00:00:00.840 --> 00:00:06.480
as you may have guessed based on the fact that I'm holding a measuring tape

00:00:05.040 --> 00:00:12.080
we are going to be doing a length comparison with the new 6870 against a

00:00:09.880 --> 00:00:17.880
couple of the last generation high-end cards with which it will either compete

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

00:00:20.840 --> 00:00:27.840
we're measuring right from the back of the PCI bracket and because cameraman's

00:00:25.519 --> 00:00:32.119
measuring tape is inconveniently in inches we're going to have to go ahead

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

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

00:00:39.480 --> 00:00:46.960
an inch so it's like 9 and uh 7/8 of an

00:00:43.840 --> 00:00:49.320
inch long and remember it makes a

00:00:46.960 --> 00:00:53.160
difference whether the PCI Express power connectors are on the back of the card

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

00:00:56.480 --> 00:01:03.079
it has a PCI Express connector hanging out the back of it that means you got

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

00:01:05.439 --> 00:01:13.400
78 in in your case so next up we have

00:01:10.200 --> 00:01:17.479
NVIDIA's ruler of the roost and this one

00:01:13.400 --> 00:01:19.520
is 102 in so the new 6870 which I don't

00:01:17.479 --> 00:01:26.640
actually know the performance of yet will uh compare at least in length quite

00:01:22.040 --> 00:01:30.479
favorably to the GTX 480 480 GTX that is

00:01:26.640 --> 00:01:33.799
and then AMD's 5870 is 11 in Long so the

00:01:30.479 --> 00:01:36.840
6870 is a little bit shorter than its

00:01:33.799 --> 00:01:38.520
previous generation similarly named

00:01:36.840 --> 00:01:46.960
cousins so thank you for checking out my length comparison with the 6870 against

00:01:41.520 --> 00:01:46.960
the GTX 480 as well as the HD 5870
