Question Low profile single slot 4GB graphics card

[Geos54]

I got a 42MP camera and the large files are bogging down my post processing so I want to upgrade my cheapo Radeon R7 430 for photo editing and basic video editing, no gaming. Recommendations for a single slot card for 2 monitors in the $100-$150 range appreciated. Linux support also would be nice as I'd like to ditch Windows once and for all.

HP 400 Elitedesk G8 16GB, 500GB, Intel i5 10500, Win 11.

RX 6400 4GB, or RTX 3050 6GB

Edit: Oh, I think ARC A310 single-slot LP fits the bill too, make sure that it doesn't need supplemental power.

I think all the low-profile RTX 3050 6GBs are dual slot, not single slot.

Thanks for the correction!

T400 4GB should be less than $200. Use hybrid graphics in Linux and NVIDIA drivers shouldn't be a problem at all.

I use Fedora 39 - all I had to do to get both Intel and NVIDIA graphics working is first install the i915 intel drivers, add the NVIDIA repo from RPMfusion, download and install the NVIDIA driver and sign the driver because I use secure boot. The steps to follow are straightforward, and are available online.

Any thoughts on the NVIDIA Quadro P1000? Specs look promising.​

Older Quadro cards are a perfect fit IMO. The low end models like the T400 that a few others have recommended get all of their power from the PCI bus so there's no concerns with power either.

Thanks for all the recommendations. I went with the T400 because of Linux support and I got a great deal on a used one, $90 on ebay.
