Whats the Best Card i can get that would fit in my Dell Optiplex 745, This is a PC my brother uses only to play Starcraft 2 and World of Warcraft so i dont want to upgrade anything else. just seeing if i can get something better than the 4650 i currently have.

http://www.dell.com/content/products...=28&l=en&s=dfb

my current specs are:

Windows XP SP3
Intel Core 2 6400 @2.13Ghz
2.0GB Ram
ATI Radeon 4650

The Case supports:

1 low-profile PCIe x16 graphics (H: 2.5" X L: 6.6") or

1 PCIe x16 graphics w/ Riser (H: 4.2" X L: 6.6")

Awesome, i think this might be the card i get.

but i hope it fits. Got this picture from another thread but my optiplex 745 has the exact same case. Will it fit?

says the HD5750 is 183mmx69mmx38mm

768mb gtx 460 is definitely the card you should get. It is nearly the price of the 5770 and it performs much better (and its also a short card).

Is there a low profile version of the GTX 460?

Not that I'm aware of. Why do you want a low profile gpu?

I don't, but the OP needs one for his Dell.

 

[hs101]

The height of the gtx 460 is 4.2", shouldn't it fit?

Edit: oh nvm its about an inch too long

uh.. did you look at the OPs pictures? theres NO WAY he could fit a card even half as long as a 460 in that thing. the CPU cooler is DIRECTLY in the way. OP: i wouldnt even bother trying to fit a decent GPU in there, there is simply not enough room.

The gtx 460 is known to be a short card, but yea its still 1" too long.

but look at the case. unless its low profile and is less than 1 inch longer than the PCIe slot, it will NOT fit.

I know I made a mistake and corrected myself on my previous post.

Palit makes a low-profile GTS 450 for less than the low-profile 5750. Here.

Still looks too long.

Man, that case is cramped.

And even if it were to fit, the airflow would be atrocious.

What about a low profile GTS 250?
