What's a "HP Bracket"?

In continuing to hunt around for a GPU, I've been digging more and more for placeholders of reasonable price. Paging through the "workstation" GPUs, I'm seeing something come up here: the "HP bracket." Without knowing what that is, the implication I'm taking away is that it's likely a bracket meant for an HP system, potentially less compatiable with other stuff.

 

At the same time, the photo doesn't look out of the ordinary, and roughly what I would expect for a single-slot PCI-E card to look like.I haven't bought a mobo yet or anything, so I'm just getting a part here and a part there right now as opportunity presents itself, but is this a safe thing to buy?

would it be possible for you to add a link/picture?

Corps aren't your friends. "Bottleneck calculators" are BS. Only suckers buy based on brand. It's your PC, do what makes you happy.  If your build meets your needs, you don't need anyone else to "rate" it for you. And talking about being part of a "master race" is cringe. Watch this space for further truths people need to hear.

A picture would help, but it could just mean high profile bracket. Are these cards physically low profile?

Without seeing an example I am betting this what it is. Comes with a bracket to go in either a low-profile expansion slot in a sff workstation or a full-height one.

it's this. The bracket on the card in the pic is only half-height. 

 

FYI that card is basically, for gaming purposes, a gimped GTX 1650.

Good luck with finding an "affordable" GPU with the specs that you are looking for.  I have been looking to upgrade my AMD Radeon RX 590 (8gigs) for some time now but after watching several stories, both here at LTT, and other places like GamersNexus, the odds of me winning the 500 Billion dollar lottery are far greater than finding the video card that I want and can afford.  Don't need the max, just something in the area of an Asus TUF Gaming Radeon RX 6700 XT OC Edition 12GB GDDR6 Graphics Card.

 

Good Luck, you're gonna need it looking for the GPU you want.

What irks me is that I won a Newegg Shuffle today for a 3060 and a Gigabyte X570 AORUS, but I was out of the house at the time, and by the time I got home and saw it, the offer was expired by about 20 minutes.

Is there a simple adapter to use these in a full-height setup? I don't have the board it'd be going in yet, but the case is a Seasonic Q704.

 

The adapter is... the HP bracket it says it comes with. You remove the half-height bracket and put the "high profile" one on.

I don't see if it comes with the full-height version, but it's basically just something like this, right?
