Anyone interested in a low profile video card to put in a HTPC or other small form factor system should read our evaluation of the Galaxy GeForce 9600 GT. You'll be glad you did!

​

For those niche systems like the small form factor Shuttles and Dells, and even more importantly are the low profile home theater cases configured to fit in with other stereo components, the Galaxy GeForce 9600 GT LowPower LowProfile is perfect. For these, it seems like this video card will match it perfectly and improve your Blu-ray performance, DVD upscaling quality and performance, and transcoding performance while providing an HDMI port for connecting to your TV easily.

Its a nice card and its lower power, making it a direct competitor for the HD 4670; however, the price is quite high since because of markup, at $140, its really not worth it.

no it's not $140. it's alot cheaper,

Oh yes, I'm such a fan boy seeing as the only dedicated card I've ever owned was a MX440.

I checked the link.. and they linked to Best Buy of all places.. hahaha!!

Still, its not a bad deal, but why did they cheap out on the cooling for these!! No RAM Cooling D: but nothing an aftermarket can't fix

 

[philbar71]

well my guess is since it's the LP edition then it does not need extreme cooling. it uses less powr so it makes less heat.
