But when am I going to get a proper successor to my RX 6650?

That was the last one that would actually fit in my ITX case for couch gaming. Two years later and the closest is the 7600 XT and there is basically no performance improvement.

they make a few 7900 gre's in dial slot size with only 280 mm length

My 6650 is 200 mm long. 280 is significantly longer.

But it's also mostly the hight. Powercolor Fighter 6650XT is 39mm tall and 200mm long (dual slot is fine). So many of these cards have plastic shit so that the height protrudes over the backplate and if vendors cared, it would fit.

Fractal Design Era. Silver with the white oak top.

Gorgeous enough to go under the TV without drawing too much attention.

It can take cards up to almost 300mm in length, it's the height that's a problem. Especially since they insist on putting the extra power on top of most cards, so you have to add an additional 10 mm for just the cable on top of the plastic crap.

[Edit] Ryzen and Radeon make for a very compelling setup when combined with SteamOS.
