Need help w/ SFF GPU picking

[SCAMAZING]

Hey guys,

 

So I'm trying to design a build for the Fractal Design Node 202, and I was wondering what GPU to pick. The motherboard I'm using is the ASRock H110M (because that's all you really need to know). As you know, the height of this case (I'm pretty sure, not definite though) is 83mm 

 

REQUIRMENTS:

Must be GTX 900 Series/Radeon R9 290 or later

 

Thanks again,

SCAMAZING

budget?

 

beating a 290 would be in this range

a step up would be

you need a mini itx mobo. grab something like a 1060 or 1070

You need a mini-ITX motherboard. Your choice of GPU depends on your budget. You could fit a Titan XP in that case if you wanted to.

Why not just get a small micro ATX case? the node 202 is rather large for ITX, and also rather expensive

And probably the blower RX 470, since blowers can be useful in a small case, although it's still a blower cooler so it's not going to get you the best cooling performance

Hey everybody who's complaining about the motherboard it's the Mini-ITX version of the H110-M + I know my GPU models well but I want something that can ACTUALLY fit.

You don't even need an SFF card. Just get whatever you want, as long it's not ridiculously large (as in height or thickness). Cards like the MSI GTX 1080 Gaming X will fit just fine. The reference Titan XP fits as well.

But only buy a high end card if your monitor set up is better than 1080p 60hz

What's the CPU ? It might cause a bottleneck

CPU is Intel Core i7 6700K

My monitor is 4K 60hz so I'm using an ASUS GTX 1070 Turbo

You're going to want a 1080 for 4k, or better yet wait for the 1080ti

 I'm probably gonna play my games @ 1440p anyway

1440p doesn't scale to 2160p perfectly

If you're going to run games at a lower resolution you're going to want to run them at 1080p because that scales perfectly with 4k, which means RX 470/480 or 1060 for 1080p high settings
