Hey folks! Not sure where to put this, but since I’m doing this to install Bazzite soon, why not.

I have a HTPC that currently has an NVidia card in it. Since Gamescope doesn’t play nice with nvidia, I’m going to upgrade the GPU. I have a 6900XT in my primary rig, love the thing. here’s the thing though, I was going to put it into my original HTPC, but it was too long by about 0.5 inches.

Does anyone have either A) a recommendation on a GPU that can drive a 4K tv that is shorter than 12" or B) Know of any good sites that have a filter?

It’s a pretty intense machine, since the whole family uses it. I’m planning on about a grand for the new GPU, if it works like my 6900XT. Less is of course better, but I don’t want this one struggling personally.

Thanks for any rec’s!

    Skinflint has some options.

    I set the filter in that link to 300mm, which is a bit less than 12". If you actually have 310mm to work with, it would show more options including some from PowerColor, who made the card I’m using and am happy with.

    I suggest checking each model’s power jack positions as well. You don’t want to buy a card that barely fits only to find that there’s no room left for the power cables.

      Very good point, I’ve had that issue before but I forgot about it. I’ll have to make sure there’s space for those cables…
