Hi Community,
I'm looking for a new video card for my HTPC. It's a A10 7870K and up till now I used the APU internal R7 graphics to play games and to watch video streams.
(About everything from Jump&Runs like Giana Sisters Twisted Dreams to games that need higher performance like Battlefield 4)
I play the games at 1080p (TV resolution) and the APU internal graphics card is managing that feed only up to a certain point and so I always have to turn down the quality settings, to get decent framerates in the more GPU hungry titles.
The big problem I have, is that the PC sits in a very narrow space unter my TV and so i had to choose a slim HTPC-Case (Silverstone ML-03b). It only has support for Low-Profile extension cards (dual slot is no problem).
So I'm looking for a dedicated GPU that fit's in a low-profile case, that offers low noise generation during things like streaming (I'm very picky with noise). I would like at least about PS4 like performance (1080p@30fps in modern games with decent quality settings)
Until now I found a low-profile GTX750Ti from Gigabyte and one from KFA^2, that I think would offer enough performance, but they both have very small fans and so I think they will be too noisy for a HTPC. Does anybody has experience with low-profile video cards and could offer me some advise about the cards i already found or some other options.
