I'm looking for a low profile graphics card.

Hello,

I'd like to buy a low profile graphics card that is single slot and doesn't require more than 300w of power. Also no additional psu cables to plug in either. 

I want the best I can get for £50.

Anyone got any ideas about what I can get?

In that case you can only have one that uses 75 watt max, as that's all the PCIe slots provide.

 

Do you want this for gaming on? You won't get anything capable of gaming for £50 if so.

It's for a project, the best graphics card I can get with these limitations. Have you got any suggestions?

yes, The Asus ROG one it think doesn't require a 6-pin connector, but it isn't low profile tho.

If you need help on used parts, contact me. I'm an used enthusiast.

Most of the 750Ti's don't use 6-pin connectors. (I think...)

a new gt 1030 is a waste of money when you can get a used 750ti 

you get a warranty with the gt 1030 and from what I have seen, they perform very similarly.

and costs a lot more, not really worth it, if you look around, a gtx 750ti can be cheap as 35$.

similarly is a finicky word ofc, but from what I've seen imo the 1030 is significantly worse enough for me to always say this: go for the 750 ti instead
