Need a smaller card than a GTX 560 with comparable power for small case

Kajigger · Mar 12, 2015

Hello,

I'm looking to go for a smaller case than the Thermaltake that I currently have. Taking up way too much space in my dorm room. I'm looking at something like this SILVERSTONE case: http://

If you know of anything like it that's $100 or less I would greatly appreciate it!

But anyway what I'm asking is if there are any smaller cards preferably about 3.5" tall that are comparable to a GTX 560 (Non-Ti). I don't game much but when I do it would be things like TOR and EVE, so pretty moderate.

Thanks in advance!

I assume the $100 budget is for a new case. If it is for the card this will be way to much, but it is designed with the small form factor in mind.

$100 for a case or gpu? This gtx 750 will out perform your 560 for $150 http://

Oh, yes it is the budget for just the case, but as far as the card, $360 is way more than I'm wiling to spend. I'd spend maybe $150 for the card if that's possible. I just need something that can compare to the 560.

Kajigger :

I just built a media PC using that exact case. The only card option I found that included the HTPC bracket was the Gigabyte GTX 750 TI

Newegg link to the card

It is $150, but again its pretty much the only "performance" card that I found that will fit that case.

Also as an FYI, I found very limited CPU cooler options that would clear / fit in that case. Especially if using tall RAM. I ended up going with the SilverStone AR06. Might save you some time trying to figure out what will fit.

Mr5oh :

The 750 looks like the best choice then. Do you know the dimensions of the case? I want to know if this would fit: http://

They're on eBay for about $90, so that's pretty good!

Dimensions of the Silverstone case you linked to are on the specification page on Newegg, it was larger then I expected, roughly the size of a VCR? If anyone remember how larger VCRs were.

You need to pay attention to which cards you are looking at, the amazon link you posted will not fit. You need a card that is half height, and includes the low profile bracket. Look at the images in the newegg link I posted, you'll notice the smaller bracket the gigabyte card includes. Standard cards of any sort will not fit in that Silverstone case you linked to.

Mr5oh :

Ah, so it would seem that is the best choice. Thanks!
