Spec me a single Card Solution

[AtticusFinch]

I'm looking to replace my 9800 GTX+ soon and would prefer a single-slot solution if possible for no other reason than better airfow around things in the case.

It's going into a fairly old but capable rig: [email protected], 8GB DDR2 with various HDD. This is used mainly for photoshop but occasinally WoW and various other games. Doesn't need to be the greatest thing out there, just want best performance from single slot.

Any help appreciated.

Best single slot I can come up with is the xfx 5770.

^ The above is correct.

Single slot, powerful enough, and all the feature that come with the 5000 series.

But if you wanted something more powerful.... supposedly there are rare single slot GTX 470's out there!

Ta muchly for these ideas - I see also there's a single slot 450 from Sparkle just released too. I gather that a 5770 ~ 9800GTX+ in performance generally? Wouldn't want the stress of the 470 with the heat/noise issues but good spot.

Thanks
