Will Sapphire Radeon TRI-X R9 290 fit in my case currently i have a ASUS GTX 770 DirectCU II OC

[Simo292a]

There is very little space left with the ASUS GTX 770 so do you guys think there would be space available for a Sapphire Radeon TRI-X R9 290?

 

[Suztera]

Why would you put a R9 290 with a GTX 770?

 

[Simo292a]

Sorry i guess i should explain better i am looking to replace it with r9 290.

 

[Suztera]

So what case you using? What is the GPU's clearance?

 

[Simo292a]

So my case is from a company named MM vision which is Danish and i cant really find much information from their website. But there is approximately 5cm left between the harddisk cage and the card

 

[Suztera]

This is the R9 290 Trix dimensions, I don't know what kind of case you using so you have to measure and find out yourself:
305(L)X113(W)X38(H) mm

 

[Simo292a]

Ok so i found the dimension of the cards
GTX 770 : Card Dimensions (L x H) 10.7" x 5.2"
R9 290 : Card Dimensions (L x H) 12.01" x 4.45"
So i dont know if it would fit but to be sure what r9 290 card with 2 fans would you recommend?

You can try MSI R9 290.
276x127x39mm

Yeah i think that would be my best bet since it matches with the dimension of the gtx 770. What about cooling with the msi card how hot does i get under load? My current gtx 770 reaches 80 celcious as a max temp which i am fine with but if the r9 290 would go to 90 degrees i would be a little worried its mostly because i have heard how hot the r9 290 can get.

Should be similar temps but may be more depends how good your airflow is within your case. What power supply do you have?

 

[Simo292a]

OK i got the Raidmax 635W

 

[Suztera]

OK i got the Raidmax 635W

Personally I would not trust a Raidmax psu with a R9 290.
It's your call to use it or get a new psu.

 

[Simo292a]

What would be your reason not to trust the psu?

 

[Suztera]

What would be your reason not to trust the psu?

It's known to make low quality power supply with little to no protection. If you look them up, you can find disappointing reviews with them.

 

[Simo292a]

OK i see what psu would you recommend then that also would be able to power graphics cards in the future?

A XFX TS 550 or 650W.
Seasonic 620W S12II or 620W M12II
