Gigabyte adds GTX 1050 and Ti OC Low Profile Graphics cards

A new low profile GPU in the medium to low performance range and still no single slot option.

:3eyes:

I think there is a market for low profile AND single slot GPU for HTPC mini-ITX PCs, some ppl needs to use the second slot covered by the GPU fan.

The only options right now are very old and weak GPUs. :bang:

 

XFX came out with a RX 460 single slot.

Think I saw someone making a GTX 1080 single slot. Dont know how well that would work out.

 

If you install a water block the card essentially becomes a single slots width. I took my 1080 FTW Hybrid, and put a EKWB water block on. The GPU is significantly thinner therefore it is possible to do at a price of course.

 

My prayers have been answered. Will be on the look out for one of these.

just noticed MSI has one as well.

 

Except the I/O bracket is not a single slot.

And most people are not gonna put a water block on a budget gpu for single slot in the first place. Most are wanting a the smallest form factor possible with single slot gpus. Especially low profile single slot.

 

I didn't knew that, thanks.

Is this?



I doesn't look like a low profile, i could use it in my HTPC (mATX) and gain a PCI slot but it's a little weak for my taste and not a real solution for Mini ITX users.

A single slot 1080 (with a single slot I/O) will be way better!

Here is a "shaved" 1080 example.This guy is crazy,

That is true, I never said it was practical. Laptops managed to squeeze a 1060 in slim form factor therefore it should be doable if they figure out the cooling.
