    My 6650 is 200 mm long. 280 is significantly longer.

    But it’s also mostly the hight. Powercolor Fighter 6650XT is 39mm tall and 200mm long (dual slot is fine). So many of these cards have plastic shit so that the height protrudes over the backplate and if vendors cared, it would fit.

        Fractal Design Era. Silver with the white oak top.

        Gorgeous enough to go under the TV without drawing too much attention.

        It can take cards up to almost 300mm in length, it’s the height that’s a problem. Especially since they insist on putting the extra power on top of most cards, so you have to add an additional 10 mm for just the cable on top of the plastic crap.

        [Edit] Ryzen and Radeon make for a very compelling setup when combined with SteamOS.
