Hi, is it me or apart from the lack of stock, it will be a really pain in the arse to buy a high end like the 6800xt or 3080 with two slots?...seems it might be problematic with the 3070 and 6800 too. Any already known or rumour of a 2 slots GPU with these new two generations from AMD and NVIDIA?

The 6800 and 3070 reference/FE are both 2-slot cards, but cooling the 300-320W of a 6800XT or 3080 in just 2 slots is going to be a real challenge, and one that not many GPU makers are likely to want to take on (it'll be either hit or loud no matter what). Given that unlike Nvidia AMD distributes their reference cards through partners availability of the 6800 should be decent. Sapphire announced their version today.

The 3080 FE is two slot - I have one and it fits in the Dan A4. I could not locate any other 2 slot cards on the market- from initial stress testing it looks to be running at just under 80 degrees, but need to properly check it out.

Yeah, the thing is that I have a 4K monitos since time and I really want to use it with the best card for that resolution.

I didn't know that, the thing is the stock and this si even a bigger issue down here in Argentina.
