HP Slimline s3407c Wattage 180w. Good video card with DVI-D?

[IOwnASlimLineHP]

Hello all,

I just recently purchased the above computer. I was disappointed to see that the onboard graphics only has VGA and not a DVI port. [VGA signal Looks BAD on LCDs right?]

My other disadvantage is the power supply is rated 180W.

Are there any good PCI express x16 Video cards with atleast 128MB and DVI-D and/or HDMI and/or VGA?


Thanks,

You could try this card.

They are very low power, should fit a low profile case, and has HDMI.

(Note: I finid the "Crossfire Ready" description just too funny)

It doesn't explicitly state wattage rating WHAT IF IT BURNS MY PC's motherboard

I think low profile means small in size


Does Tom roam around forums?

It uses about 10w.

How can you confirm?

10W .... It' cant be so low..

Because I work for ATI and helped Design the Card.
There is a chance non-reference cards may vary slightly.

Sorry for being so paranoid.

But, this wont fry my new PC right?

Can you show me the it's specs showing power consumption / wattage requirement online ?
