a little help . . . ?
I wanted to use a new monitor to set-up dual display and am having difficulty. Ordered a new card from NewEgg, it came today & I just tried to install with no luck.
The new one has an adapter for the card slot that's much "shorter" that the one it's to replace. That one took up the whole slot on the board. New one is almost half as long.
'I'm an idiot and ordered the wrong size.
What is the correct size I should have ordered please ?
peace
new video card for dual monitors - issue

You're talking about a low profile card?
E.g. this one: https://www.newegg.com/evga-geforce-210 ... -_-Product is a low profile card equipped with a full height bracket, the metal thingy you'd be able to see from the computer case's back side. If the bracket was a low profile type as well, you'd see it rise just above the circuit board; the blue VGA connector would not have any space. Most low profile cards come with both bracket sizes. If yours didn't - well it's time for a return.
If you're talking about the card not taking up the full PCI-E slot (the lengthy connector on the motherboard itself), that would not be a problem if it fits mechanically.

Sorry, I do not understand exactly what you describe...
What is the motherboard maker/model, what is the GPU maker/model?
Anyway for audio workloads I prefer AMD GPU, see why at

For the current PCs any AMD 500 series will do, better
choose one with the correct outputs(DisplayPort/HDMI/DVI/ETC)
