I have a dual PC setup for broadcasting. I run my gaming software on one PC, OBS on another. THe issue i am running into atm is that the GPU in my OBS PC is double width, but has a cooler on it that is JUST deep enough that it covers 2 of my 3 PCIe x1 slots.

1 of the 3 PCIe x1 slots is already used by my Avermedia Game Broadcaster HDMI capture card. I would like to add another, but with the slots blocked by the GPU and its heatsink, i am unable to.

Does anyone know of a good GPU for this dedicated setup that would handle OBS compositing that is thin enough to allow one of the 2 other PCIe x1 slots to be usable, or even a single slot width GPU rather than double width?

i dont need hardware encoding, as the dedicated PC has a 2011/2012 Core i7 in it already, and rarely tops 25% CPU usage while broadcasting.


Any help would be appreciated

sadly no, at least not from what i can see in my bios screen. the motherboard does not have its own video output either, so it needs to have a video card.

awesome, thanks for the info. ill have to check it out, and since the PC doesnt do anything other than the OBS compositing, this should be good. :)
