Aurora R11, RTX 4060 Ventus upgrade?
I'm looking to upgrade my Alienware Aurora R11's GPU. I've been looking into the MSI Nvidia GeForce RTX 4060 VENTUS and the (RTX 4060) dimensions are as listed;
Assembled Product Dimensions (L x W x H)
12.00 x 5.50 x 5.00 Inches
Would this fit into my Alienware Aurora R11 without much hassle or would I be better off going with the much smaller RTX 3060? For those curious, below are the 3060 dimensions.
Assembled Product Dimensions (L x W x H)
9.30 x 4.90 x 1.70 Inches

Links at the boards FAQ pinned at the top of this forum, will provide the information needed to determine OEM card sizes.

OEM video card dimensions
Also take into account power requirements and connector type with RTX4000 cards.

@Baguette_ looks like that graphics card is powered with 0ne 8-pin PCIe connector . . . so you should be good.

A 12 inch graphics card is way too long. Maximum length for Aurora R11 is 270mm (10.6 inched).
The nVidia RTX 4070 Super Founders Edition is 244mm long and will fit in the R11. Note comments by Vanadiel regarding PSU wattage and cables.

Thank you both for the answers; I only have one more question. Would the following GPU (MSI NVIDIA GeForce RTX 3060 Graphic Card - 12 GB GDDR6 - 1.81 GHz Boost Clock - 192 bit Bus Width - PCI Express 4.0 - DisplayPort - HDMI)
work for the Alienware Aurora R11?
As stated before (but will clarify), the dimensions are as follows:
Assembled Product Dimensions (L x W x H)
9.30 x 4.90 x 1.70 Inches
The GPU also fits within my budget and seems like a good pick. Please do follow up on if this is compatible (cable/connector wise). My power supply and the dimensions both seem to work. Thank you!
