Hello friends of Tom's Hardware. Earlier last year I upgraded from the integrated graphics of my A8 5500 APU to a Radeon 7750. I'm going to upgrade again, but I'm afraid of the dimensions. I do not want to buy the R7 260X and find out it doesn't fit. The dimensions of both cards are below:
Radeon 7750: 8.3 x 4.4 x 0.74
R7 260X: 6.9 x 4.4 x 1.5
If you could make any other suggestions of a card below $140 and around the dimensions of the 7750 that would be great! Both cards are of the XFX brand, but it does not have to be XFX (or AMD).Thanks

I was thinking about that card too. Also in it's dimensions it says 1.5. The Radeon 7750 I have is 0.74. What is that and will that be a problem or no?

By that I assume like two metal things that hold DVI Ports and what not. But it will only use one PCI Express x16 slot right? Not two.
