works well

PNY Quadro P400 VCQP400-PB 2GB 64-bit GDDR5 PCI Express 3.0 x16 Low Profile Graphics Card
PNY Quadro P400 VCQP400-PB 2GB 64-bit GDDR5 PCI Express 3.0 x16 Low Profile Graphics Card

Pros: small single slot form factor, has nvenc support, cheap, supports low profile

Overall Review: I bought this for video transcoding, it is the cheapest smallest card that supports hardware transcoding. It works well after a little driver configuration (had to add a ppa for linux to get the driver that enables nvenc to work). Works in Plex, Handbrake ffmpeg etc. Most other cards with this capability are very big (double bay) and expensive...
