It's half the card space taken away. That means the card has to be 2x as long for it to maintain it's power of it's original. So a low profile GTX265 would have to be 2x as long, theoretically. That's why it's impossible to have a low profile high end card. It's always mid range cards that go low profile. lol, yeah thats why i'm building me a new comp at dell. so i'm going to pay 800+ for a brand new gaming computer and use my other comp as a work comp if i need to.

If you can read, I did say that theoretically, they would have to be twice the length, since it's height is cut in half. And because twice the length is just not possible, due to limitations of the case and many other factors, making a low profile high-end card is not an option. And I also mentioned that is the reason why only mid range to lower end cards are made available in low profile. Please read twice before posting once. I repeated what I said in my last post, verbatim, except I added a few words for you to understand easier, as I understand that your comprehension is very limited. Link to comment

I've been looking already i was up until 1am doing some research last night. just so you know.. you get really shitty parts in prebuilts..they give you minimum power...so you'll have to change GPU, and PSU...and you CPU will be poorly cooled so your gonna have to add that..that is if you go with dell or hp at least go to a website where you can customize the thing.. ibuypower or what ever..
