Best SFF Shuttle Graphics Card for under £100

[CuT]

Hi All,

Just a quick bit of advice required please. I am changing over my shuttle to a little more powerful one but cant move my graphics card as it is AGP whereas the new system is PCI-E.

Can you please tell me in your opinion what the best graphics card is to go for . It must be:

- Under £100
- Dual-DVI
- Vista ready
- Most importantly only one slot wide (i.e the fan doesnt stick out, otherwise i wont be able to close the case)
- Preferably nearly silent.
- ATI chipset (always liked them and like their dual support for playing full res video on the second screen)

I dont game that much so it hasnt got to be too powerful. I currently run a CONNECT 3D RADEON 9550 and that runs C&C3 without too many problems (plus it doesnt have a fan so is as silent as you get).

Thanks very much for any comments!

The X1950 Pro 512MB from Sapphire fits the bill perfectly.

It's a fine card.

Unless the Sapphire model has changed, I recommend doing a search about it if you're using a G chassis Shuttle.

As the card is fairly tall, some people have resorted to removing the hinged bracket that locks add-in cards in place. While others have managed to get it in without removing the hing.
