so today's video is going to be about length the length of these graphics
0:04
cards so I have three graphics cards here today the first one is the brand
0:08
new gtx480 this is a PNY card so the
0:12
first thing we're going to do is compare it against no no the first thing we're
0:15
going to do is we're going to take the actual length of this particular graphics card so this tape measure is in
0:20
inches this graphics card is exactly 10.5 in long it reaches that very Mark
0:27
right there and it doesn't go much past that and one ADV Vantage it has over
0:31
some even smaller cards is that the PCI Express power connectors are up on the
0:35
top of the card so that means as long as you have 10.5 in of clearance in your
0:40
case you should be able to install a gtx480 in it now the next one we have is
0:44
the 5870 and this is just for comparison purposes here can I actually get like an
0:49
overhead shot of all three cards can you
0:52
uh can you are you able to do that without the strap getting in the way
0:55
okay so you can see that it is a little bit longer if we take the measurements
0:59
of this card you can see it's just exactly 11 in long and now that seems a
1:04
little bit unnecessary to me because you can see that quite a bit of this is
1:08
actually just a random plastic so they probably could have made this card 10.5
1:12
in but it does also use the power connectors up on the top of the board so
1:16
as long as you have room for 11 in then you will be okay last one is the 5970
1:21
this is one of the longest cards on the market with the plastic shroud that it
1:25
goes that goes out past it it actually is about 12 and A4 in long so that is a
1:31
full if I could remember how long this was so that's
1:35
another 10.5 12 and A4 11.5 1.75 in longer than
1:42
the gtx480 so thank you for checking out my video about the length of the GeForce
1:48
GTX 480
