Graphics card for small form factor PC

bjam · Jul 9, 2014

I need help choosing a graphics card for an HP Pavilion Slimline s5302f. The graphics card must be low profile, work with the below power supply, and be able to play recent games.

Other info:
The power supply (Haven't ordered it yet): http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16817151090&cm_re=seasonic-_-17-151-090-_-Product
Also the stock processor will be replaced with an AMD Phenom II X4 840 that I already own.

Let me know if more info is necessary.

Thanks.

That's a good choice for the power supply. Go with something like this for the low profile GPU.

That GTX 750 is about the best low profile solution. Very low power usage and about as fast as the GTX 650 Ti or GTX 560 from previous generations. Definitely good enough for 1080p gaming at medium to high settings.

bccorrupt :

It would be a tight fit in this case, the card's fan would be flush with the power supply. Do you think that would be an issue?

It looks to me like the pci-e x16 slot is 2 slots above the power supply. Does your computer have anything in the pci-e x1 slot below it?

bjam · Jul 9, 2014

No, both slots are free. The card you suggested would fit; I am just concerned about the heat because the card would be in very close proximity to the power supply.

bccorrupt · Jul 9, 2014

It'll be fine. There'll be an open slot below it and the GTX750 uses a really low amount of power so it isn't going to generate much heat.

Ok, thanks for the help!

As someone who just upgraded their GPU this weekend and was also very concerned about being economical with my system's power, I highly recommend the GeForce GTX 750 Ti. (says the random stranger on the Internet).

I was running a Radeon HD 7600 (which came with my system) and getting 20 FPS on Medium settings. I'm running the 750 Ti on High-to-Ultra and getting ~40FPS (35 - 45), and whereas the 7600's fan was constantly spinning up, the Ti's fan is silent (but then it's also just a few days old

That said, my computer is hooked up to my 720p TV so my resolution is not set to super high, but I'm more than happy with what I'm getting now, especially compared to what I was playing with.
