00:00:00,359 --> 00:00:06,440
so today's video is going to be about length the length of these graphics

2
00:00:04,120 --> 00:00:12,240
cards so I have three graphics cards here today the first one is the brand

3
00:00:08,400 --> 00:00:13,679
new gtx480 this is a PNY card so the

4
00:00:12,240 --> 00:00:16,720
first thing we're going to do is compare it against no no the first thing we're

5
00:00:15,679 --> 00:00:23,000
going to do is we're going to take the actual length of this particular graphics card so this tape measure is in

6
00:00:20,400 --> 00:00:29,039
inches this graphics card is exactly 10.5 in long it reaches that very Mark

7
00:00:27,279 --> 00:00:33,879
right there and it doesn't go much past that and one ADV Vantage it has over

8
00:00:31,080 --> 00:00:37,440
some even smaller cards is that the PCI Express power connectors are up on the

9
00:00:35,920 --> 00:00:41,920
top of the card so that means as long as you have 10.5 in of clearance in your

10
00:00:40,039 --> 00:00:47,760
case you should be able to install a gtx480 in it now the next one we have is

11
00:00:44,920 --> 00:00:52,559
the 5870 and this is just for comparison purposes here can I actually get like an

12
00:00:49,559 --> 00:00:53,840
overhead shot of all three cards can you

13
00:00:52,559 --> 00:00:57,120
uh can you are you able to do that without the strap getting in the way

14
00:00:55,680 --> 00:01:01,519
okay so you can see that it is a little bit longer if we take the measurements

15
00:00:59,199 --> 00:01:06,320
of this card you can see it's just exactly 11 in long and now that seems a

16
00:01:04,760 --> 00:01:10,200
little bit unnecessary to me because you can see that quite a bit of this is

17
00:01:08,080 --> 00:01:14,600
actually just a random plastic so they probably could have made this card 10.5

18
00:01:12,119 --> 00:01:18,520
in but it does also use the power connectors up on the top of the board so

19
00:01:16,240 --> 00:01:23,079
as long as you have room for 11 in then you will be okay last one is the 5970

20
00:01:21,439 --> 00:01:28,159
this is one of the longest cards on the market with the plastic shroud that it

21
00:01:25,720 --> 00:01:33,399
goes that goes out past it it actually is about 12 and A4 in long so that is a

22
00:01:31,880 --> 00:01:37,040
full if I could remember how long this was so that's

23
00:01:35,479 --> 00:01:45,119
another 10.5 12 and A4 11.5 1.75 in longer than

24
00:01:42,720 --> 00:01:51,719
the gtx480 so thank you for checking out my video about the length of the GeForce

25
00:01:48,439 --> 00:01:51,719
GTX 480
