Just managed to grab a RX 6700 XT. It's a huge thing and a tight squeeze in my Meshify C case and would only fit if I removed one of the front fans.
I 've put the fan at the top as an exhaust, which means 1 x front intake, 1x rear exhaust and now the top fan.
I believe this isn't great as should be more front intake than exhaust?

Maybe time for a new case?

EDIT: Seems the case has more options than I thought. Theres a panel at the bottom thats removable apparently so should be able fit a fan at the front, right at the bottom.

Ran 3Dmark and it was up to 65c, CPU same. Just wanted to make sure airflow wasn't compromised moving a fan.

You can get thin versions of fans, but depending on the clearance you need for the gpu to fit.
