All 3 are $99 on newegg as well if you want the ASRock. They have a low profile one there.

And one of them doesn't need the 8pin.

Just grabbed this to pair with the acer refurb posted last week for $300 - hoping it's an appropriate match for a productivity machine - never even heard of this card.
plz tell us what you find out.

I am looking to replace an older video card NVIDIA GTX650. It's currently sitting in a motherboard that has PCI 3.0 slot and I don't want to replace everything right now. I don't need gaming performance. I really just want to run dual monitors at 4k which my current setup doesn't support. I will be using it for editing photos and 4k video
You need Rebar on your motherboard in order for this card to work. If your motherboard is as old as your video card, it may not have it

Thank you for the heads up. They were purchased around the same time so it likely doesn't have it

My understanding is that it works without rebar, but performance takes a big hit. Rebar lets the CPU send larger data packets.

This could potentially be a good option as it supports AV1 encoding which is incredible. Might do some other research to see if the general gpu computing power is enough for you.

Can I use this one a Dell SFF build?
I also have a ryzen 1700 build and unsure if it works.

Remember hearing you need newer intel for this to work, not sure if it's true.

Cheapest AV1 card on the market, and better encoding quality/speed than even Nvidia. Gaming is what it is at $100-- a 1080p card, nobody else even competes at this price range, but if youre looking for more gaming performance the A750 at $180 is worth spending more for.
Intel please make a single slot low profile AV1 card, just forget gaming performance for it. Even if it's a bit more like $150ish it'd still be the perfect home media server card. Only thing that would make it even better would be passive cooling.

Received Acer Refurb TC-1750-UR11 today - unit looks good, lots of space inside.
300W proprietary PSU is the major deficit in the spec sheet.

Purchased this GPU last night on a whim, I didn't know intel was released its own card recently.
Appears there is a lot of confusion on the internet for its requirements with wild power min recommends starting anywhere from 450W and needs an 8pin connector.

HOWEVER, this specific ELF card seems PERFECT for the desktop application and I found one thread claiming 300W was the min. requirement.

I won't know for sure until next week when Sparkle GPU and extra 8GB RAM stick arrive.

You don't need ReBAR. Intel just says you need it because if you don't have it, performance is going to take a sizeable hit and they don't want their GPUs performing like crap and people complaining about it.

As others have stated, the ASRock A380s are also $99, so this isn't really a slick deal. But any of the A380s are probably the best new GPU you can get for under $100.

That said, an RX6600 is not that much more money in the scheme of things. Best GPU with respect to performance, cost, and power consumption. If any of those 3 don't matter, then sure, you can find something better.

But you do need a full/mid size case. I impulse bought an ASRock A380 because I was curious just how good or bad the Intel cards really are. And I have a WFH PC that's a slim profile, proprietary PSU design. Hopefully, it blows my existing RX560 away, and unlike AMD, the drivers are stable. (And yes, my drivers are up-to-date. And yes, I provided a mini dump to AMD with a call stack proving it was crashing in atioglxx.dll). I'ts something about Windows Remote Desktop. Never had recurring problems outside of AMD running Windows Remote Desktop. But bus powered GPU options are fairly limited. So, what can you do?

SFF generally requires a low profile card. See if you can handle a dual slot GPU.
This may work...

Not great for gaming but your limited by power and size. So might be the best you can hope for. Should be ok for 1080 if you lower some settings.

Make sure to update the MBs Bios Firmware to the newest version before installing.
