Recently I ordered a PowerColor PCS R9 290 graphics card for my system to use with my Samsung 4k monitor. The reason I chose this card was due to the fact it was listed as 10.5" long, even on PowerColor's website. (I had to convert from mm). When the card arrived, I discovered it did not fit, so I measured it. It measured 11.5", so I had to return it.

Does anyone know of a R9 290 card that will fit in the Sonata III case?


Thanks,

Unfortunately, it appears that all R9 290 cards are at least around 277mm (10.9") for reference cards and even longer for aftermarket coolers.

You will have to find a different card that can fit in there. The R9 290x is out of the question since it is of equal length or a bit longer.

You should get the GTX 970 card, it is a lot better than the R9 290 and is even shorter and should cost even less.
Definitely get the reference GTX 970 card though just in case since aftermarket cards will tend to be a bit longer than the reference.

It's currently out of stock but you can definitely find it on other sites for around the same price.
