Not low profile (LP), not small form factor (SFF) not information technology extended (ITX) which means a small motherboard and abbreviated dimensions. It isn't a long card and it looks like its 4.5 wide x 8 in long x 2 slots. Should fit in an ATX case or a compact ATX case, typical of most mainstream desktops bought at a big box store. The longer derivations of RX 560 have two fans almost the size of the one larger fan. Larger fans move more air at lower RPMs and produce noise in lower frequencies so they are quiter than two smaller fans running at higher RPM. This graphics card is dead even with the Nvidia GTX 950 except the 950 had 2 GB of memory, not 4 GB. The RX 560 is a good card through 1600X900 resolution in the great majority of games. It is not powerful enough to do 1920X1080 (Full HD) in a high motion, first person shooter type game that involves constantly moving shapes, textures, lighting, smoke, explosions and other players moving all over the displayed game stream, But it will still play tough games at 1280x720 or 1024x768. This card would work well in a home theater set up because it doesn't draw a lot of power (75 watts as supplied by the PCIe slot per standardized electronic specification). It would be relatively quiet because of the single large fan and the nature of movies that require very low processing by a graphics card (the streaming data has already done all the work and the card just has to display it). It is based upon a 3 million transistor Polaris 21 chip that has 1024 processing cores, 64 TMU's and 16 ROPS using 4GB of GDDR5 (Not the fastest but still pretty fast) with a 128 bit memory bus (not constrained internally in the flow of processed data). Its a good card and a good value, properly priced, not scalped. It requires hooking up a 6 pin dongle from the card to the power supply. Its just there to smooth the power draw but its rated for just 75 watts of it which the MB will usually provide. FWIW, I had an XFX card for 10 years and when it finally failed, XFX offered to repair it if I would pay the shipping. The card was circa 2006 but was top of the line. Had a lot of fun with it so XFX didn't owe me a thing. They stand by their manufacturing. This card is vastly superior to the $200 card I bought in 2006.

Pcie cable ?? required if yes then wihch + which?

PCI-E power adapter cable is included with the card, you will need at least 500w psu to run it.

come with the driver disck?

To be honest I don't remember if there was a driver disk or not but it does not matter. I use the AMD installation software I downloaded from the AMD website. Once you install that software and install it, the software will recognize the installed video card and recommend the appropriate version driver needed.
