Looking for a low-profile AMD GPU
Posted by SentenceSavings7018@reddit | buildapc | View on Reddit | 10 comments
Hey,
I’ve been trying to find a relatively recent AMD graphics card that’s both 75W and low-profile, but it’s proving to be quite a challenge. The most recent option I’ve found is the RX 6400, but it’s limited to PCIe x4, and honestly, the price feels like a rip-off. The RX 550, while an option, is from 2017 and only has 2GB of VRAM. There are also some decent blue Pro models, but they’re really outdated too.
I’m hoping to find something with 4-8GB of VRAM, at least PCIe x8, and ideally, newer than the options I’ve listed. Anyone have any suggestions?
I guess I could always dream about a low-profile RX 7400, but who knows if that will ever happen.

What about the Sparkle Intel Arc A380 Genie, 6GB GDDR6, Low-Profile, Dual-Fan, Dual-Slot, HDMI x1, Mini DisplayPort x2, SA380G-6G only $154. Ive been running a Arc A770 and drivers wise Ive had zero issues with any game ive played on it even playing BF6 at 4k on my living room tv with it recently at low of course. Dont know how much power you need but Intel is where its at for budget.

Unfortunately, AMD seems to have abandoned low profile completely. Would you be okay with Intel? The Arc B50 is low profile fault slot, and is 350-370. Not the most powerful, but very few low profile cards are.

yeah I wanted it initially, but the price is too high for me atm. there's also NVIDIA 3050 6GB, but that's the ultimate last resort

Yeah, sff gpu is a tough world. See if you can find the 8gb model for the 3050. That has popped up around 230 every now and then.

8gb would require a psu upgrade since its more than 75w

Damn, I could have sworn I saw someone run it off just motherboard power.
