Solved To hardware gurus : Any equiv for old half height Nvidia GEforce GT610 video card.

Hi folks
Was cleaning an old Nvidia half height Nvidia GEforce GT610 video card but had accident with dog, cup of coffee and tripped and stamped on it (the card -- not the dog !!!) by mistake so broke it.

Is there anything around that is approx the same -- the main issue is it must be half height and have HDMI plus VGA output.
I'm not a gamer -- just need a basic video card that fits into a small space (half height) and does the job.

Cheers

Hi jimbo45

What you're looking for is called a low profile card. Your broken card is pretty basic and does not require any real power to run'
That said, given your location, the card below fits your criteria. not sure about shipping.

Fine they DO ship from USA to a lot of places -- this will fit the bill nicely. Actually got a Nato US colleague to order it for me -- paid him in USD --- All done so marking as solved. Thanks a lot -- "just what the doctor ordered"
