Says it takes a

MSI GTX 1650 OC Edition Low Profile/SFF 4GB GDDR5 Video Graphics Card

So I'm curious as to what other video cards are compatible with the slot and size

Measurements are 168 x 105 x 37mm with the normal bracket and 168 x 69 x 37mm with the low-profile bracket.
 
That's just a small form factor PC case... I'm not really sure what you're asking here. It doesn't look like anything in that case impacts GPU compatibility so the specs on the website should be accurate for every config:
  • GPU max dimensions (LxHxD)
    310x145x47 mm
 
I'm looking for a card of nearly the same dimensions that would be beefier in spec's like 8Gb 2 HDMI Ports and usb ports or etc

I won all three for $225.00 to use with my GPD Win4 that has 32Gb ram and a 4Tb NVMe SSD

So I was curious as to what the biggest or best card is that would fit in it

Also I'm not sure if the card without the low profile bracket would fit in it seeing how your measurements differ between mine that I got off google.

your post isn't an external GPU it's just a PC case...
 
I did manage to find this and only 2 cards are suggested but it's from 3 years ago

Which one of does graphics cards would you choose for the Fractal Design Node 202?

I want to make a SFF Build and I bought everything exept an graphics card. My budget is around 500 Euros and it should run VR games. On my other PC I have an GTX 980Ti and VR is working flawlessly but I need this new computer for my living room. The case I am using is the Fractal Design Node 202 ...

Dude read the entire title of the listing and what part of I won all 3 do you not comprehend and understand?

The seller custom made it, pieced together the 3.

I don't know how that's not clear?

At least that's what I gathered.

I could be wrong though I suppose.

it's a SFF PC case with SFX PSU and low profile GPU and that's literally what it says and shows... nothing there indicates it's external GPU anything

Yea I have no idea why it showed up in eBay's search reults of a eGPU, that's a bunch of bull. LoL

I'd imagine with the modular psu I could build a eGPU maybe.

Probably more trouble than it's worth as the PSU would have to be jump started and then you'd need to buy an interface for PCIe to Oculink and mount everything.

So you're trying to build an eGPU out of a SFF PC? That's not really a thing.

If you mean something else, you'll need to be clear. You have to remember that we only know what you can tell us; just showing us an image of a SFF case, a PSU, and a GPU doesn't tell us much. We certainly don't know what you think you were buying, or what's inside since there are no useful images of the inside, or what the buyer told you, but there's nothing you've showed us or told us that has anything to do with an eGPU.

I mean all that's missing is a Thunderbolt to PCIe adapter board. Might also need something to control the PSU, but the adapter board may take care of that. May have to cut the back panel for connections. All in all not that difficult.
 
No now that I realized it's just individual pieces I'm hoping to return it. I was search for an eGPU case similar to that case with a beefier card like 2 dp 2 HDMI and a single USB c port, around 8gb or 12gb memory/ram, if I can't return it I'm just thinking optimistically of what I can do with the pieces

I've done away with a standard desktop and prefer to go about the way of expansion docks, hubs and eGPU

My main and only machine is a GPD Win4 32gb memory and 4tb NVMe SSD

So I'm looking around for a good eGPU that would have maybe 4 USB ports and is around the size of this or the size of the Sonnet Puck

What do you mean a "single USB around 8 GB or 12 GB?" A USB port doesn't have built-in storage or RAM.

I'm also confused as to the goal. Even if you have the lesser GPD WIN 4 with the 760M graphics, a GTX 1650 is basically a sidegrade, especially considering you lose a bit of performance with an eGPU setup.
 
Oops typing on screen keyboard I meant single USB c or thunderbolt and well video cards usually do come with memory... Yes 8gb's or 12gb memory.

I need to hunt down that Linus Tech Tips video where they used an eGPU with a m.2 slot and I think the put NVMe SSD in it, found it it wasn't what I remembered to be or thought it was.

The Asus RTX 4060 Ti idea of placing m.2 drives in it is an awesome concept. Combo cards

The end goal is to get a good eGPU setup and enclosure with a good selection of expansion spots and a good memory for gaming and a little music audio editing

Well okay so far I found that I like the Razer Chroma and Sonnet 750ex, really love the Lenovo G0A1 just not the price, the other two could be a couple hundred cheaper than it.
 
My idea now is to get the Asus RYX 4060 Ti

Now to find a enclosure that also offers at least 3 or 4 USB ports
 
From what little I've seen it seems like the Razer enclosures have some of the best compatibility. Ideally you'd want to get something that uses Oculink because it's faster and you could use your USB for a regular dock. This place seems to be the best collection of information regarding eGPU: https://egpu.io/
 
Well the GPD Win4 supports Thunderbolt 4 so that'll be good enough for me. I got the 6800u model, funny enough though as soon as I bought it a month later they released the 7840u. It was the most I'd ever spent on a PC even though this is a handheld gaming PC almost PSP styled clone with a slider keyboard.

That one does have occulink support.

Asus' Dual RTX 4060 Ti with an integrated M.2 SSD slot answers a question few thought to ask

It's not just a gimmick.
