Need a low profile low power video card

[MSgherzi]

Hi,

I need to find a very basic graphics card just so that I can have two monitors extend my desktop. This computer (HP dc5800 SFF) has a 240 watt power supply. I need to find a very basic graphics card that supports dual-display but does not require anything more than a 240 watt supply.

I am looking for PCI Express x16. The motherboard specifications also show that PCI Express x1 and PCI are also options (http://www.findlaptopdriver.com/3646h-hewlett-packard-mainbaord-specifications/). It needs to be low profile, but low profile ready would probably be a better option.


Any suggestions besides replacing the PSU?

Thanks in advance

Go to partsurfer.hp.com. Put in the HP model number off of the serial number sticker - in the form of aa123aa. HP usually lists all available parts for each model including options. Being generic type parts from a major OEM you should be able to find decent prices.

I've had good luck with EVGA 01G-P3-1302-LR cards. I've put them in plenty of machines with a sub 300W power supply with no problems. They come with low profile brackets.

Thanks for the replies.

I ended up going w/ a Radeon HD 6350 that supports DMS-59.
