<div dir="ltr">Just in case anyone cares...<br><br>I got a hold of one of these cards and it did indeed come with a low-profile bracket. The component output works fantastic, and the card certainly represents brilliant bang for the buck if you need such a feature.<br>
<br>My only complaint is that the heatsink is a behemoth and certainly overkill; thanks to this it doesn't quite fit into my low profile case and it seems odd that Asus bothered including the bracket (the PCB itself is low profile). It also obscures the retaining clip on the PCIe slot. Fortunately it is easily replaced to that's the next step.<br>
<br>Thanks to those who did offer suggestions.<br><br>--<br>Jeremy<br><br><br><div class="gmail_quote">On Sat, Jul 26, 2008 at 1:39 PM, Jeremy Lamb <span dir="ltr"><<a href="mailto:nzlamb@gmail.com">nzlamb@gmail.com</a>></span> wrote:<br>

<br>The need comes about as I'd like a passive-cooled, low-profile card for my Myth box that features component output. Can anyone here confirm that it is actually low-profile? I can't seem to find any concrete information about it.<br>
<br>The other option, provided the rumours about Gallium3D bringing in hardware-accelerated decoding are true, is to get something based around the 8500GT. They are a bit pricier at the moment, is this perhaps a waste of time this early in the piece?<br>
