Galaxy introduces lowprofile 9600 GT

If you plan to buy a compact case, you will have to take the size of graphics cards into account. Though most of the times there's no other choice than either to use the onboard video, or add a lowbudget graphics card, on some rare occassions there comes another card along. Galaxy has announced the 'Blade', a lowprofile graphics card based on nVidia's 9600 GT. The card has a small heatsink and gets it's power from a single six pin PCI-e connector. Since the blade uses the same G94 chip with 64 stream processors and the full 512MB GDDR3 memory, it's the same as nVidia's reference 9600 GT.

Galaxy's Blade features an HDMI and a TV-out connector. The HDMI output can be transformed to either DVI or VGA using adapters. Price and availability are still unknown
