So, is anyone making a single slot GTX 460 or GTS 450? Would be awesome for the folders out there.

No thanks, I don't want my computer to catch on fire.

I heard a distant rumor a while ago galaxy was working towards a one slot GTX470.

I think it died in a fire. (epic pun

)

I could see a 460 or lesser being a single slot. Overclocking would suck, i would imagine. Nothing is stopping them, I mean galaxy made a single slot gtx 260.

OP the card is most likely to big and heavy to have a single slot hold it place
+ the card would burn up unless it was water cooled

Damn sexy too. tipsycoma sold one a few months ago on here.

Grab a bunch of 192-bit GTX 460's, strap on a water block, chop off the now-worthless vent and enjoy

Is there a bracket for the 460 if you go WC'ing?

Are you trying to take it down to a single-slot? I don't know if they make one...my best advice is a little tool called the Dremel.

 

[SecrtAgentMan]

Bah I don't like working with tools like that, my hand isn't steady at all.

I hope EVGA or someone comes out with a single slot bracket, I'd like that very much.

evga sells single slot brackets

Yeah, that'd be great if they did

Should work with the 450/460 as well.

GT 430 is single slot

 

[hodgoes2001]

lol.... hm.... a single slot Fermi would make a nice Physx card as well...

 

[ebolamonkey3]

Well, I did say GTX 460 or GTS 450, those don't run that hot. I think it's perfectly feasible to make a single slot card for those GPU. If they can make a single slot GTX260, they can do it for this.

Water cooling isn't feasible for cost reasons, when each GPU block is $70, that adds a lot to the cost if you have 4 or 5 cards cranking. If you can have a single slot 450 or 460, just grab a P6T7 (or better yet, SR-2) and slap 7 of them on there, and that's a ton of ppd right there.

If anyone is gonna try to attempt that feat, it's Galaxy.
They once sold a single-slot GTX260.

I guess single-slotters are not that bad afterall; look at XFX's SS HD5770.

For people using an mATX CF board like me, I can have 2 GPU's and still gain access to my PCIe X1 and my PCI slot.

It can be done but the money isnt out there to buy it. If your paying $250 + for a video card one assumes you would know what you need to run it.

Im sure they can make the dual slot 460 into a long single slot 460.

**** just get a 8800GT cooler Ghetto rig it and under clock your card problem solved. (+ a jig saw)
