Fastest low profile PCI-E card?

[Worthy]

Hi guys,

As title really. I have a PC that will only accept low profile cards and I'm looking to beef it up a bit in the GFX department. Does anyone know what the fastest low profile card available at the minute is?

Cheers

what is your max width, height and length? Low profile can mean anything!

Presumably he means half-height... If that's the case then the current available fastest would be a low profile 8600 GT, although there was a low profile 9600 GT announced a while ago, I've never seen one in retail.

I wouldn't mind knowing either.

Seen the 8600 GT for around £80. I take it will be stable with todays games?

A 9600GT from Galaxy was photographed last month but it doesn't appear to be available yet.

It isn't on their website yet..

Is the low-profile 8600GT still 128-bit?

Thanks for the reply guys. The 9600GT looks promising - I think I'll wait for that one.

And yes I did mean half-height aka low profile.

It's out

Well, it's started to appear in Japan. I'll keep my eyes open for when it pops up here.
