Graphics card advice
#1
Hi all,
I am in need of a low profiles graphics card with hdmi output that supports audio. I want to buy the best one possible for my rackmount computer.
I will then distribute the video through a hdmi matrix.

Any suggestions ?

Thanks

Do you need it for gaming or just for Blu-ray movie?

-This "SAPPHIRE Radeon HD 6450 1GB" should be good for Blu-ray movie...

-If you need it for some games too, this "HIS iCooler H775FN1G Radeon HD 7750 1GB 128-Bit GDDR5" should get the job done...

This "SAPPHIRE Radeon HD 6450 1GB" should be great for Blu-ray movie. I used to have HD6450 in my previous HTPC, and it can handles all the movies I threw at it...

It is a low profile card, and they usually included low profile bracket in the box. If not, you can buy a bracket- XFX Low Profile Bracket Kit Model MA-BK01-LP1K....

If you want to use Linux you should get an Nvidia card instead of AMD.
