Is the XFX Radeon 4890 Graphics card bigger than the EVGA GTX 260 Core 216?
17 replies, posted
I've been wondering this for a while. MSI created a retarded motherboard with two SATA ports right below the PCIe slot, so my GTX 260 Core 216 wouldn't fit in the slot. I've only tested that graphics card, and wanted to know if the XFX Radeon 4890 would be smaller.

thats my motherboard, as you can see, the two purple ports at the bottom are too close to the PCIe slot. It looks spread apart in picture, but they are close in real life.
Thanks!
Not too much bigger, but the upgrade isn't worth it.

Lol. Well I couldn't fit the GTX 260 into the mobo so I had to send it back. Could someone recommend a GPU that will fit in there, and can play crysis on high atleast :P.
4870.
Are you sure itll fit in that motherboard??
actually no you need a single slot card, 4850. That motherboard is horrible.

4870 is fucking massive.
no it's not, it's the same size as all of the bigger cards.
Oh k, So what manufacturer ould be the best for single slot 4850's?
Sapphire.

I didn't think XFX made single slot versions?
No they don't. I'll look for a sapphire. Thanks!

This one? I know its a double slot, but the fan is curved so it might fit. BTW, what PSU do you need for that? I've got an Ultra 650W PSU in my comp, will that do? Nvm, you need a 450w psu for it :D.
K I just found out that the sapphire fn on the 512 mb is the same on the 1gb, so itll fit. Thanks for all your help!!
Your 650W will run any GPU on the market right now.
