the 280 matrix is a tripple slot card

 

os if you have 3 slots in between the 16x pcie clots then you should be fine

 

unless you have 2 slots worth of space after the mother board on your case then you can not.

 

the first 2 PCIe slots dont have enough space to have 2 3slot cards

It doesn't look like it would fit. Grab a PCI cable

It is a triple slot card, so the crossfire bridge is enough to cover 4 PCI slots.

on this pics it says theres 3 pcie x16. im sure between the first and the last should be enough space. But that is the point when im worried is the cf cable long enough?
