    Re: Need one small gpu

    That's a pretty large full height, double slot GPU. The only thing small about it is that it's shorter that usual for it's performance level.

    @jamesreid61: Your requirements are too vague for a sensible answer. What size restriction do you have (which case is it) and what is the GPU required to do?

    I recommend a GTX 950 for you build! I've been using a Zotac 950 and its been great so far!

    Re: Need one small gpu

    Im guessing that its not intended for gaming, so any cheap small graphics card would do. Such as the geforce 210 or r9 240. Of it is for gaming i heard that the fury were pretty small and powerful

    Re: Need one small gpu

    I believe that the gentleman is after a, preferably, half height card. In order to fit the card into a imitation of the common DVD/VHS player HTPC case.

    You could go with the cheapest cards there are, of course. One would question, why? For decoding the IGP should suffice of whatever platform you have (as long as it is no too old or weak). If you are after something beefier and still seeking half height, Gigabyte GV-N75TOC-2GL I think is the most powerful GPU out there (2GB RAM, nVidia 750Ti).

    All in all, we need more information about your requirements.

    Re: Need one small gpu

    What's the use case of this card?
    That'll determine whether people recommend an R9 Nano or a GTX 610 LP

    Would guess the use of hardware decoder & such. Wonder if the OP thought of using an APU instead?

    A 960 would be a better choice IMO Cost's slightly more and performs much better!
