Low power/profile GPU

[Woden]

I have acquired a desktop, the specs are decent enough for me, i7-10700, 8gb ram. Just needs an SSD and something better than the cpus IGP.

There aren't many options I think. The PSU is non standard, and while there is a pcie x16 slot, there's no free power. So anything I get well need to be run purely from the motherboard.

Any ideas? Nothing silly money £150 max. If I do get one it won't be for more than light gaming. Maybe star trek online at worst.

You can run both the GTX 1050 Ti and GTX 1650 purely off slot power and they come in low-profile/half-height versions but obviously they're not all like that - one of those I guess would be your best bet. The 1650 is faster. Actually finding one in stock for the right price might take some digging, though.

My son has a 1050ti and it's a remarkably capable card considering that it doesn't require external power.

Problem is low profile versions are really hard to find normally.

I know Gigabyte 750ti's were low profile. Good luck in finding a 1050ti or 1650 but I think you will either have to be very lucky or trawl the 2nd hand market.

I need to measure the internal space. It's not a big case but hardly tiny.

I'm in no rush but would like something better than the integrated graphics potato
