Low profile graphics solutions are not new, but most of these parts use low-end GPUs, which means that they end up being not much more powerful than the onboard graphics they’re meant to replace. Today we’re looking at one card that is more powerful than we’re used to seeing from low-profile cards. The Galaxy GeForce 9600GT Low Power Low Profile 512MB aims to provide decent mid-range gaming performance in a slim and svelte package.
The addition of video playback acceleration to graphics cards in recent years has also opened up a nice market for otherwise underpowered low-profile graphics solutions. The Albatron GeForce 9500GT x1 256MB targets just this market. Seeing its PCIe 2.0 x1 interface quickly brings Atom motherboards to mind… The specifications of the cards are listed below. For reference we’ve also listed the two cards’ standard-sized counterparts. The picture above shows the card in a standard-height configuration, but surely you didn’t buy this card only to use it in a full-sized setup? After some quick bracket changing, we finally got the Albatron GeForce 9500GT x1 as it was meant to be used.
