graphic cards Graphic Card Size

I have a 18.8 x 8.2 x 18.6 L/W/H inch PC case, can a 231mm GPU fit in that?-

 

What I'm looking for:

 

Max GPU length for the PC case

[Fasauceome]

could you share the model of the case? the external dimensions don't fully decide what length of GPU is suitable. Hard drive cages, among other things, could be in the way.

What case is it? thouse are external, we dont know what internal is.

This is a prebuilt case, the one I have currently.

it's very spacious, a 270mm graphics card would fit inside with room to spare. (assuming that picture is representative of the case you have)

Thanks, does it have to be anything below 270mm, or exactly 270mm?

270 was just the first size that came to mind since it's the size of most nvidia founders edition cards from previous generations, but that case seems to have a ton of free space and I wouldn't be surprised if 300mm or larger could squeeze in there. And of course anything smaller will fit just fine, since the PCIe connection is a standard physical format.

If THAT case (in the NewEgg link) is the case you have...then it is a CyberPower customized Phanteks P360X case.

That case, can support UP TO a 400mm (15.7") graphics card.

Thank you, do you have any recommendations for what GPU I should get? I was thinking about a Sapphire Pulse RX 5600 XT, I'm pretty new to upgrading.

Are you running an RX-580 right now, like the PC in the NewEgg page?

 

5600 XT is a decent jump in performance, but again, that can depend on the game.

If you want a worthy upgrade, I'd go the RX 5700 or RX 5700 XT route.

With RX 6000-series hitting the market, and RTX 3000-series already "here", might be worthwhile have a look into those as possible options.

Retailers should be clearing out RTX 2000-series and RX 5000-series GPUs now...might be a good time to buy, if you don't mind last generation graphics cards.

Yes, I have never upgraded before. But I will check out both of those, I might go for the 5600 XT, thanks again for helping me.
