What Is The Best Low Profile Video Card??

pretty sure that's a full sized computer as in it would use a normal graphics card, where'd you see that it was low profile?

and you'll want a new psu too probably
 
yeah, you should be able to fit most any card in that case. you do need to upgrade the psu though, depending on how high performance of a card you get

the memory has nothing to do with the performance at all really, to an extent yes and with certain applications yes but if this is for gaming then any modern card has at LEAST one gig and many have 2 or 3 and there's even a few with more, up to six
 
Here are 3 reviews from Newegg about using a low profile video card

Cons: Not a whole lot of room to put normal graphics cards considering the ram slots get in the way. Do your homework, make sure the graphics card you are buying is short (that the card ends where the golden motherboard connector does) and it uses 300w of power. Newegg lets you look at pictures inside the computer for a reason, it's good to know the internal layout of the motherboard before buying any PC.

Cons: Not the best video card, my 6850 wont fit in, so now im stuck with the 4250, because the ram slots are blocking the video card which I think is a big turn down for those who are planning to upgrade a lot, but then again you can just get a smaller video card :\

Cons: Memory slots bracket block normal sized video card.

looks like a normal card should fit, you can open it to see, the cards themself line up with the hole in the slot and don't go over that so if you can see an un-obstucted line then you are ok. otherwise there are short cards, not low profile, that don't extend past the slot much, which in that case then this is the most powerful one

but you'd really need a new power supply to run it
