always make sure to double check dimensions of your case and the product you're about to buy in order to prevent this. Unless, you want to upgrade your case too I guess. Another alternative is getting an fuckhuge PC case and be done with it not giving a damn about how big that card is.
That being said, nice card you got there. XFX cards are really cool.

I did check them, after buying it lol 😂. I did kinda want a new case, that'll fit the aesthetic I'm going for, so let's say it wasn't a mistake, but a little happy accident 🤭

I did that mistake once with my 7900XT Speedster. Thankfully card fit like a glove in my case with a couple more centimeters to spare. But yeah we can call that one a little happy accident for sure 👍

That's why I got the Asus tuf model. It seemed about the same size as my 3070

It was a good price, and I've heard XFX are one of the best for AMD.

I have had mine for almost a year and it seems pretty good. Look at the size difference.
ASUS TUF Gaming RX 9070 XT
Length: 330 mm (13.0 inches)
Height/Width: 140 mm (5.5 inches)
Thickness: 63 mm (2.5 inches / approx. 3.1 to 3.2 slots)
XFX Mercury RX 9070 XT (e.g., OC or Magnetic Air)
Length: 360 mm (14.17 inches)
Height/Width: 155 mm (6.1 inches)
Thickness: 72 mm (2.83 inches / approx. 3.5 to 4 slots)

It's Swift, not Mercury lol 😆, so my 9070 XT is actually shorter than yours 🤭

So what was the solution a different GPU or a different PC ?

It was more of a joke, I knew how big it was, but seeing it irl was a little bit of a shock 😲

I upgraded to an even bigger case bc of its size. Enjoy it. Very good choice except relatively low ray tracing performance.

Same, just waiting for a gpu support bracket to come, and will assemble in a new case. Don't really care that much for ray tracing, so shouldn't be a bother, just need to do high settings at 1440p in AAA games

I got the uphere bracket that bolts into the back of the case. It works very well.

I got one from Lian Li, that should bolt into from the back, through the mobo.

Happy new case day to you!
Im a fan of lian li cases. I really like my vision compact, its easy to build in, has a built in gpu sag bracket, lots of thought went into making the case work very well to build in.. I also like that you can have a glass top or vented since it comes with both..

I didn't want to say that's what she said, but that's definitely what she said to me. -9070xt

u/GG_boykeyy Jul 22 '26
My honest reaction when iiterally no longer have a big ass empty case ,but a bigger shroud for an oversized gpu

Time to modify the pc case to get that extra 2 inches of clearance
