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.

    • Yes for me, I installed 'old calculator' (Windows 7 calculator) in its place since it is more useful to me. I think paint is the only one I left installed
    • eh I'll wait for the June 2026 MVS ISO downloads which should be coming out next Tuesday June 16 and possibly contain build 8655 instead of 8653
