Compatibility and related parts

Before you buy, check that your power supply is rated for at least 500W and has a free 6-pin PCIe connector; if not, look through our power supplies. The card is 205 mm long, so it fits most PC cases, but confirm your case's graphics card clearance. You can compare it with other graphics cards, or add it in our PC builder, which checks compatibility; parts bought as part of a PC build get free assembly and testing.
