Looking to buy a single slot GPU for media center workloads, and maybe to fit into a MiniPC or SFF 10" rack build.

Current options:

XFX RX 6400

  • Seems like the best overall option, considering it's hard to actually get/buy the Yeston model

  • Seems like the best performing option, not sure why you'd want this though. Just go with bigger GPU if you want to play higher performing games, or stick to the Intel one for media playback/transcoding.

There was supposedly a Flex line up of Intel cards, but I can't find those anywhere. And there's also this particular GPU (which I also can't find?):

What kind of workloads are you specifically looking at that requires a dGPU ? Asking as if it's just transcoding, even the iGPU will suffice.

Transcoding would be an almost continuous workload, and some light game streaming as well.
Immich would probably use it for its ML Model as well.
The reason I don't want to focus on the iGPU is simply because:
* The chipset might not have one, or might have a very weak one.
* Since the CPU might be under load due to other stuff, also running its iGPU might heat it up even more (as is the case for AMD APUs ime)

Nvidia RTX A2000 single slot cooler | n3rdware

You can now use your RTX A2000 in extremely small cases like the Lenovo ThinkStation Tiny, Minisforum MS-01 or other cases that only allow low-profile, single slot PCIe cards! Replace the original cooler with this full copper, single slot version and you're good to go.
