all right guys another video card launch another length and physical comparison
0:05
so this is the NVIDIA reference GeForce
0:08
GTX 560 and I'm going to show you just
0:12
how long it is and what are the odds it's going to fit in your case compared
0:16
to a couple of other popular gpus on the market so I'm going to flip it over
0:20
which is going to make it a little bit easier to measure due to the shape of the Shroud and let's do this card first
0:25
I actually haven't done this off camera so I have no idea and it's just a hair
0:30
over 9 in long so 9 and 1 I guess that's
0:33
a 16th 9 and 1 16th so the first thing
0:36
we should compare that to against is its direct competition in the market which
0:40
is the Radeon 6870 so this one this is a funny
0:46
decision to make because you can see AMD has actually put a longer shroud on this
0:51
card than the length of the PCB so they've actually made it longer than it
0:55
actually is so for this guy what we're
0:58
going to end up with is 9 and 78 in so
1:02
it has a slight advantage in size over
1:06
the 6870 now the next card in our little
1:10
informal test here is going to be a GTX
1:14
570 this one is going to weigh in at a
1:17
whopping 10 and 916 of an inch so it's
1:21
got a full inch plus over the GTX 560
1:26
reference card and then last but not least I'm going to also show for
1:30
comparison the Radeon
1:34
69 70 okay so this one is almost 11 in
1:39
so 10 and uh 10 and 3/4 I guess that is
1:44
so something to bear in mind about this comparison here is that the GTX 570 is
1:49
also exactly the same physically as the GTX 580 and that also goes for the 6970
1:56
which is exactly the same size as the 6950 bearing in mind these are all
2:00
reference cards so if there's any aftermarket coolers or aftermarket PCB
2:04
designed ones they could be slightly different so the GTX 560 is truly a
2:08
lightweight in terms of its stature but a huge heavy weight in terms of its
2:14
performance
