I was given a brand new HP Elite 8300 for free as a present.
What is the best low profile pci express x16 card i can use for some games.i only really play old racing sims like GTR, Race series GT Legends etc etc..

The psu is only 240w so im limited i guess...
getting another pc is not an option as i was given this for free dont wanna have to go buy something else now

I have searched this site but only found results from 2010... wanted to know whats avail currently..

cheers
Jeff

Since you have a 240w PSU which is not great, the most you could get is a GT 210 for Nvidia. I looked at the 4 digit cards but they still suck up too much power.

Or the HD 6450 by Radeon. One of their worst cards but will play the older games.

You can find low profile Nvidia Geforce gt 610 cards with 2mb and all the good shaders and stuff if you look. Go to Ebay. I bought 3 for our 8300 units and our new games run fine. Not as K/A as our full size and higher end cards but for no added power connection and everything else that comes on these cards, WOW. Well worth it and they're cheap as the 210 with way more horse power and architecture.
