Mid- and high-end cards require a dedicated electrical connection to the computer’s power supply. There’s also one more factor to consider: the card’s power inputs. This Cooler Master Mini-ITX case can only accept short graphics cards (left), but it’s compatible with dual-slot designs (right). When you’re shopping online for cards, the specifications should list the measurements of the card. The easiest way to handle all this is to pop open your case and measure the space you have available. And in some cases your available space might be further limited by where hard drives are installed, where cables are plugged into your motherboard, and how power cables are run.Īlso some very small PC cases might limit the height of the card you can use.
While low-end and mid-tier cards are generally short enough to fit most cases, more powerful cards tend to be much longer.
