Where to find graphic card for Dell 530s

Hello Everybody

Anyone knows where I can find graphic cards for the Dell 530s.
This is a compact size tower. A standard size graphic card does not fit.
I am not able to use high graphic settings or features like for games.
It is only a matter of card height. Stupid thing.
I think they call them low profile cards or so.

Thanks a lot

Here's your best bet. 9800 GT from Sparkle. 105$ which is pretty good for a 9800 GT in low profile. Make sure you can buy from Newegg though.

Newegg.com - SPARKLE SX98GT512D3L-NM GeForce 9800 GT 512MB 256-bit GDDR3 PCI Express 2.0 x16 HDCP Ready Low Profile Ready Video Card - Desktop Graphics / Video Cards





You could really game on this thing if your 530 even has a dual core pentium or something like it and it's in a low profile size so it'll most definitely fit. HDMI support as well.

Also, make sure you have the required connectors as the card only requires one 6 pin connector for auxiliary power.

Thanks a lot MDA400. I really appreciate.
I hope it will fit, the full height of my tower is 9.6cm.
Best regards

Yep.

Should fit. I mean, low profile is meant for media center pc's which are 1/3 of the width of your case even. Just make sure you have somewhat sufficient cooling.

With this thing, 112 shaders on this card and a dual core processor can run Gears of war PC or Bioshock at 60 fps at say, 1280 by 1024 or more like 50 fps at 1440 x 900. the DDR3 memory thats on the card, helps as well.
