I've just found out the hard way that the Displayport ports on my RTX 3090 FE are slightly closer together than on the 2080Ti. This should not surprise me as on the latter they were spread across both slots, but it means that I can't plug three of my fibre-optic DP cables into the card. I have to use two DP and one HDMI.

Ok...
Just buy a DP Male to Female Extention Cable 30cm short one, maybe can get them shorter too if you look around. You may need three if the Fibre DP cables block the middle one to add the extention cable there, Im guessing you are using the two side DP on the card and not the middle one and the HDMI.
Hey, you never know if it might help someone.
I'm using the top and third DP ports. and the HDMI port. I'll have to try one of those extenders

Wow, how far away is your display from your pc to have to use fibre optic?
My PC is in a cupboard in one corner of the room; my monitors are on a table in another corner. The distance is about 5m as the cables run, slightly shorter than it was before I moved things around; I use 10m cables.
