i ran HLSL stuff on a 750ti - it's not new by any stretch of the imagination but worked out okay.
that said, i bought a 1660 super in the midst of crypto for under 300 which is less than what i paid for the 750ti (350ish) when i bought it.
90% of the integrated graphics are good enough for spreadsheets and email but not really good for any kind of gaming. by the time you buy a good enough CPU (i'm talking 12900k or 5700G and higher) that can actually perform on it's iGFX... you might as well dump that cash into a GPU.

I want a compact solution. I'm tired of a huge tower inside my cabinet. Do you know if a SFF can fit a powerful GPU generally?

I bought a Minisforum B550, which has a GPU dock/bracket you can connect a full sized GPU and SFX power supply to. I use it with my old 1080ti for virtual pinball.

anything can fit anything given enough brute force and ignorance.
generally your limiting factor is going to be your power supply, and space available in the case...especially if you where to go with a prebuilt solution such as dell etc. half height video cards are available in several higher class GPUs. (not like 4090's or anything like that, but zotac makes 1650's in HH.) and short length cards are available across much of the board if you decide to go SFXish size

Me too-(no I7 currently - was it more CPU intensive than Blitz?
