Hello, i have an HP s3050.sc that comes with a card like this:
NVIDIA® GeForce™ 7300 LE TurboCache with
PureVideo (VGA/DVI-out, TV-out)
64 MB dedicated memory, up to 336 MB totally
available memory that is allocated by Windows Vista™
(text translated from swedish)
Pure crap, in other words.
I got a tip from sweclockers to buy either one of these:
I think they seem a little cheap, are there no more powerful cards with low profile ability?
Can I play, say Bioshock and Crysis with those above mentioned cards?
Allright I'll stay away from those cards, but are there any options when i need low profile?
However, I think most cards perform better than the one already installed.
On current configuration i got bioshock to run at lowest settings and with a little slideshow effect, maybe an 8600gt wont perform better than my current card?

Bioshock at lowest resolution is light. See 8600gts in Crysis, medium settings, no aa. http://www.guru3d.com/category/vga_2/ 18 fps is too low. It'll look like a slideshow.
Perhaps the best solution is to buy a new computer case and transfer your components over to it. It's fairly inexpensive and would give you the option of using any graphic card you can afford and your PSU would support. Your motherboard has a PCIex16 socket

If you want performance, get a regular ATX case instead of the low profile thing you have now, true high performance video cards don't come in low profile, you have a choice, low profile or performance, thats the bottom line.
