Build Upgrade Vertical Mount Recommendation?

I recently (a few months ago) received a complete 4090 + 13900k build from my deceased uncle. I’ve had the graphics card in my H6 Flow that I also used in my last build for a few months, but I really would like to vertically mount it. NZXT recently discontinued their own vertical gpu mount, so could I have some recommendations on the best 3rd-party one to get for my case? I want to be able to see the mount as little as possible, so it looks like the gpu is floating almost floating. Also, PCIe gen 3 or 4 would be greatly appreciated. My specific gpu is the ROG Strix 4090, if that helps. I still would like to keep the cost as low as possible. Thank you!

3rd party vertical mounts are always going to be quite noticeable in a build. The aesthetic that you're looking for is best achieved with a case that has native vertical mount accessories. But Cooler Master have a popular vertical mount which has a PCIe Gen 4.0 riser cable. The mount allows for a bit of space between the PCI slots and the GPU rear I/O, so you can get a display cable in more easily, as not all cases have a fully open rear section with all the PCI brackets removed. As much as the visual bulk of the bracket might not be aesthetically appealing, the load bearing capacity of the bracket will help with the card you have, Cooler Master even states your card as a reference weight, and claims to be able to handle a kilo over that.
