My gfx card is too large to put my capture card next

bigbob1 · 10 Jul 2023 at 11:49

Hey all, ideally I don't want to have the expense of buying a new board.

My gfx is a 4090 and almost covers the pci slot next to it, is there any sort or angled adapters?

I'm sure I'm asking a stupid question but I'd like to use my capture card but not buy a new board (current board is MSI mpg x570 gaming pro carbon)

Don't think so, either new board or buy an external capture card that uses USB.

Could use a riser cable but its not ideal as it won't be securely fastened in the case unless your case has an insane amount of room to mount it with a riser.

Would a riser cable help ?

A riser might actually, the case has loads of room to secure, I'll see if there's room to get one in, thanks

If your case has a separate section to mount a vertical mount you could use a riser and mount it that way, provided the GPU isn't too wide and takes up that space. Without knowing what case you have, we can't advise any further.

Hmm there's no separate area to mount a vertical mount, you could probably just lay it to rest at the bottom of the case if you get a long enough riser cable.

I'm not sure the lack of room isn't just too chronic

Move the card down and fit the card above?

Long riser cable
And mount behind the motherboard
In the rear of the case?
Seen people do it with asus hyper m2 cards
