Single Slot GPU -1440p@144hz? (lemmy.world)

Hi All, I am trying to find a GPU that is single slot and generally fairly small, that I can plug DisplayPort into and get 1440p@144hz. I currently have a Quadro 600 and the DisplayPort doesnt seem to support 144hz. That or I am doing something wrong on Ubuntu 22.04.

Additionally, I don't need it to be super powerful at all, I'm passing through at 3070 to a win11 KVM with looking glass that I'll be connecting to.

It makes more sense now why you can't get to 144hz.

Displayport 1.2 seems to be able to go up to 1440p@144hz when it's 8bit color. This basically means any graphics card after 2010. You could probably pick up a cheap R7 450 or FirePro W4100 secondhand. Just make sure that the Nvidia drivers are removed and you're running open source drivers before swapping. Afterwards, amdgpu is generally the best driver for the aforementioned GPUs.

If you need more than that then you'll need a graphics card at least as new as the GTX 10 series or Radeon RX 400 series.

Thanks for the reply! Ended up doing some more research in the meantime and decided to just upgrade my mobo to full ATX so I can run two 2-slot GPUs and a coworker is just giving me an old 1050 which will do the trick..
