As you can see, a certain component simply will not fit. I need a recommendation for a new GPU. I can probably make about 240mm length fit inside the case. (I'll know exact numbers after I actually receive the case.) Anything over 3 slots would be a no-go. I'm coming from a 4080 and would like to lose as little gaming juice as possible, but I'm sure some loss is inevitable. Is there a stubby card that the SFF community uses regularly?

I saw this poor little abused and neglected beauty ( CMN B014ANF175 ) on eBay and couldn't help myself. I will be fully disassembling it, scanning each individual piece, reconstructing half of them in SolidWorks, then getting bored of the project and shoving it in a closet to sit for a decade or two.

Some possibly unrelated items also got purchased from Amazon:

Time to brush up on an old dusty/rusty skillset: Parametric modelling of organic shapes. NURBS, here I come!

Verify the slot format and generation for us, please. I guess it could be PCIe, but I am suspicious. Haven't looked up the date of production.
 
240mm or so basically means a 2 fan card. 5070 maybe? You can get those with 2 fans and under 240mm long. Alternatively, you can also get RX 9060XTs and 5060Tis in that size. 16GB versions will have more vram than a 5070 but won't be as fast. I'm not aware of any RX 9070s or RTX 5070Tis with 2 fans.

edit: Sapphire Pulse RX 9070 has 2 fans, but they're spread out a bit and the card is still 280mm long.

Inno3D had a 2 fan 5070 ti at 250mm long. But its been discontinued.
