What constitutes a low-profile card? Through a bit of trial-and-error the Radeon 6450 seems to be one, but are there others?
Might be worth adding another tick / cross to the GPU popout?

Low profile cards are shorter so that they fit in small cases, that's it!

Ah, I wondered if it was the height rather than the depth... Which ones are low profile, other than the 6450?

There are a wide range of low profile graphics cards available, which are designed to fit in extremely thin cases (approx. half the height of a standard card slot).

Thanks - so if I want a mini-pc from PCS I need to buy a separate graphics card and send to them to fit into the case? Although a reasonable number of them seem to be 6450 variants anyway...

If you chose a "top spec mini PCS" you have plenty of GPUs to choose from.
