Gigabyte GeForce GT 1030 Low Profile 2G, Black

Product Information

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.

GeForce GTX 1650 4GB GDDR6 – For all Dell OptiPlex Mini Tower (MT) models you can use this 75 Watts GPU which does not require an auxiliary PCIe power connection. At your own risk, you can run a more powerful GPU if you use a SATA to 8 or 6pin power adapter. This guide is for those of you who want to boost the graphic performance of their Dell OptiPlex for either gaming or work. On the other hand Dell OptiPlex MT models will support the full 75 W draw from the PCIe slot. GPU profile (height) Dell OptiPlex 3010/7010/9010 MT and OptiPlex 3020/7020/9020 MT and use a standard size ATX power supply. 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. It’s important to keep in mind that the RX 6400 is using four PCI-Express 4.0 lanes, which may not be optimal for OptiPlex models equipped with PCI-Express 3.0. If you happen to reach the VRAM limit with more demanding games your frame rate will suffer. In such cases expect performance loss of approximately 14%. However, for 1080p esports gaming titles like League of Legends, CS:GO, Fortnite, Apex, Valorant and many others this is not an issue. OptiPlex 3010, 7010, and 9010So why is GP108 so much more complex of a GPU than GK208? The two GPUs do span a couple of different architectures, so they’re organized differently, for starters. Another great feature of this particular graphics card is that it’s super quiet when it’s in use. Its single fan is able to provide more than adequate cooling and means the LP GPU is virtually near silent while it’s in use. This will be the ideal choice for your computer setup if you’re fed up with noisier graphics cards! Gigabyte GeForce GTX 1650 D6 OC Low Profile 4G [Faster than GTX 1650 GDDR5 version, Supports up to 4 displays] One of the best features of a low profile graphics card is that they are so much quieter than their standard, full-sized counterparts. Whereas a standard GPU could potentially make a lot of noise when the fans are whirring to try and cool the unit down, an LP GPU will be able to keep itself cooler at a much-reduced volume. These types of graphics cards don’t tend to produce as much heat as their full-sized counterparts, which could also play a factor in why they’re not as noisy as the fans have less work to do. The SFF models of Dell OptiPlex officially support maximum 50W power draw from the PCIe slots. However, installing a 75W GPU is possible and might work. Many users, including us, are using this setup. However, others report issues with their power supply units. Be careful and test the system.

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. 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 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. 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). 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.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. This low profile graphics card supports 2 display outputs. You can choose between the HDMI and dual-link DVI-D for the best display options for your particular computer setup, ideal if you want to be able to choose between multiple display options. Currently the most powerful graphics card you can install on OptiPlex 3020, 7020, 9020 SFF is the RTX A2000. It’s a workstation card that performs close to RTX 3050 but consumes 70 watts. It’s essentially a cut down version RTX 3050 that comes in both 6GB or 12GB versions. Things to consider while researching for a dedicated GPU upgrade for your Dell OptiPlex desktop: GPU power rating

Dedicated GPUs usually use the PCIe x16 connector. This connector alone can deliver a maximum of 75 Watts. Graphics cards with 75 W and more will require additional power provided by the auxiliary connector. Your system may not operate properly, if you don’t use the connector for extra power. The Gigabyte Geforce GTX 1050 Ti comes with dual-link DVI-D, HDMI-2.0b, and a DisplayPort-1.4 for you to choose from. Ideal if you want a low profile graphics card that will support a variety of display cables. The variety of display options means you can play lesser intensive high-quality graphics games with this particular low profile graphics card.Important Note: The length of low-profile graphics cards may vary depending on the manufacturer, but the width of a low-profile graphics card is always around 69mm to 70mm. Budget low-profile graphics cards are generally shorter in length, but a mid-range or powerful low-graphics card can be slightly longer. Advantages of Low Profile Graphics Cards Buy Gigabyte GeForce GTX 1650 D6 OC Low Profile 4G Gigabyte GeForce RTX 4060 OC Low Profile 8G [Most Powerful Low-profile Card, Dual-slot design, Supports four Displays, Latest GPU Architecture, Support Latest Features] Let’s begin with two GPU upgrade options that make the most sense – they have a good price to performance ratio and don’t require any changes to the hardware whatsoever.
