Length restriction on GPUs (poptalk.scrubbles.tech)

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!

If it's just for movies, consider an Intel ARC A380.

Small, cheap, great transcoding performance, and its drivers should be shipped by default with most distros. It really can't do games though.

use to be good for that personally used one as our daily driver on a 4k 60fps media pc up until recent updates a few months ago

without other tools like adaptivecpp and that is very experimental right now it a useless chunk of silicone
