Posted July 4, 2017 I may be designing a mITX case over the next year for a class, and I'm curious as to what GPU length I should fit in to retain as much compatibility without expanding the case. Currently, I'm estimating about 270mm card with a total case volume of ~5 Liters. Most people don't really pay attention to GPU Lengths. If you want to find out your length, go to Pcpartpicker's video card list and search for your video card. It should have length listed on the left side of the product's page. If y'all could list your specific gpu name in addition to the poll - that would help a ton. Thanks. Fan Comparisons F@H PCPartPicker Analysis of Market Trends (Coming soon? Never? Who knows!)

Posted July 4, 2017 MSI GTX 1060 Aero ITX 3GB — 175 mm (6.9 in) I would say either 180 mm or 280 mm clearance would be where to go if designing a space-efficient case. With 180 mm you can fit most all the short-variant cards that are designed specifically to be stubby. At around 280 mm you can get whichever GPU you want and find multiple models that will fit, though the longest cards will not. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Posted July 4, 2017 Mine (Fury X) is weird since it's technically pretty small (195mm) it has watercooling so the radiator and tubes make it longer.

I don't think that the case will support Crossfire/SLI; for there aren't any mITX boards (that I know of) that can use more than one card.
