Hi, as the thread title says.. I'm looking for a GPU that is stronger than the 1050ti, but it should only have length of 215mm or less. Oh, and I'm not being lazy.. was looking for a few days now, but so far the AMD cards I saw are too long for my mobo, and the 1660 super available in our local store is also too long. Thought it's about time I asked for help.. no RTX suggestions please - RTX cards are out of my budget range. I can afford only up to 400 USD.

@JWNoctis

it's going to drag out a bit, since my income is slow. Will be doing overtime for the rest of October to earn extra.
will be posting an update on this thread on what GPU I was able to buy.. maybe by late Nov or early Dec. :)

so far, the 1050ti has been doing well with the games I currently play.. Genshin Impact, Soul Calibur VI, and Nights of Azure 2 all work smoothly. But will be getting Dead or Alive VI soon, and the minimum requirement of DOA VI is a GTX 770.. I don't even meet the minimum requirement, since the 1050ti is a little weaker than a 770. Getting at least a 1650 is necessary - or a 2060 if budget allows.

yeah, and hopefully.. prices wouid drop soon..

had the time to do a bit more searching

so there are plenty of options now for my limited to 215mm case.

compiling them into one post, just in case some other people are looking for short gpu.

first is the Gigabyte 1650 (152mm) mentioned by ColGeek, this is still my main goal, since it's the most affordable.

next is the RTX 2060 (175mm) - thanks to Jwnoctis for mentioning this. If somehow, I get enough money, would be getting this one.

Zotac 1080ti mini (211mm) - another option that I found

Gigabyte 1660 Super mini (170mm), Gigabyte is good at making small gpu's. Another option.

time to save money...

I started this thread Oct 17, 2021. Now, it's Jan 23, 2022. Finally able to buy a GPU stronger than 1050ti, but less than 215mm length. :)

purchased this GTX 1650 mini for 340 usd at the mall today. Yeah, I know it's not the best, but I'm still so happy to have this. After buying it at the mall, went to mass at the church, and after the mass, my gpu was blessed by the friendly priest.
