Yes: the GR20 Edition 20 is rated to 368mm, which covers current three-fan cards with the lead attached. The catch is measuring from the bracket to the backplate tip rather than to the end of the circuit board. That frame carries a R15,999 price.
Yes, and the number is not a rounded-up marketing figure. A 368mm GPU fits the ROG GR20 Edition 20 with room left for the power connector, which is exactly the measurement most people forget to include when they check their own card against a case's clearance rating.
The GR20 Edition 20 clears graphics cards to a full 368mm, taken from the slot bracket right out to the card's furthest tip. That covers essentially every triple-fan flagship card currently sold, power connector included. The frame costs R15,999 and takes the card in any of its three placement modes, though a card at that length is safer mounted horizontally than upright.
Manufacturers usually publish the shroud length alone, and a plugged-in power connector on the top or rear edge is rarely part of that published figure. A 12V-2x6 or 12-pin plug adds noticeable depth once seated, and swapping in a right-angle adapter changes the total again.
Put a tape measure on your actual card, cable attached, before ordering, rather than trusting the number on the retail listing alone. A card sold as 355mm can creep close to the GR20's ceiling once its power plug is accounted for, so treat the published spec as a starting point rather than the final word.
Mounted horizontally, a card near 368mm lies flat with the mid-tower frame supporting its length through simple contact, which is the safer choice at this size. Mounted vertically, the card's full weight hangs off the slot and a riser cable with nothing beneath it to help, and a support bracket becomes something to plan for rather than an optional extra.
If you have not settled on a stance yet, a card at or near the clearance limit is a reasonable reason to choose horizontal, at least until a support arm is fitted for the vertical option.
Clearance is the headline number, but confirm two others before committing to a specific card: the radiator or fan mounting size if you plan to add liquid cooling, since a wide card can sometimes interfere with a front-mounted radiator's fans, and your power supply's wattage against the card's actual draw, since a 368mm flagship card typically needs more power than a mid-range model of similar length.
Check current options in the graphics card range against the 368mm figure directly, or browse the GPU best sellers if you want to see which current cards are actually popular at that size before deciding.
Yes, when measured correctly. The figure should be checked against your card with its power cable attached, not the length printed on the retail box alone.
Nearly all of them, though it is worth checking your specific model's listed length with a connector attached rather than assuming based on the category alone.
Horizontally is the safer default at that length, since the frame carries the weight through simple contact instead of the slot and riser cable taking it all.
