What's a good 6-7 inch video card?

[xpeh]

I currently have a 6.6" GT 240. My case can fit any height, but only a video card that's no more than 7 inches. What's a good video card That can fit? I have a mATX board and a six pin connector

What is your PSU? the six pin is for the big cards that won't fit I believe they are from 8 to 9". Depending what size your PSU is then you can figure out the what card to get. I prefer Nvidia cards but the AMD/ATI cards are more bang for the dollar in lower end cards. If your PSU is 300w then the biggest Nvidia card would be GT 440. It is inportant to know the size of your PSU. Most cards can be found on newegg.com, amazon.com, tigerdirect.com ETC. Or go to the manufacturers web site of the card and check out the specs and requirements. I hope this helps a little.

I have a 300 watt PSU with a 6 pin connector. I might trade it for a better computer.

If you want to game then invest in a 450w psu or bigger but again you have a cramped computer and when you go big psu and gpu there is more heat in the case and that you don't want.

I thought I saw a good card and it was not very long. I will look for it and come back and let you know if it will work on your system with the 300w psu.

Again you could get a beter system if you have the money to invest. Something to think about.

5670 ddr5 512mb! or GTS 450

The GTS 450 requires a 400w psu or better I don't know about the 5670.
