GIGABYTE Unveils Low-Profile GeForce GTX 1050 Ti and GTX 1050 Graphics Cards
GIGABYTE today unveiled low-profile GeForce GTX 1050 Ti and GTX 1050 graphics cards. The two cards are based on a common board design, featuring a half-height PCB that's 16.7 cm long, and a dual-slot cooling solution, with a monolithic copper-core aluminium heatsink, ventilated by a single fan, and yet come with minor factory-overclocked speeds. The GTX 1050 Ti low-profile card ships with out-of-the-box clock speeds of 1303 MHz core, and 1417 MHz GPU Boost (vs. 1290/1393 MHz reference); while the GTX 1050 Low-profile ships with 1366/1468 MHz (vs. 1354/1455 MHz reference). Both cards rely on the PCI-Express slot for power, and feature two HDMI 2.0b and one DisplayPort 1.4 connector, in addition to dual-link DVI. The company didn't reveal pricing.

Maybe these could be the one instead..
Otherwise it would turn into a mini-toaster.
HDMI and displayport should be the only ports. Enough with this antique 1990's tech.
For the time being, dremel or a soldering iron and some desoldering braid + solder pump should do the trick...

EDIT: K1200, not K2200.. thanks @thekaidis for catching it
That was almost 15 years ago. 150nm GPUs weren't that afraid of high temperatures, hence 9100 was a decent choice for passively cooled iGPUs on some motherboards boards. Plus, both NV and ATI probably learned since then, that it was not a good idea...And I quote, from the spec page:
"Slot Size Dual Slot"
I held in my own hands quite a few of those (broken, though), and while they are close to being single-slot, they are not. There is a slight 3-4mm overhang, which prevents anything from being installed in the next slot(and you wouldn't want to, because it has to be cooled somehow).That's closer. But too expensive for conventional use.
RX460: 2 models
RX470: 2 models
RX480: 5 models
1050: 6 models
1050 Ti: 6 models
1060: 18 models
1070: 8 models
1080: 13 models
Thanks Gigabyte! I'm sure the RX460 with sub 75W power would explode if it would have a single fan and/or ITX version!
Although, it is a chicken and egg problem. Why would gigabyte want to put as much work into 480 models when the 1070 has higher margins, and outsells the entire 400 lineup?
That might be the winner. :roll:
Speaking of Palit, I do happen to have pair of PCI-e x4 GT730s in my possession. Those are smaller than a pack of smokes, but still two-slotted (It's half-height half-length evil midget w/ 2GB GDDR3 and 384 CUDA cores) :fear:
Will be easy to measure it on the GPU, or make my own single-slot half-height card. I only hope it's none of those triangular mounts, like on ASUS...
That cooling solution is very similar, and even has space for a shroud on top.
I think that's also the 2nd gen. GT730 w/ 1GB GDDR5
Inno3d is a brand from pcpartner, which also owns zotac(third one is manli). So one of the zotac's might have the same cooler. Of course it might just be from some generic heatsink manf., which palit uses too.
