Can I Connect Two GPUs When They're Blocking Each Other's PCIe Slots?

Asked by TechieDude42
I ended up with a micro ATX motherboard in an ATX case because I didn't do enough research before purchasing my components. I also mistakenly bought a 4060 GPU, but now I have a 5070 as well. While it's probably not super useful, I'd like to try to connect both GPUs to my motherboard. The issue is that both cards block the PCIe x16 slots. Is there any way around this, like using a GPU riser?

You could technically use a GPU riser to connect one of the GPUs, given your smaller motherboard size. But honestly, I wouldnโ€™t recommend it unless absolutely necessary. Selling the 4060 might be a better option.

Using two GPUs is generally overkill unless you're doing something very specific. My advice would be to just sell the 4060 since it won't add much to your setup.
