This is my question? I want a single slot gpu that runs cooler then my 8800 512mb does and better then the 4290 512mb internel gpu that I have in my new pc.

At the moment I'll say money no problem I just want to know is there a gpu out there that is better then the 2 I have mention and it has to be a single slot card. Wich of the 2 that I have mention above is better far as graphis go cause the 4250 really looks great. The graphics just seem to pop out at me.

I'll have to go into my profile that I have and chang what pc that I have.

This is what I have AMD Phenom II x6 2.8ghz Asus m4a89gtd pro/usb3 with 4gb DDR3 4290 512mb 1tb hdd ultra 750watts Cooler master 932 haf.

This mobo you can look it up if you aren't familer with it but this is what's holding me back from gettting a really nice gpu cause the pci-e 2.0 slot is just about on top of the pci slots and even if I didn't have anything in those slots my psu would be in the way. So I'm hopping that a single slot gpu card would fit. I need to test it out by putting my 8800 in there but it runs soooo hot I'm not sure if it would stay cool enough and I don't want my room to feel like a dryer with all the heat that could or would be comming out.

Ok every person out there or who ever says a x6 is no good for gaming well for a fact at least mine does great.

So it is a AMD Phenom II x6 2.8MHg 4 GB ddr3 Win 7 64 bit home edition a asus m4a89gtd pro/usb3 mobo Hatichi 1 TB HDD a dvd\cd rom an internal gpu 4290 radeon ati I think but not sure.

I just got done playing Supreme Commander Forged Alliance with graphics at like medium some on low and off even not sure what rez it was at but it wasn't default rez onbord sound I used and it was very nice.

This mobo comes with a core unlocker and a gpu booster turbo 4 and 5 I believe but at any rate if you are trully are interestied in knowing what all this mobo has just look for it on the net.

I'm using a HDTV 32" for the monitor and I do have mouse a key board already.

Any how I don't plan on ocing any ways and if someone does say that there x4 is better then my x6 well tell me this will it ever magically turn into a x6 from a x4 with out having to change the chip physically. If so I would love to know how it would be done but if now well then mine is better and would kick your pc any o day as long as it wasn't oced but any how this is just how I feel.
