Small Form Factor Graphics card?


Recommended Posts

Hey guys

I have a small form factor pc, with an Intel I5 processor which has the HD 3000 graphics built in.

Basically I want something better for graphics (looking forward to Diablo 3)

Something I can switch the graphics up on games a bit, also some older Valve games eg Half Life 2, hate the intel integrated graphics and crashes :(

I don't have hundreds but if anyone could recommend something that's small form factor or has any useful information that would be great

Thanks

There are several NVIDIA and ATI cards that are small form factor or low profile cards. Depends how much you want to spend and if you are going to be playing any more games than D3.

You're a little limited by the small form factor cards, but this one is a cheap and will probably get the job done:

Otherwise, if you have some room to work with, this will definitely be your best option in the $100ish price range:

Edit: obviously you'll have to find a place that ships to the UK.

    • low latency mode is still bugged and causing bootup times slow to a crawl. To fix, you have to disable the feature with vivetool. Seems as though it's not rolled out to a lot of people yet since I've only been able to find only a handful of people that are having issues.
    • I would recommend the Nothing 2a. The battery life is awesome, 2 or 3 days without going into battery power mode. The only thing that I've been looking into recently is that it doesn't "support" Graphene OS. I'm pretty sure there is a way, I just need to do some more looking.
    • You'd have to show me an example of a listing that says Gen 1, usually i'd expect that to mean Snapdragon Gen 1 (a type of chipset, which the Pixels don't use). Pixel 7 - White - 128gb - Unlocked - 85%+ battery - Grade B+ - $159 with free delivery - https://www.ebay.com/itm/398046617206 Pixel 7 - Obsidian - 128gb - Unlocked - 80%+ battery - Very Good - $157 with free delivery - https://www.ebay.com/itm/355617734563 Both look to be sold by companies with good feedback, dealing with refurbished phones and state the phones are unlocked with a clean IMEI. Obviously I can't vouch for either company though, but the listings look good in my opinion.
    • Because Chrome is doing it. And no one said anyone had to update immediately. That's silly. They could update every day for all I care as long as it's fast, and the next time the browser restarts, you're good. And the basic point is not to tee it up for bigger updates. As it is right now, all the windows I had open reopen anyway except inprivate.
    • Why? Does anybody actually want this? The constant need to close all browser sessions and wait for a new version to install, just so that there’s a integrated coupon manager feels like a waste of everyone’s time
