The description says that a graphics card up to 260mm long should fit in this case, the specifications say 285mm. Which is the truth?

You can safely install cards with a length of 265 mm, there is enough space for that. The front is a panel that clamps at 4 points to access the front fan. If longer cards are installed, it may not be possible to close the panel on the left side, depending on the shape of the card. This does not affect the function, but it does not look as nice. As mentioned, 265mm cards have enough space.

Hello GreenRazer
I bought the case this year for a mate and it does indeed fit 285mm graphics cards in the case as there is a cut-out for longer than 260mm. However, because of the angular shape of the graphics cards, we couldn't clamp the front, which is slightly rounded, onto it nicely. The installation is also a bit tricky because the cut-out for longer cards is very narrow. However, I was extremely positively surprised that it fit into the small case.
We used my 1070 Stix 285mm for a transitional period until we bought a 1070 which is 260mm long because we had some doubts at the beginning.
By the way, it looks really nice and is an extremely compact case, my buddy is very happy with it.
I recommend you also have a look at Youtube if you want to see more hands-on experiences.
Hope I could help you.
