So I'm planning on buying the msi lightning 1080 ti and take advantage of the rgb by displaying the rgb backplate (for better airflow) inside a phanteks evlov shift or shift x (the slightly taller one) but unsure if it fits since many say the case has only 2 expansion slots (I don't know if there is space for a 2.5 card like the lighting 1080ti) yet pcpartpicker says the parts are compatible

Can anyone give me a clear yes the card can fit inside the case or not :)

Thank u so much

EDIT: also, if it doesn't fit, are there any cases that show off the gpu like the antec cube (razer) for example?
