00:00:00.359 --> 00:00:06.440
so today's video is going to be about length the length of these graphics

00:00:04.120 --> 00:00:12.240
cards so I have three graphics cards here today the first one is the brand

00:00:08.400 --> 00:00:13.679
new gtx480 this is a PNY card so the

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

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

00:00:20.400 --> 00:00:29.039
inches this graphics card is exactly 10.5 in long it reaches that very Mark

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

00:00:31.080 --> 00:00:37.440
some even smaller cards is that the PCI Express power connectors are up on the

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

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

00:00:44.920 --> 00:00:52.559
the 5870 and this is just for comparison purposes here can I actually get like an

00:00:49.559 --> 00:00:53.840
overhead shot of all three cards can you

00:00:52.559 --> 00:00:57.120
uh can you are you able to do that without the strap getting in the way

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

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

00:01:04.760 --> 00:01:10.200
little bit unnecessary to me because you can see that quite a bit of this is

00:01:08.080 --> 00:01:14.600
actually just a random plastic so they probably could have made this card 10.5

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

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

00:01:21.439 --> 00:01:28.159
this is one of the longest cards on the market with the plastic shroud that it

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

00:01:31.880 --> 00:01:37.040
full if I could remember how long this was so that's

00:01:35.479 --> 00:01:45.119
another 10.5 12 and A4 11.5 1.75 in longer than

00:01:42.720 --> 00:01:51.719
the gtx480 so thank you for checking out my video about the length of the GeForce

00:01:48.439 --> 00:01:51.719
GTX 480
