My new graphics card and PSU came today. (Yes, I spent money. I had money from Christmas still.) The PSU works just great, but there's a problem with the graphics card.
There's this weird piece on my mobo that's stopping the graphics card from fitting in, so I'm going to return it for a full refund then getting one that will fit.
Are there any cards that are equivalent to the EVGA GTS 250, and around the same price? It's got to be a little smaller because this loving monster is 4.5 inches wide and 9 inches long. Seriously, I need a smaller one, or it's not going to fit.
If you need me to I guess I can get pics of the area around my pci express slot, just ask.

Snap the weird piece off. I'm sure it's not that important.

lolno
its the plugin for the keyboard. But you're probably just joking.

I'm pretty sure that's always an unwise option when dealing with machines.

Melt the weird piece

Hey guys, do you think I could get some serious suggestions here?

Call the manufacturer and ask about the strange piece.

Stop upgrading when you're losing your house?

It's not strange and its not on the graphics card, its part of the mother board and its where the keyboard plugs in.

If you want a card similar to a gts 250, try to get a gts 250. By that I mean some companies have the same card but it is smaller, like my XFX 5770 is a lot bigger than most of the 5770s from the other companies.

I've never seen a 4.5 inch wide GPU. Which did you buy?

Dropshock · March 18, 2010, 10:41:10 PM

I got this one.

Rip off the extruding piece and stick it in your USB slot. Maybe you'll get more memory. Just remember: with computers, force is the key.
