EVGA 750 and 750 Ti Single Slot Interest Check

[TheProfosist]

Since the 750 and 750 Ti launched I though they would make great single slot cards due to their low power consumption, low temps, and in the case of EVGA's cards already having all the connectors within a single slot. I also thought EVGA if anyone would be the ones to do it since they were one of the only if not the only companies to put out a proper single slot 640 (v1).

I posted my idea in the thread announcing the 750, 750 Ti, and Titan Black. Jacob got back to me with "No plans right now, sorry. We may look into it if there is demand though." After that there ended up being others that voiced their interest in a single slot 750 or 750 Ti so I thought I would create this thread to drum up some more interest, demand, and also to get some ideas flowing.

For me this would replace my single slot 640 (v1) 4GB. I would also buy EVGA's DisplayPort Hub because I have the 640 running my 3 auxiliary displays via HDMI and that would make it far more elegant. Personally I would prefer this product to be a 750 Ti as for HTPC's this would mean you could even do a good bit of gaming with the machine. Seeing the 6-pin PCI-E connector would be nice but only if it was optional meaning that it could run with and without it. When plugged in it might let the card clock higher or something. I would prefer to see a blower cooler with some copper because of the space constraints. A back plate would be cool to see as well, just cause.

Well guys show you interest if you have any and share your ideas of what you would like to see on the card.

P.S. Here is the thread I created on EVGA's forums in case you have a account and what to show your interest there as well.

I'd be more interested in a passive cooler than a single slot cooler

 

 

edit:

who am I kidding, I'm never gonna buy such a low end card...

[coen113]

i would be interested, but i dont think i would buy it

[kuzimins]

if there would be some nice tiny cases that would take advantage of 1slot cards, it would be cool.

Id rather see a higher end card passively cooled since passive coolers usually take up at least two slots.

There are quite a few out there if you want really tiny though youd have to half height which might be hard to pull off with a 750 or 750 Ti. Also if you did that youd have to choose your display connectors wisely. My choice for something like that would be DVI-I and DP, maybe even miniDP instead of DP just to save room.

I'd absolutely love to see a high end card passively cooled, but I don't think thats possible with a 2 slot cooler, prolly not even 3, cause they put out lots of heat.  but the 750Ti is supposed to be a pretty cool card, which makes me think a passive cooler is completely realistic.

I would definitely buy at least two, possibly three for my own use.

 

 

Also Passively cooled GTX 680, not really practical though due to it's size.

[TheSLSAMG]

I am interested. I would buy a single slot or half height card if it existed.

That thing never even was released. I was about to link that to the conversation above but you beat me to it.

[Homicidium]

It would be quite interesting to see that, but I'm not too sure if I'd buy one. Seems like that the 750ti seems to be on par with a HD6850? If so, then I wouldn't be interested. 

But considering how low the power consumption is, I'd be interested to see what vendors like EVGA, but also others like Asus can do with this card in terms of performance and maintaining a small footprint

lol, I guess I was wrong... thats one hell of a cooler... does anyone have temps?

It was never released, for obvious reasons.

I dont see any what could they be?

[Advent]

Seeing as I run a 780 Ti SC, I have no need for a 750

That being said, it would be nice to see it in a single slot form factor.

 

 

 

What is that gif from?

The internet

[DavidTheWin]

I'm pretty surprised that it isn't already to be honest. I'm even more surprised that the reference cooler is actually larger than 2 slots when there clearly is no need for it to be that large. It wouldn't have been much harder to make it wider and shorter than tall and thin

[Advent]

The internet

Haha, no srsly.

[Lord Pantaloons]

Haha, no srsly.

I am serious, I got it on the internet

[HeathCliff]

I believe a cooler similar to this should be sufficient. What are your thoughts?

I agree with this

That would be one sexy 750Ti. Or better yet, a single-slot DirectCU II. I would buy that shit in a heartbeat.

[Nexus]

I would buy one for my HTPC. Id also like to see a low profile (half height) model. I <3 sff.

Hypothetically speaking, if they were to do that, the cooler style will have to change. And seeing as though my love for the DCU2 780ti cooler will remain eternal, I can't say I'll look forward to it.

[Oshino Shinobu]

I'm planning on building a steam machine at some point and the 750Ti seems like a good choice to me. If a single slot version came out, I would be tempted to buy it.

Maybe just a smaller heatsink.
