Is ATI's 5750 a Low Profile card ?? because it looks like one but isnt listed as one.

[supergeek101]

It's not a low profile card. http://www.overclockersclub.com/reviews/xfx5750/. What picture are you looking at that shows it as low profile?

It has a small cooler but it takes up more than one slot worth of space vertically. I don't know why they didn't use the reference 4850 type cooler

because bigger is ALWAYS better

and ya those arn't low-profile

I'm not saying it's not better but I'd imagine the 4850's cooler would have less to manage with the 40nm under the hood.

Sure it's 40 nm but the transistor count is nearly double. The 4850 cooler would just cook them.

and yet the performance isn't that much better , but you do have a point.
