I went from a 780ti to 4070ti in a new build, was no way I was getting it in my case with the CPU cooler on. Legit have maybe 3-5 mm clearance to the front of the case and the included support couldn't be mounted in my matx case, printed a support so at least it won't sag but it's unreal just how much larger of a card it is compared to what was (at least to me) a large card at the time.
