not at all, most HTPC are in DTX format (ITX like with full high and dual slot) it is perfect for this exercice.
if you want more rendering power the 1060 and even a 1070 exist too in this form factor (the 1060 6g is far than enough and get my preference)
if you want single slot it exist too in 1050Ti from galaxy and if you want low profile it exist with MSI...
As for this GPU, seems to me Zotac made a big mistake - what's the point of having a small GPU if it doesn't change what you can do with it? It is neither low-profile nor a single-slot GPU.

There are modern IGPs and ARM devices that can handle HEVC H.265 4K video playback. This GPU is likely overkill for a HTPC.

100% agree only low end GPU can't do video in 4k, it is more simple than game in 4k

OMG your still using old drivers with OC limits. Okay the GPU clock was probably going to be power limited with this board anyway but maybe some memory overclock would have given better results.
Guess we'll never know, a least not from this review.

125 Euro here with 2 games wich make more atractive price/perf as RX470 have the same price,
On the other side of the frontier (in france) it's the price of the non Ti with only 1 game
in Euro zone we don't have the same price from 1 country from other...
on the other hand 470 is 1 category above the 1050ti so if the 1050ti is at the same price +2 games ....might worth if you really want the games even then i believe getting the 470 and then waiting to grab the games on a steam sale or something seems a better option

Hi,
Was wondering how does the HEVC H.265 encoding/decoding performance rank up? Such a card would be ideal for a HTPC where one might want to do some nvidia based encoding or playback.
Thanks
