You need to provide more information. We need to know your CPU and RAM as those can bottleneck your gpu's performance.

is probably the best low profile card on the market, although it has mixed reviews. If you plan on gaming you need a larger case for airflow and cooling

You computer brand and model number (if pre-built) would help. Power supply info (if you know it - we might be able to get it from your PC model number).

there are charts on this site, check to see what frames you might have (they use a different system)
