1
00:00:00,840 --> 00:00:06,480
as you may have guessed based on the fact that I'm holding a measuring tape

2
00:00:05,040 --> 00:00:12,080
we are going to be doing a length comparison with the new 6870 against a

3
00:00:09,880 --> 00:00:17,880
couple of the last generation high-end cards with which it will either compete

4
00:00:14,920 --> 00:00:22,279
or uh replace on the market so let's have a look let's start with the 6870 so

5
00:00:20,840 --> 00:00:27,840
we're measuring right from the back of the PCI bracket and because cameraman's

6
00:00:25,519 --> 00:00:32,119
measuring tape is inconveniently in inches we're going to have to go ahead

7
00:00:29,720 --> 00:00:36,200
and give the results in inches so if you want to come have a look over here right

8
00:00:33,680 --> 00:00:43,840
here from the top cameraman this is a nine and just a little bit over 3/4 of

9
00:00:39,480 --> 00:00:46,960
an inch so it's like 9 and uh 7/8 of an

10
00:00:43,840 --> 00:00:49,320
inch long and remember it makes a

11
00:00:46,960 --> 00:00:53,160
difference whether the PCI Express power connectors are on the back of the card

12
00:00:51,199 --> 00:00:58,600
or the top because if you got a card that's uh 9 and 78 of an inch long but

13
00:00:56,480 --> 00:01:03,079
it has a PCI Express connector hanging out the back of it that means you got

14
00:01:00,199 --> 00:01:10,200
account for that plug so this one is going to fit as long as you have 9 and

15
00:01:05,439 --> 00:01:13,400
78 in in your case so next up we have

16
00:01:10,200 --> 00:01:17,479
NVIDIA's ruler of the roost and this one

17
00:01:13,400 --> 00:01:19,520
is 102 in so the new 6870 which I don't

18
00:01:17,479 --> 00:01:26,640
actually know the performance of yet will uh compare at least in length quite

19
00:01:22,040 --> 00:01:30,479
favorably to the GTX 480 480 GTX that is

20
00:01:26,640 --> 00:01:33,799
and then AMD's 5870 is 11 in Long so the

21
00:01:30,479 --> 00:01:36,840
6870 is a little bit shorter than its

22
00:01:33,799 --> 00:01:38,520
previous generation similarly named

23
00:01:36,840 --> 00:01:46,960
cousins so thank you for checking out my length comparison with the 6870 against

24
00:01:41,520 --> 00:01:46,960
the GTX 480 as well as the HD 5870
