Im looking to upgrade my graphics card from a Evga RTX 2070 FTW3 super (11.9" (302 mm) x 5.4" (137 mm) to a RTX 4080 founders card (12" (304mm) x 5.4" (137mm) which is a fraction bigger than my current card to fit into a Antec 1200 case. The foundres card is the only one that comes close to looking like it might fit. Having checked the measurements on the chasis puts it right on the limts of whether it will fit as my current card just fits with mm to spare. Does anybody own or have a similar system can say for sure if it will fit?

Dont forget to allow for the power connector, it will stick out quite a bit.
 
The power connection is on the top iron monkey.

Ironbelly - have you tried slotting in a birthday card or something in-between your current card and the case chassis?

If it wasn't really tight and slotted in and out easily then you should be ok. Use a thick birthday card.

A thick birthday card is quite tight. The founders card has rounded corners compared to my cards squared of ends. As you can see from the photo its the lower part of the cooler (White SUPER logo) which is tight.

One of the first things I did. There measurements are different again compared to nvidias own measurements which does not help matters.

Only other possibility I can think of is to buy a 7900 XTX MBA/Reference card, though hopefully a fixed one.
