The low profile version will fit into low profile cases. You will see the metal bracket where the output ports are located is shorter than the other card. It's for slim PCs that some manufacturers like Dell make. If you have a normal case get the regular card with the much better heatsink+fan.

Other than the physical size, there is no real difference (from a performance standpoint). The full-size card, with its larger heatsink/fan would probably overclock better due to a stronger cooling capability. Otherwise, they are the same.

the only difference is that the low-profile one will take just 1 slot to fit in the case...instead the other one is taller and will take 2 slots. Buy the low-profile one only If you are going to put it in a very small pc case... :)
