Any way to get this graphics card(GTX 760) to fit?

Yeah, don't listen to the guy that actually owns a computer repair shop. -.-

wow, you must be a quality loving service then if that's what you think the correct course of action is then lmao

 don't alter the case

Take a pair of wire cutters or bolt snips and cut that thin strip of metal below the port. You'll probably need to open the case and remove that metal mesh stuff in the way too.

It looks like that heat sink is in the way too if you apply enough force you can pry it off of the chip to save space.

Take out your GTX 570 and put this one in. It will fit and you will see how.

im not understanding the problem. is this because his previous vid card uses a single din, while the new ones uses 2, and he cant fit it?

also why the hell does his new card have the bracket removed. i forgot those things even came off. who is the clown who did that.

Just because you own a computer shop doesn't mean you're an expert at repairing computers

No, but a CompTIA A+ certification outta suffice in most situations.

There's zero reason to do this unless you have a stuffty case by a stuffty manufacturer that doesn't build stuff properly. The best solution is to not have such a case

Cutting that metal bar is not what you're supposed to do anyways.

Sometimes you have to improvise

Funny.

I actually did have to shave off a small bit of metal on a case like 10 years ago. This case was from an age where double slotted cards weren't a thing yet.

But considering there is already a dual-slot card in there I'm guessing he didn't even try putting it in which is what is bugging people.

Except you don't have to because you can just open up a slot????

If you just remove your current card and put the new one in it should be fine. You won't have any screws to hold it in place so there will be a bit of sag (5~ degrees) that will put a bit of strain on the PCI-E port but it shouldn't cause any actual damage so long as you don't knock the card about

You say that like the A+ exam is difficult.

Except here. Because there's nothing wrong.
