WTB PCIe x1 Graphics Card

Anyone?

Does such a thing exist ?

Anyone?

Yes.

I think you can easily find an pci x1 to x16 expansion risers. Those were quite popular during mining days.

All I have a gaming graphics cards. So still would need a graphics card to install.

There's this https://www.amazon.in/ASUS-Graphics-Warranty-Displays-GT730-4H-SL-2GD5/dp/B09DVN7QWH/ and PrimeABGB has a GT710 version

Or do what I did (skip to the photos):

I needed to add a 16x graphics card in a system where the only unused slots were 1x slots. And I didn't want to:

1. buy a new motherboard
2. cut open the 1x slot on the motherboard
3. cut off part of the 16x connector on the graphics card

I'm going to use a ribbon riser cable, but I still need to mount the graphics card in a secure way, so this was done:

4. Will GPUs have direct access to DRAMs or CPU mediates in between???

Generally, the CPU is the only component that has direct physical access to the system memory. This was first introduced several years ago after the northbridge component or memory controller hub of a chipset became integrated in the CPU with the Athlon 64 and 1st Generation Intel Core i-series.

But with the Radeon 6000 series, AMD introduced a technology they're branding as Smart Access Memory, or SAM, otherwise known as Resizable Bar Support. This allows for a 'flyover' type access inside the CPU that allows...

That price on Amazon is a joke!!!!

That's the regular price. You're paying for the 4x HDMI ports, not the GPU or x1 slot. That card used to be around 7k a few years ago.

An alternative would be a low profile x1 to x16 riser, it lets you slot in a low profile card while adding just enough height to have it sit in a full sized slot, something like this: https://www.amazon.in/Express-Riser-Adapter-Converter-Board/dp/B0C8Z5H58N/ but a x1 version, maybe sourced from ebay?

Another alterative is a PCI to PCIe riser, with a cheap low profile PCI VGA card: https://www.amazon.in/Shopp-Efficiency-PCI-Express-Converter-Adapter/dp/B0B8YRHTGX/

Either way, this is a niche use case and in computing, niche = expensive.

Everything would be solved by having open ended slots.

A tiny file and a little patience, maybe even a podcast while you work.

I tried filing away & messed up the pcie socket. So again any PCIe x1 graphics card?
