Need high powered low profile graphics card!

[RaMDOM]

Help me out guys, I have a small form factor PC to sell and have a buyer providing that it will be able to play Elder Scrolls: Oblivion.

Thing is, is that it is a low profile machine so needs a low profile card. I have looked on numerous sites and the most powerful low profile card I have found is an ATI 9550! Not good enough!

Are there any low profile cards that would play a game like the one above. The rest of the PC's spec fits the bill perfectly.

I've seen low profile Geforce 6600, but they "may" only be PCIe. Obviously can't say where I have seen them either.

x1800xl or a 7800gtx 256mb are both low profile single slot cards

Er no they arn't. They have single slot coolers but are not low profile cards.

It is normally difficult to find a low profile powerful card as the half height or low profile pcb doesn't have enough room for the cooler and all of the voltage refulators etc for the car to work properly.

If your on PCI-e you can get a 6600, but for AGP you're a bit screwed.

You can also get a low profile PCI 6600.

Here's a link I just googled, gives u an idea of what's out there http://www.computercare.cc/osc/catalog/index.php?cPath=49_54

Cheers for the help guys - will look into it.

The board is only AGP not PCI express - should have put that it initially - sry.

You can get raiser cards which slot into the AGP or PCI slots and turn to a right angle to the same plane as your Mobo. Then you can put in any card you like at a much lower height. Can't remember where I saw them though.
