Question Where to find dual slot graphics cards

[Winterson]

The so called dual slot cards I have found are all 2.5 slot cards and require 3 slots open. None of my workstations provide that amount of real estate. All the best of cards in review are 2.5 or wider and of no use to me.

I want 16GB of VRAM but will settle for 12GB if that is all that is available. Problem is that the true width is very hard to find even on the AMD and nVidia websites that do not bother to provide the width of their cards.

Which specific GPU model do you actually want ? I'm using Zotac's RTX 4060 SOLO GPU, which is a 2 slot card. Fits inside any ATX cabinet released thus far ! But my main purpose is casual gaming.

<p>The ZOTAC GAMING GeForce RTX 4060 8GB SOLO is an ultra-compact graphics card, featuring the NVIDIA Ada Lovelace architecture. It is the smallest ZOTAC GAMING 40-series card to-date, and could fit in 99% of PC cases with ease. Despite its small size, it has all the advantages of a 40-series...

But in any case, search the TPU's GPU database. There are some dual-slot GPU models, though most of the high-end Nvidia RTX 40 series cards are 3-4 slot wide.

Narrow down the search depending on which GPU model or series you are willing to buy, be it AMD or Nvidia. Older gen models do come in dual-slot size. Though, even some latest gen AMD and Nvidia GPU models come in 2-slot design. Check this database.

I am currently using a 1070 Ti card and want better performance for video editing. I also want 12-16GB instead of the 8GB with the 1070 Ti card. Nearly all the cards with better performance are 2.5 or 2.7 wide cards and cannot be used.

I may be able to use the RTX 3080 card with water cooling instead of massive fans as it provides a much narrower profile. Searching now for for ASUS ROG Strix RTX 3080 and 3090 graphics cards that may be compatible with EKWB water cooling units.

The graphics card manufacturers are 100% focused on gamers and ignoring completely content creators. I may need to build a video editing tower and be able to use one of the fat graphics cards and be able to eat up 3 slots on the motherboard.

It is further complicated with needing to find a workstation with Windows 10 installed unless I use a Mac instead but even then a used Mac Pro is going to cost $5,000 to get started and then add in the cost of the graphics card. At least with Davinci Resolve I can go with either Windows or Mac OS at no additional cost.
