Hi,

I broken my VGA output of my X10SRH motherboard.
I bought a Asus GT730 fanless (GT730-SL-2GD3-BRK) for use a 8x slot. In that way i did'nt loose the x16 (even if it's linked to x8)

But this card is really too thick, it's overlap 2 slots because of the heatsink.

Did you know a good small cheap graphical card that use a 8x slots and relatively thin for not overlap the adjacent slot ?

Best regards,
Sébastien.

If displayport will work for you then you could take a look at the Firepro W2100

People also cut the end of the slot off, and the 16x physical will just run at 8x (or however many lanes you are providing it electrically).

I have Dell Radeon HD8490, it's x16, however you can cut off half of PCI board - there's no contacts. It's better to "ruin" $20-30 card, rather then expensive board.

But I'd take that^ x1 nvidia board, unless you need passthrough.
