You can? Both the RTX 3050 and RX 6400 come in single fan form factors not much longer than a PCIE slot. Anything weaker than that is getting beaten by AGUs.

- rascul 4y agoFor reference, there used to be low profile cards available barely longer than an AGP slot. For example, here's a low profile Nvidia Gefore4 MX440 (I used to have one of these): https://c1.neweggimages.com/NeweggImage/ProductImage/14-135-135-09.jpg https://c1.neweggimages.com/NeweggImage/ProductImage/14-135-... > Anything weaker than that is getting beaten by AGUs. Is AGU the GPU on the CPU thing? Is it not possible (or maybe not profitable) to put something a little more performant than an AGU but doesn't need such a massive fan on a full size multiple slot card?
- kenhwang 4y agoAPU*, for accelerated processing unit. Essentially a CPU with integrated graphics, but the graphics cores can also be used for traditional CPU computing if it's not being used for graphics. They can't put anything bigger because they run into heat, power, and memory limits.
- goosedragons 4y agoThat's basically what the Radeon 6400 can be. Here's the low profile version: https://www.powercolor.com/product?id=1640245090 https://www.powercolor.com/product?id=1640245090 Barely longer than the PCI-E slot and only needs a single slot. The Radeon RX 6400 is basically AMD's high end integrated GPU on a card being very similar to the Radeon 680M in Ryzen 6000 chips. But I think the dedicated memory offers an improvement over the APU solution.
