Is there any good low-profile Radeons from the Terascale 2-3 era?

I'm looking to build a pair of SFF PCs from the windows 7 era with a Phenom II and a Core 2 Quad with DDR3 in the tacky mid-late 00s/early '10s style.
I've gotten the nVidia PC's (AMD model) specs dealt with, but I'm theming the ATi PC (Intel model) around the aesthetic of the turrets in the Portal series and because they're both using rival companies' hardware like the in-game rivalry between Black Mesa VS. Aperture.
I found that nVidia's 9-series GPUs had low profile versions all the way to the 9800 models (I'm planning to use the 9600GT slim from Sparkle), but there doesn't seem to be much for ATi Radeons of the era. (Terascale 2 ideally)
Is there anyone who knows that the best Terascale 2-based GPU is that has a low profile version?

HD 6570 or HD 6670 would be some of the best of that architecture for low profile, i had a GCN HD 7750 2gb GDDR5 card in low profile it was a real beast for it's size back in the day

Radeon HD 6670 is available in low profile.

That sounds promising.

I have a ssf mount AMD FirePro W4100 2GB, dunno if that fits the bill

It might fit the bill, but the only issue is the lack of HDMI. Seems like FirePro is the closest to mid-range Radeons in hf-height.
But thanks for the possibility.

You can use passive adapters to convert to HDMI from mini DisplayPort

I was trying to sell this on eBay but it wasn't moving
