Does it have to be low-profile?

what do you mean with low profile? My budget isn't so much so that's why I want one of these cards
And I'm really thinking of the Club 3D one, that looks good!

I have same card in my Old pc

its also a good choice but i dnt think morden warfare will run

or on medium setting

4770 in 82euro (i think)

Does your case fit full height card like this?
A Low profile (Half-height) card looks like this

His 230W would barely run a HD4670, an HD4770 would just be too much.

 

[pri_cha_lalla]

U r right Timop

either upgrade PSu

or go mainstream cards

So from what I understand, if I want to buy the Club 3D card I have to buy a better PSU?
