Hi everyone! I'm in a bit of a pickle. My fiancée just put together a new PC, and while it's working great, we completely overlooked the need for a USB-C port to connect her drawing tablet. The GPU we picked, the 5070 Ti, doesn't have one. I tried searching online, but can't find much. Do you guys know of any graphics cards that come with a USB-C port or something equivalent that would work well?

Some models of the 7900XTX include USB-C ports, which could be a solid option! You might want to check out the specs to confirm, though. Here’s a link for reference: https://www.techpowerup.com/gpu-specs/radeon-rx-7900-xtx.c3941
Unfortunately, Nvidia stopped including USB-C (or VirtualLink) ports after their RTX 20 series. AMD supports USB-C in some RX 6000 cards, but they switched from VirtualLink on the RX 7000 cards. The 7900XTX should roughly match the performance of a 5070 Ti, making it a reasonable alternative, but just keep in mind that no partner boards have USB-C as far as I know.
Check out this cable I use for my Cintiq: [link](https://www.amazon.com/dp/B0BNX61QNV?th=1). If your CPU has an integrated GPU and the motherboard has a USB-C port, you can directly plug in there! You might experience a bit of latency, but for a drawing tablet, that shouldn’t be a huge issue since they typically run at 60Hz. If latency is a concern, then that cable might be your best bet!
