    Need a cheap low profile Graphics card.

    So I made a post a few days ago as some of you will know and I bought the wrong kind of graphics card. I need a cheap low profile card, I'd really appreciate direct links etc.
    Thank you so much

    For what will you need it?

    Whoa thanks for the quick reply
    The card is basically for WoW, atm I have to run on lowest settings to get 24-30fps average. So I want something that would have a stable fps with medium/high settings.
    Thanks

    Re: Need a cheap low profile Graphics card.

    If you bought that HD3450 then you could just buy a new mounting bracket for it. I think I put a link in the last thread for the mounting kit.

    The best you might be able to find it an 9600GT low profile but they are very rare.

    8600GT here

    Hmm, I'm kind of iffy about eBay.
    And I'm not sure if the one i sent back to ebuyer gets refunded for money or store credit.
    I'll have a look on ebuyer.
    I'd like anymore help you could offer

    See if you can't find a suitable card on Komplett's Irish site?

    Alternatively... here's a low profile 256MB MSI NX8400GS for just £20
    Or take your pick from this lot (who also sell the low profile brackets)
