Guys, I am looking round for a RX480 to fit in my HTPC (Node 605) I am limited to around 130mm card width (guestimate from cooler height)
I have been looking at the MSI Armour and Sapphire nitro, at the moment the nitro wins as the power connector is on the front/back of the card giving me more
clearance to play with.
I guess what I am asking is... Are the manufacturers to be trusted with dimensions? Do they include the pci connector in their measurements?
And any input is welcome.
P.S
I have been considering looking for a 2nd hand R9 Nano as another option, but boy are they holding their money!
