Length restriction on GPUs (poptalk.scrubbles.tech)

Hey folks! Not sure where to put this, but since I'm doing this to install Bazzite soon, why not.

I have a HTPC that currently has an NVidia card in it. Since Gamescope doesn't play nice with nvidia, I'm going to upgrade the GPU. I have a 6900XT in my primary rig, love the thing. here's the thing though, I was going to put it into my original HTPC, but it was too long by about 0.5 inches.

Does anyone have either A) a recommendation on a GPU that can drive a 4K tv that is shorter than 12" or B) Know of any good sites that have a filter?

It's a pretty intense machine, since the whole family uses it. I'm planning on about a grand for the new GPU, if it works like my 6900XT. Less is of course better, but I don't want this one struggling personally.

Thanks for any rec's!

All the tiny cards I've seen have usually been the lower end/entry level variants, not premium.

Like my card, 6700 Fighter from PowerColor. Absolutely tiny, both in length, width and in weight compared to some past cards i've had. it doesnt even approach the edge of the mobo.
