I keep an old GT 730 2GB (Zotac fanless) around as a backup card. Because it's low profile and has only a 23W power draw I call it "ol' reliable".

Hi All, dam i missed this video release last night and just flicking through it while having a coffee at work. Nice work on the variety of cards. I have read all the comments to now, and i just need to add that the HP8200 and I5-2400 is a bit modern for a retro computer, but the beauty of these machines is that they are plentiful and cheap, also they wont really have the capacitor plague problem. I purchased one of these machines after watching Phils video almost 12 months ago, it was originally set up with fresh windows 10 and i used dos box for the older games. Since then i have reformatted the hard drive , installed Dos 6.22 on the first partition, Win XP on the second and Win 10 on the third. Obviously old dos games will run but the speed sensitive will not even doom 1 and 2 crashes as the clock speed is to fast but that is what Zdaemon is for as well as the fan made recompiled windows versions of Duke Nukem and Command and Conquer engines. Back to the point, having a modern machine that can play the older win95-XP games is a excellent proposition, my machine has the GT1030 SFF card, but for XP i just use the standard VGA drivers it is a bit of a compromise as i might as well be using the onboard video chip, but the GT1030 is great for when using Win10 When i get home i will watch it all and also listen to it. Regards George

I have the And Radeon Hd 8570 with this same exact PC. I love my build and I am planning on buying more games in the future. I love your Hp Elite 8200 videos. They are super high quality and amazing!

I really enjoy my amd 7570 GDDR5! I found it for only $20 CAD and it's great for older games using windows 7 as well. My Steam and GOG games run really well. The Ghostbusters game from 2009 runs so smoothly. On emulators, it's really fast with my i5 2400. Windows XP was an excellent OS as well. I ran it on an older laptop for 4-5 years that came with Vista. XP was made for older games.

Hi Phil, great video like always! I really enjoy the thorough analysis you do in these kinds of tests. One thing I would like to point out, which can perhaps be a topic worth exploring in the future, is that Nvidia cards usually have far less cpu utilization over OpenGL and DirectX8-11 than AMD. Although I really like AMD, their architecture definitely shines the best with newer APIs like Vulkan or DX12. But building retro gaming PCs however, Nvidia has always had the edge when it comes to removing CPU and memory bandwidth bottle-necking, since their DirectX and OpenGL implementation has always been far more efficient on software side of things. The reason for this is basically that GPU instructions are constantly checked with the CPU main thread on these older APIs. (OpenGL being even worse than DX11) This wasn't really a problem with high clocked single- or dual-core CPUs when most people were running 480p-768p, but as graphics hardware grew stronger, our screen resolutions larger, the main thread got much easier filled up with GPU-instruction checks. Especially since these low profile systems tend to have lower clocked CPUs. Because of this nvidia is usually a safer bet when creating retro systems if you want to get the most out of your CPU. Unfortunately I have no experience in this matter when it comes to Windows XP. But perhaps it's worth checking out.

Thanks for all the great feedback and tips. It made me write a dedicate page on our website for this project. It will allow me to add more cards in the future :D Here is the link: www.philscomputerlab.com/low-profile-video-cards-xp.html

I love the 7570 for budget huilds, it's usually about half the price of a GT 730 (in the US anyhow) and they overclock fairly well. Nice roundup Phil.

Thank you Phil! This is awesome! What is of particular interest to me is the comparison of the Radeon HD 7750 and the HD 7570 (both with 1GB of GDDR5). This is a very close direct comparison of the AMD Graphics Core Next architecture vs AMD Terrascale architecture. I also just picked up two matching EVGA 8800 GT Superclocked 512MB single slot cards to run in SLI. Which is era appropriate and will perform about like the 60 FPS group, maybe a little better.

Hi Phil, I love your really informative, premium-presented content very much & you've helped me out in several cases to choice parts for my Retro-System-building. I'm hoping now, that I can give you an advice for the GTX 750 in low profile format for the HP SFF and it's weak PSU from my own experience: Don't search for it, because it's not only rare, the available models mainly doesn't fit the HP-specific power-support of the PCI express-slot (only 35W in opposite to the mainly specified 65W). My own, with high expectations bought KFA2 GTX 750 TI OC in low profile format (but 2,5 slots widht, no extra power-cable needed) ran like a racehorse, but in the first benchmarking it frozes my whole PC after only 1,5 minutes or so. No BSOD or error-message, just frozen - only to "shutdown" via unplug the power cable in "the hard way"was possible. I did a little bit investigation and I found out, the "spikes" in power-consumption are too high for the HP-PSU (you know, we have to live with this in such SFF-builds), so that I've to bought another card. Luckily I found a pretty good alternative, the GTX 745 from an OEM-build (in germany called Medion), which will do the job in very good manner. A little bit lower performance, but no freezes of the system and only 1 Slot width. It's offering DVI-I and HDMI only, but who cares about VGA? The best wishes from Germany to the wonderful Australia - keep up the great work, Phil!

Awesome job! Its very helpful and incredible job. Can I use all of the cards in my dell optiplex 3010?

You do such a good job on your comparison videos Phil. I would like to add... Best and most allround compatible for a SFF PC, I think is the GT 730. Make a note that Some of these older HP's LGA775 SFF boards, dosn't have 75W available on the PCI'E slot. So we want something that only draws about 30W. The GT 730 GDDR5. But if you are sure that the board can deliver 75W, a GTX 750(ti) LP is really good. Say welcome to a Crysis 60pfs PC !

Probably should be needed for my PC.

what about a gtx 745? i got one of them today and it seems to be a pretty solid performer. i'd be interested in seeing a review of it someday

I have a sandy bridge i5 that I still use for gaming now on modern games with no issues.

hmm would have been neat to see the quadro k2200 on here but awesome video

i tried the hd 7570 on my xp computer and i had to manually install the drivers through the device manager. it's really good when it works unfortunately the one i got may be near death because this particular card likes to crash to a solid blue or green screen with relative frequency.

I wish you would have thrown the AMD Oland cards into this mix. The HD8570, R5 240 and R7 240 would have compared favorably with the GT630/710 and the R7 250 has similar performance to the 7750 but is pretty much guaranteed to be low-profile. I’ve also found the 250 super easy to overclock all the way, safely, with a dual-slot cooler (also easy to find on ebay).

You could add the HD 8570 and potentially some of the K series of Quadro cards…not 100% sure on XP driver availability for all of them but might be worth a look. 😊

Hey Phil, have you heard Valve is dropping support for Windows XP in Steam at the end of the year? I know a lot of people making Windows XP retro gaming machine have a lot of their old games purchased through Steam, now might need to find alternative sources for all those purchases.

There is also a unobtainium kfa 950 low profile(xp driver on the nvidia website)

Very good video! if you have to go low profile I bet this will help people alot :) But me personally I prefer to go with something from the XP time, like a X1800 or X1900 series card from ATI or a high end 7000 or even better a high end 8000 series card. It just makes me feel better when all the parts in the computer match timewise :)

Even though the GTX750 you have is the overclocked model, you should still be able to overclock it further still. Every factory overclocked card i have owned was able to overclock up to or more than 100Mhz on the core and memory. I also had the same GTX610 but with 2GB of ram and that overclocked over 200Mhz on the core and memory. Anyway looks like trying to find a decent priced low profile GTX750ti is going to be a challenge for a while. UPDATE, i was looking at prices for the GTX1050ti.

Even direct from AMD as the one offered on their site only provided the Catalyst manager without the Graphics driver. Also tried installing through device manager, but this didn't work either.

I took notes on the drivers :D Catalyst 14.4 Pack 2 is the one that worked for me. But, like I mentioned in the video, I had to install the drivers through device manager, it wouldn't work through the installer. My card is DELL OEM, so it's a bit picky. If you're still having issues, check out this Snappy Driver Installer, it will at least install the drivers, but not the CCC.

Hello will the hd 7570 be compatible with optiplex 7050 sff

what do you mean by "driver pack is 2 again?" when talking about the HD7570 drivers. Going to your list of drivers, it'd hard to determine which one you mean?

The final XP driver comes in 3 different versions, labelled as packs.

from where i can buy this connecter from gpu to my motherboard

Would a HD 7770 be comparable to the GTX 750/ti ? I recently picked one up for cheap and if it works properly, might make a windows XP retro gaming rig with it. Not sure if I should pair it with an i3 2100 or i5 3470S and how many cores/threads I should be enabling, does anyone know what I should be doing? lol

I use a GT430 in my low profile XP machine. It's faster than the GT610 but probably not as fast as the 630. It's amply fast for everything I need it to do. It's most demanding application is to serve as an extra machine for the kids to play multiplayer Minecraft. With the GT430 it runs that game basically just as smooth as my "heavy" gaming PC. It was a significant improvement from an HD4350 that I already had (and wasn't satisfied with). It also handles H.264 acceleration in the MPC-BE player. I found some old reviews which showed the GT430 used very little power at an idle desktop, and that was a key concern of mine. The whole point of my low profile XP PC is that I use it as an everyday low power system. If I'm going to play a demanding game, then I fire up the heavy tower XP machine. My "heavy" is a power hog, and it's S3 standby mode doesn't even work (it wakes up dead), so I prefer not to run that machine all day long, at least not in the summer months. The funny thing about GT430 cards is that the models that the review sites reviewed have faster memory than the cards that actually exist. So do research on the clock and RAM configuration of whatever specific card you look at buying. In my case I found that the fastest readily/cheaply available model was one from Asus. But open buying the Asus, the seller sent me a Zotac. I was irritated because I knew it had slower memory. However, it turned out to be a fantastic overclocker, reaching the Asus' speeds without any issue, so I kept it and have been happy with it. There is a major caveat with some nVidia cards when using multiple monitors. At least with the GT2xx and GT4xx cards that I've used, nVidia's drivers will lock the card into it's high power state when there are multiple monitors. There is 3rd party software called "nVidia Inspector" which can be used to override this behavior. You can then give it a list of executables that should trigger the high power state. The software can also switch power states based on the amount of GPU load that it detects, but I found that results in some irritating visual effects when it keeps switching too much, so I prefer to use the method of listing .EXE files. I don't think ATI has this problem.
