Nvidia's RTX 3090 isn't just faster than an Xbox Series X; it's taller too!

Not that I'm buying one but the 3090's length isn't the problem, but the width/height might be though. When you add in the power connector cable, I'm not sure I'd be able to put the side window back on my Fractal Meshify C case!

the thickness is a massive issue for me. Based on where I have my gpu vertical, it will not fit.

Who would have thought that my GPU upgrade would not fit in a corsair 1000D of all cases....

It's no bigger than the Kingpin, HOF, MSI Duke and so on. It is literally at the size limit they all are.

Let's face it if you are spending £1300 (more like £1600) on a GPU you wouldn't have a £100 case.

haha it doesnt fit in the vertical slot of my 1000D and thats a £500 case. I had the card in the second motherboard IO slot. But the 3090 would not allow me to close the side panel.

I guess they are literally assuming people will VM them these days. I didn't even try cramming it in another case :D
