Is the Galaxy GTX 750 Ti Slim you are referring to this one?

The rear bracket is a single slot but it does use...

with single-slot cooler too, the galaxy 750ti you mentioned is going to be the fastest that you'll find.
Only thing faster would be a single-slot with a dual-slot cooler, would still be the 750ti but probably at a higher clock, or atleast more overclockable because of more heat headroom.

So yea, you've actually already answered your question :)

The rear bracket is a single slot but it does use 2 slots internally as the cooler juts out if you look at the photo.

The best one that I've found for rear single slot and probably the thinnest card that I could find that could be modded for a passive heatsink experiment and it also matches the 3 display connectors on the Galaxy.

Note this is a standard GTX 750 OC non Ti.

Most of the GTX 750 and 750 Ti models I've seen are dual slot rear brackets which turned me off or had the wrong video connectors. I like the VGA, DVI-D,and HDMI display connectors all on one rear bracket. I can use the 2nd rear slot freed up for hooking up a 4 port USB bracket. This card is great for my legacy and HTPC purposes, runs on only 55 Watts Max TDP (no PSU upgrade required for 300 Watt PSU), and no extra PCIe power connector either to hook to the video card. It is 4 times more powerful than my older single slot AMD HD 6570. It can't do SLI which is the only thing I wish they added to this card to make it more versatile and upgradeable.

I just got mine recently for $125 Free Shipping and Tax Free.

They are located in New York.

When it arrived the original manufacturer box had some dents probably before they packaged it.

The shipping box was sturdy and had plenty of bubblewrap surrounding it. Amazon tends to just toss it into a large box with a few air pockets which would have arrived in even worse condition.

I would have preferred an undamaged condition manufacturer box but I am really excited about this card and can't wait to modify it passively in a future experiment. It's the first nVidia graphics card I'm excited about due to its performance per watt efficiency. I want to do some tests first with the fan still intact to see how well it performs compared to the HD 6570 and if it truly is 4 times more powerful.

The VGA port is awesome combined with the Digital optical TOSLINK audio out. I can avoid HDCP and HDMI headaches when watching Blu-ray movies or playing games.

Also regarding the best single slot that you can't buy in America yet. I asked about their availability and they couldn't give me a date. It might be 6 months or it might not come. I remember the Sapphire HD 7770 Ultimate prototype that never released.

This link shows a better angle of the video connectors.
