New Low Profile Graphics Card

[thesnake890]

Hello and thank you for your attention. Alright let me get straight to it.
I am looking for a new graphics card.
My computer is this one, HP Pavilion Elite 390T.
My current PSU can hold 460w.
I am looking to buy a 4gb Gddr5 graphics card that is low profile.
I have been looking at the Quadro cards but those are expensive. My budget is $150.
I am willing to get one that will connect to the 6 pin connector too though.
I just want the graphics card to be able to fit into my case. Thank you for your time in advance.

Your requirents from the graphic card put you in an awkward spot

You could look for a GTX750ti 4GB version but this will not be low profile

The gtx970 gigabyte or Asus mini

This is way above your price range.

Maybe wait for the fury nano, that's a low profile GPU but again, it will be out of your price range

I know this might be irrelevant but here are the full specs. http://h20564.www2.hp.com/hpsc/doc/public/display?docId=c02252382
And thank you! I was looking at the gtx's too, I saw a GT 740 superclocked.
Do you think this will fit as well?
Also what would be the AMD equivalent?

if the GT740 comes in a 4GB low profile variant then go for it.

An AMD equivalent would be the R7250x but that only goes up to a maximum of 2GB.

The 270x however goes up to 4GB but wont fit in your case

with your budget and limitations the best you can get is a 750 ti 2gb low profile.

why specifically 4gb?

You can find GT 740s with 4GB GDRR5, 750 Tis too, but that might be a bit beyond your budget.

and are not low profile

Thank you for so many replies! As long as it fits my case and handles the 460w of PSU I should be good.
I am looking for 4gb of gddr5 because I am looking to play in high settings for gaming, but would 2gb or 4gb be good as well?

For the cards that are available in low profile form, 4GB is a complete waste.

Buy a 2GB GDDR5 card and save yourself some money.

Will that be good enough for gaming?

It will be good enough for a card of that class. You'll be limited by the card itself before the memory becomes an issue.

The R7 240/250 or GT 730 (64bit GDDR5) is the minimum for playing games reasonably well at 720p/768p.
