Looking for some advice for additional vMix computer at my church. We have our main system in our video booth that is awesome. I need to do an additional computer for our Radio Show that is another part of the building. I am trying to re-purpose a WIN7 Pro 64 machine that I have. It is running on a i5 3470 processor and 8gb of RAM. My question is on the video card. It has a PCIe x 16 slot . Any recommendations on a low-profile video card for it? We will only be using 2 Logitech usb cameras on it and streaming to FB live.
Thanks
Craig

A little confused here. The 2nd PC is for a radio station? Are you sending video for the radio station? Or just audio?

Craig What video card is currently in your second unit and have you done any testing? Perhaps it can meet your needs without spending any extra money. Have you checked this link? https://www.vmix.com/software/su....aspx#systemrequirementsIf you need to buy a video card, perhaps you can find a low profile version of one of those recommendations. low profile video cards - Amazon

Sorry let me be more specific. It is a radio show that we also simultaneously live stream to facebook video. There is no video card in there now only the on board Intel HD2500 graphics of the i5 processor.

I don't know what your budget is but if space in the case is an issue I'd probably go for something like this. Amazon GTX 1050 GAMING
 Another option is you could use the opportunity to upgrade the graphics card in your main machine and demote the current card to the radio show machine.
