@Nichronos you're info doesn't match what's stated by EVGA in the link above. It looks like all variants will fit - I'd hope that Dan knows his stuff
I've seen that post and the dude who wrote it is wrong

Based on? I'd be keen to see the source of the 44mm, given that the EVGA forum post was from an EVGA employee.I've seen that post and the dude who wrote it is wrong
Hes not wrong, but the information is confusing because its irrelevant. The backplate is 4.2mm, but the XC3 coolers still protrude from underneath the metal plate (40mm) by 4-5mm. Look at the metal slots photos on evga website. Its also why they list it as a 2.2 slot card.Based on?

Slot sizes are mostly including the back plate.
A normal 2 Slot card is 2*19,75 = 39,5mm (inlcuding the back plate)
A 2.2 Slot card is 2,2*19,75 = 43,45
So I think the new 2.2 Slot EVGA RTX XC3 will fit.
At the moment I have a Ryzen 5 3600 in it and the cooling is just a bunch of Noctua fans. I’m afraid it’s nothing fancy like water cooled etc!
FYI, at the mo it’s running a RX 5700XT.
No point in arguing about it, it's all guess work. get your black edition, stick it in, see if there's a few mm available behind the gpu and let us know.
Keep us posted! I have an XC3 Ultra on order, so I'll let everyone know when I get that!Sure ill do immediately when they actually send me one... wonder how much will i wait

I also have a Sapphire rx 580 and I use it without the side panel. That side faces the wall so it still looks great on the desk.My Sapphire 580 that's 2.1 slots does not fit. So I wouldn't risk a 2.2 slot
Hi Nigel,
I'm really curious about your results and thank you for pioneering here. In general, I'm still concerned a little about the power consumption of the 3080's. So what kind of PSU do you have in your build?
Regards,
Paul
Weird, where is the 3080 Turbo?Looks like we've got another option for 3090, if anyone wants to put an industrial floor dryer in their Dan A4 lol
