A new low profile GPU in the medium to low performance range and still no single slot option. :3eyes: I think there is a market for low profile AND single slot GPU for HTPC mini-ITX PCs, some ppl needs to use the second slot covered by the GPU fan. The only options right now are very old and weak GPUs. :bang:

XFX came out with a RX 460 single slot. Think I saw someone making a GTX 1080 single slot. Dont know how well that would work out.

If you install a water block the card essentially becomes a single slots width. I took my 1080 FTW Hybrid, and put a EKWB water block on. The GPU is significantly thinner therefore it is possible to do at a price of course.

Except the I/O bracket is not a single slot. And most people are not gonna put a water block on a budget gpu for single slot in the first place. Most are wanting a the smallest form factor possible with single slot gpus. Especially low profile single slot.

I didn't knew that, thanks. šŸ™‚ Is this? http://techreport.com/r.x/2016_11_28_XFX_RX_460_Core_slims_down_to_a_single_slot/xfxcore.jpg I doesn't look like a low profile, i could use it in my HTPC (mATX) and gain a PCI slot but it's a little weak for my taste and not a real solution for Mini ITX users. A single slot 1080 (with a single slot I/O) will be way better! Here is a "shaved" 1080 example.This guy is crazy, WATERCOOLED 7x single slot GTX 1080 2x Xeon AsrockRack p4317q Octane Render WS computer: https://linustechtips.com/main/uploads/monthly_2016_10/DSC_5415.thumb.jpg.7ede916a9bcc5ccab513d3cefade6c31.jpg https://linustechtips.com/main/uploads/monthly_2016_10/DSC_5472.jpg.3a875d67f4cbf991d327d898dd5f857b.jpg

That is true, I never said it was practical. Laptops managed to squeeze a 1060 in slim form factor therefore it should be doable if they figure out the cooling.
