Low Profile GPU Recommendation

[Durvelle27]

Are there any decent Low Profile GPUs that don’t cost a lot with performance around the GTX 460 & HD 5870 ?

My wife has a dell PC that can only fit a low profile GPU and she wants to play this game called “We Happy Few” so I wanted to surprise her with it when she comes home from the hospital so she has something to do while at home.

Her System Specs:

Core 2 Quad Q6600
Samsung 8GB(4x2GB) DDR2 800MHz
Seagate 500GB HDD
Dell Board
Dell 350W PSU
2x Dell 17” 1280x1024 Monitors

I think GT1030 would fit that description, tho I think it's a bit slower than HD5870 and bit faster than a GTX460.

It doesn’t have to beat them

I just know that’s what the system requirements state is needed

Just make sure you get the GDDR5 version and not the DDR4 one.

FYI l linked the GDDR5 version (the good one) and if you want to see the difference between the two see the link below

FYI, with her specs she really won't be able to push a card more powerful then the GT 1030

What about the R7 250

 

[IceScreamer]

Cheaper, but slower, I think it was a rebranded HD7750, that means it's closer to the HD5770 which is noticeably slower than the cards you mentioned.

750 Ti come in low profile which can be had fairly cheap and afaik slightly better than a gt 1030

I’m thinking since she’s not at 1080p and more close to 720p shouldn’t doesn’t need outrageous
