low-profile graphics cards consume less power than regular-sized graphics cards. Almost all the low-profile graphics cards do not need an external power connector from the PSU, and they work only on the power supplied by the PCI Express x16 slot. Also, you do not need a high-wattage power supply for them, as a budget PSU of 400W is enough for them, given that it is an average PC build.

The GeForce GT 1030 was an entry-level graphics card by NVIDIA, launched on May 17th, 2017. Built on the 14 nm process, and based on the GP108 graphics processor, in its GP108-300-A1 variant, the card supports DirectX 12. This ensures that all modern games will run on GeForce GT 1030. The GP108 graphics processor is a relatively small chip with a die area of only 74 mm² and 1,800 million transistors. It features 384 shading units, 24 texture mapping units, and 16 ROPs. NVIDIA has paired 2,048 MB GDDR5 memory with the GeForce GT 1030, which are connected using a 64-bit memory interface. The GPU is operating at a frequency of 1228 MHz, which can be boosted up to 1468 MHz, memory is running at 1502 MHz (6 Gbps effective). Core i7 will give better performance but the difference is not substantial enough to invest in a better GPU. Power Supply Unit Last but not least is the MSI RX 550 4GT LP OC. This low profile graphics card comes with a range of great features from MSI that will make it a worthy investment for a smaller PC case setup.

Best Low Profile Graphics Card in 2023

GeForce GT 710 is one of the best and cheapest low-profile graphic cards that you can find on the market. First of all, this is not a graphics card meant for gaming. This card is the best cheapest solution available when you want to upgrade the graphics of your older computer from integrated or onboard graphics.

The card comes with 4352 CUDA Cores, 34 RT Cores (3rd Generation), and 136 Tensor Cores (4th Generation). It uses a cut-down version of the AD106 GPU Chip and is built on the smaller 5nm fabrication process. It comes with 8GB GDDR6 memory that has a 128-bit interface and runs at a speed of 17 Gbps. The card supports DirectX 12 Ultimate, OpenGL 4.6, Vulkan, PCI-Express 4.0 (x8), Real-Time Ray Tracing, HDMI 2.1, Resizable BAR, G-Sync, AV1 Hardware Encode/Decode, HDMI 2.1, Deep Learning Super Sampling 3 (DLSS 3). The maximum power consumption of the card is 115W and it requires one 8-pin PCIe power connector. The PSU recommendation for this card is of 450W. Display connectivity options include two DisplayPort 1.4a Ports and two HDMI 2.1a ports.

Because of this, they are easier to upgrade with better GPUs. For this to work you will need a 24-Pin to 8-Pin adapter cable to power the motherboard. I’m not a gamer except for some old arcade games that any card will drive. (joust, dig-dug, MarioBros, PacMan, etc) ZOTAC GAMING GeForce GTX 1650 Low Profile is the second most powerful low-profile graphics card that you can get for your SFF low-profile PC or case for gaming. GeForce GTX 1650 is a budget graphics card in the GeForce GTX 16 series from Nvidia. The card is based on the Turing GPU architecture and comes with 896 CUDA Cores and 4 GB GDDR5 memory having an interface of 128-bit. It is around 25% to 30% faster than the GeForce GTX 1050 Tiand can run the latest AAA games on medium settings at 1080p comfortably, and relatively older games at high graphics settings at 1080p with 60 FPS on average. If i want to install a GPU in a 50 Watt PCI E Slot would it make sense to choose between low end card of below 50 watt consumption and avoid anything with 75 watt, or could i go even to a card with an external supply (e.g. 6 pin connector) and total power consumption of below 125 Watt ( 50 watt from PCI E + 75 Watt from 6- Pinn = 125 Watt) like the 120 watt demanding new GTX 1660 ? This is a very powerful low-profile graphics card because of the latest GeForce GTX 1050 Ti GPU and it can play the latest games like Fallout 4, GTA5, etc. on high settings @1080p. The power consumption of this card is 75W and it needs a good 300W power supply. Connectivity options includeDVI, HDMI, and DisplayPort. So if you are looking for the fastest low-profile gaming graphics card under 300 dollars then this is the one you must buy. MSI GeForce GTX 1050 Ti 4GT LP Specifications

I ended up now with ASUS GeForce GTX 1650 OC Low Profile in the living room for gaming and multimedia and MSI GeForce GT 1030 2GB LP OC in my working room for work and (low/medium settings) gaming.GeForce GT 1030 utilizes an all-new graphics processor called GP108, composed of 1.8 billion transistors. It’s a teeny thing at just 70mm², thanks to the same 14nm FinFET process used to manufacture GP107. Compare that to GeForce GT 730’s GK208 chip with 1.02 billion transistors in an 84mm² die. Or how about the GeForce GTX 750 Ti, which we’re making the GT 1030 battle in today’s benchmarks? That card’s GM107 GPU has a similar transistor count as GP108, but in a 148mm² die, owing to its 28nm manufacturing process.
