Graphics card that hides the PCIe slot?

Hello,
I would like to connect a wifi/bluetooth card that is in PCIe to my PC.
But there is a catch... my graphics card takes up two slots and it "hides" my PCIe slot...

What do you think I should do?
Thanks in advance...

What motherboard do you have?

Indeed, the PCI-Express 1X slot is located next to the PCI-Express 16X slot. With a dual-slot GPU, it is blocked. The solution would be to see if you can still find a PCI Wi-Fi card, as the PCI slot is free.

Hello, if there is enough room, you might consider using a 'riser'

I don't know if this type of equipment is reliable since I've never used one, but for a Bluetooth receiver, I think it won't affect the operation,

If there isn't room between the graphics card and the second port, I can also advise you to look into USB products, Bluetooth adapters that work using a USB port

(feel free to correct me, especially if you have used a 'riser' of this type before)
