I am using an ATI 5450, passively cooled since a long time on my HTPC. 20 W TDP, still around 20k Collatz or so. However, it's the only card not allowed to crunch since there is some lag when watching football.
Today the smallest ATI using 28nm would be the 7750. And it seems low profile. 819.2 GFlops for 55 W TDP...Just little less GFlops/W than the 7970. And double precision.

Look at this Zotac even has a pci x 1 520 gt card and they are only $40 on ebay! Now I can fill more slots!

This is the low profile zotac 430 I was speaking of Mumps. It is now 49 after the rebate.Originally Posted by Mumps
I checked on the Zotac site last night and no, they don't seem to have a single slot Low Profile model. Look at the view from the back in of the ZT-40609-10L for example. Or the ZT-40603-10L The fan and shroud sticks out beyond the card-slot to a point I don't believe it would fit because of the PCIe slot being right next to the hard drive assembly in the system. If only they had put the PCI card next to the drives and the PCIe slot further away.
Am I just not spotting the right one?

I can not get any of those ZOTAC GeForce GT 430 here in Portugal. They say I am in Europe but I feel I am in the third world. Computer parts were way more easy to get in Brazilian black market than in Portugal. I wanted 2 or 3 depending the price and can not get one.

Hows about someone shipping you them. Or is it a customs and duty issue.
Thanks KaptainKarl. I had some news about it and it seems that I can do it by a Portuguese Company, I will see that monday.
In case of need I will do as you say or try to buy direct to any internet sale company on the USA. It seems that is possible also.

If you need I will snag them for you and you can just pay pal me. Let me know how things go. I have 4 of these running and want to add a pci x 1 to an old dual core for 4 in one machine!
I will KaptainKarl. Let us wait for monday to see if I can solve things here. I will tell you something on tuesday. Thanks my captain.

Which would be better for me to upgrade to? (I do like the lower energy use of the 7750)
AMD Radeon HD 7750
or
Diamond AMD ATI Radeon HD 6990
haha no I am kidding. I can't get the 6990.
But really, I would like to upgrade my card in one of my machines from an AMD ATI Radeon HD 5750 to something under $200
Hmmm. Actually due to AMD changing their numbering scheme after the 5000 series (when they were still called ATI), the 5750 produces anywhere from 10%-25% more GFLOPS than the 7750 (depends on model) so you're actually better off keeping it since the 7750 seems to be the best 7000 series LP card :/Which would be better for me to upgrade to?

Drawbacks to the 5750 though are that it can't do DP and it does use a tad more power...but it's faster...i guess it just depends on how badly you want to crunch MW with it
