compatible nvidia 1080 ti for Aurora R6?

Hi, looking to upgrade my GPU to 1080Ti.

But specs in Aurora R6 says that it should be maximum 10.5 inches.

Most of the aftermarket cards are longer than that.

Plz help

i'm surprised no one answered your Question yet.

i don't have this Model but i doubt that the Card needs to be that Short. open the Case Panel and measure the Space around currently installed Card. Note: most of the 3rd Party GTX 1080Ti Cards are Tripple Slot Cards. i think the 1080TI Founders Edition is a pretty Save Choice.

Hi nichu010‌,

This is the supported reference card: GeForce GTX 1080 Graphics Cards | NVIDIA GeForce  

So check the card dimensions since they will need to match the reference one.

Thanks for the report.
 
I've been wondering if cards slightly taller than a 1080-FE would fit behind PS bracket. While your card isn't a full 1-inch taller (like a MSI Gaming-X is) it does appear to be slightly taller than normal.

Hi, Is there enough power supply cables for a 1080ti? I got a 850W PSU

You will see extra 2pin that slides right next to the 6pin that you are talking about, it will make 2 8pin sets. it is nicely grouped together so you can't miss it.

Yes, it's already installed on your unit, you will see exactly same extra cable connector right next to your currently connected cable that is put it into your card.
