Good GPU with Low Profile Bracket

[IncredibleJ1]

Hi all,

 

I was able to pick up a Thinkstation P340 with a 10700 and 32 gigs of memory for around 300 however I'm at a bit of a loss for what to do about graphics. It came preinstalled with a Quadro P1000. Does anyone know if it would make sense to jump to either an RX 6400 or and RTX A2000? I'm limited on power for this one so the 75w slot is max unless I wan't to find some odd power supply.

1650 comes in LP and comes in under your power budget. 6400 on anything but pcie gen 4 is crippled.

Wouldn't gen 3 be fine? I thought the 6400 was relatively low end and wouldn't exceed the limits of gen 3.

It only uses an x4 interface, and with what limited performance it has, the gen 3x4 reduces what little performance it already starts with.
