This particular low profile graphics card will be an excellent choice if you’re looking for a smaller GPU. The card itself measures 167mm in length and comes with a range of outputs for you to use. Overall the low profile GPU measures 40mm (H) x 229mm (L) x 118mm (W). It features a 90mm fan design to keep the low profile graphics card cool while it’s in use.

So the problem I’m having is that my old upgrade card (a Radeon HD6670 from Sapphire, which I installed after finding a tiny-enough 400W replacement supply,) died after a few years’ use; I subsequently replaced that with an Nvidia GT1030, which just died today. In hindsight I vastly prefer AMD over Nvidia, which preference in addition to my dimensional constraints is presenting problems. Cooling the PowerColor Low Profile RX 6400 is a tiny cooler as shown in the intro photos. Now, because the cooler is so small, it is a bit noisier than we would have liked a 43 dBA, it's not horribly loud, but we could clearly hear it over case fans. It sounds a lot like a busy laptop due to the tiny fan spinning at 3600 RPM. Whether you’re an experienced gamer or researching how to successfully carry out your first PC build, you may have heard of low-profile graphics cards. In a nutshell, a low-profile graphics card is a type of video card that has been specially designed to be smaller than other graphics cards, and this is usually so that it can be used with a computer that has a smaller case. Finally, and potentially most importantly, is the cost of these small form cards. As you can probably imagine, low profile graphics cards are naturally less expensive than regular-sized GPUs – and that comes down to several different factors: Neither product is suitable for 1440p gaming, but here's a look at the average performance seen across 12 games. Basically, GTX 1650 performance, making better value parts like the GTX 1650 Super faster and better suited to this higher resolution. What We LearnedGigabyte GeForce GTX 1050 OC Low Profile 2G is one of the fastest low graphics cards that you can buy right now. GeForce GTX 1050 is a powerful mid-range GPU from Nvidia based on the latest Pascal GPU architecture. This GeForce GTX 1050 low-profile graphics card from Gigabyte comes with 640 CUDA Cores and 2GB GDDR5 memory. MSI Radeon RX 460 2GT LP is one of the most powerful low-profile graphics cards from AMD. The card is based on the Polaris GPU architecture and comes with 896 Stream Processors and 2GB GDDR5 memory having a 128-bit memory interface. For cooling, the card comes with dual fans which are very effective in keeping its temperature down to safe levels, even during high GPU usage. This is a great card for eSports gamingand for playing the latest AAA games on medium settings at 1080p. Also, this is a great card for video editing, HTPC, Mini-ITX or low-profile builds, and for running a 4K display. The main competitor of this card is GeForce GTX 1050from Nvidia. As low-profile graphics cards aren’t too different from other types of graphics cards, so the good news is that installing one will be a straightforward process! To do so, all you will need is your low-profile graphics card, a screwdriver, and your computer setup. First, you’ll need to remove the GPU (if you have one) from your current PC setup, and then locate the long PCI-E x16 slot which is located on the heat sink side of your processor. Just as you would build any PC. I’m not a gamer except for some old arcade games that any card will drive. (joust, dig-dug, MarioBros, PacMan, etc) Again, that is, 20% faster, uses the same amount of power, it's 3 years older and technically cheaper. Based on that, the RX 6400 is clearly a massive fail, just as the 6500 XT was.

Performance lands right between the GTX 1650 and RX 570, so we guess that's okay, or at least about as good as it gets, especially for the PCIe 3.0 config.GeForce GT 740 is another powerful budget graphics card. Both GT 730 and GT 740 have 385 CUDA Cores but then also GT 740 is faster than GT 730 because of the newer GPU architecture and greater memory interface of 128-bit.
