Question regarding the Radeon 7750

Nah , it's good luck for you . The new generation Nvidia GPU : Maxwell GTX 750 is available
Athough it's not labeled as a low profile card but it is a low profile card due to low power consumption (55W on load , same as 7750 GDDR5 but it's faster) , no need for extra power (6 pins /8 pins connector)

It looks like an awesome card but it won't fit on my case.

Could this be a viable alternative?

It comes with the low profile brackets too.

Did you look at the card? Only the length of the PCIe slot it mounts in. That can't "not fit" your case unless you're running wires over the expansion area like some sort of uneducated person who never knew the greatness of the cable tie.

If a 7750 will fit, so will that maxwell.

EDIT: Hell, as long as your case follows ATX spec (which it shouldn't not, and if it does, you should slap someone), that 250 will take up MORE practically unneeded space, and have a lot more trouble keeping itself cool, a problem if you don't have a high-airflow or low-ambient situation in your case.

My case requires half height video cards, so I don't thing the maxell card will fix but the radeon will. So should I just stick to the 7750?

This one will solve your problem

Ok now im really confused. Can you explain in detail how can I fit the card? Please excuse my ignorance.

You need to modify your PC case . I haven't seen your PC case form factor yet . So i have no clue though Tongue

The steam machine gave me this idea

My case looks like a Falcon Tiki from the outside but on the inside its just a regular case that accepts half height expansion cards like the Radeon 7750. I really wish I could just shove the GTX 750 but I can't unless I leave it haging around with the flex cable or something.

Could you show us a picture of inside of your case, or even a link to a review? I'm really curious what sort of case designer designs a case so that a very large amount of expansion cards that follow ATX spec nearly-exactly will not fit, especially when it only requires space for a card only as high as what is strictly required to be exactly on-spec.
