Most powerful Low Profile GPU

[79 Potatoes]

AFAIK the most powerful LP GPU out there is the GTX 750 Ti

My question is: Does anyone know about something better? Any announced GPUs?

[Oshino Shinobu]

The SFF 970s are available. There's also the R9 Nano coming around. 

[Exceptional OCD]

AMD is releasing a Nano GPU, not exactly sure of the name but it's definitely going to be more powerful than the 750Ti.

I said low profile not short...

Wait for the fury nano

You must mean single slot cards.

I'm not aware of any of those.

so single slot gpu's right?

Nope, low profile PCIe cards. Not all of them are single slot, an example: http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16814127836

This one using the LP PCI brackets turns into a low profile card, and it's dual slot

In that case, some of the Quadro and other workstation GPUs are technically the most powerful for their intended purpose. 

 

In terms of gaming, 750Ti is the most powerful.

almost any dual slot card can be made single slot with a aftermarket liquid cooler

Er... I'm not going to watercool such thing?

Ok then. No announcements of new LP GPUs?

OMG why does nobody know what low profile PCIe means...

we do...but generaly those are single slot gpus as well as lp

[Oshino Shinobu]

Not as far as I know. Only SFF ones. 

 

The 750Ti doesn't use much power, or produce much heat, so it can afford to be smaller. Things above it require the larger coolers really. 

[79 Potatoes]

You shouldn't generalize... It will turn the same as "SDRAM" used to refer to SDR DIMMs... DDR is also SDRAM

[techguru]

personally Id probably just buy a new case instead of trying to hunt a LP card down

[Enderman]

no?

the 750ti is low profile and takes up more than 1 slot

this would probably be the fastest low profile card

but good luck actually finding one to buy

Yup, saw it... and in some places when there was low stock it reached prices around 400 $... 

Also isn't it similar performance to the GTX 750 Ti?

 

PS Off topic: IMO it's a special brand, they even have a single slot version  http://www.kitguru.net/components/graphic-cards/zardon/afox-hd7850-single-slot-crossfire-review/

guess so

[79 Potatoes]

.

Just asking... They have about the same floating point performance...

[techguru]

someone needs to make a 960 low profile

[79 Potatoes]

someone needs to make a 960 low profile

And hell it would make sense:

HD 7850's TDP: 130 W

GTX 960's TDP: 120 W
