Define low profile... single slot? short length? if you're including workstation crds in the mix I'm guessing you're not looking at cards like the 1050ti....

 

Theres a couple of small 1070's From gigabyte and i cant remember the other one (there's a small 1080ti by zotac but it's no better than the reference design in terms of performance or cooling)

Low profile as in the bracket size so that it would fit in low profile cases

according to what google can give me. the wx4100 is worse than a gtx 1050ti.

if you look only at gaming cards, the 1050ti is the best low profile one. if you look at other cards, than idk, because i dont know much about the other ones
