My fingers are rerally itching to buy a new GPU and I hope theres a date soon for the new stuff thats coming.
Seeing as I use a mATX case I took some measurements and 280mm is the longest card I can use with the AIO mounted in the front. If I mount the AIO on the top of the case I get 310mm clearance for a new GPU.
Are there any negatives with buying the shorter cards with 2 fans instead of 3? I'm guessing OC'ing them are not as easy with one less fan but I don't see me doing that anyway. Anything else that makes shorter cards worse then the long bois?
Will be interesting to see what model you get for 600-700 bucks, I think that will be my budget for the new purchase.
With the 2-3 fan designs, the main issue is getting the heat out of the case because the cards blow most of the hot air out of the side of the card and into the case. As long as your case ventilation is good, I don't think it will make much of a difference.
