so got my usual thing going on here with the length comparisons and the whatnots
0:05
so this is for the Radeon HT 6990 which as you guys may or may not
0:11
know already is one
0:14
huge video card so it is
0:18
exactly 1T long pretty
0:21
much pretty much exactly yes that's the word I was looking for okay which makes
0:27
it 30 1/2 cm long from the PCI back
0:31
plate all the way to the very end so this Compares quite favorably with
0:36
probably only one other card the 50970 which is the same length however
0:41
if we take some other cards like the single GPU
0:46
6970 which is just short of 11 in Long
0:50
work our way down to the GTX 580 which is 10 and 1/2 in long then down to the
0:57
6870 which is 9 and 78 in long and then
1:02
finally I've got a GTX 460 Hawk Edition here just for context uh so it's either
1:07
9 1/2 in long or it's stuck on there 9
1:11
and 1/2 in long with the Shroud or actually if you go by the PCB it is only
1:16
about 8 1/2 in long so that makes the
1:20
6970 or 6990 rather sorry the 6990 one
1:24
of the largest cards ever made for the
1:27
consumer Market it's also one of the heaviest it's quite a heavy card
1:31
although not compared to the ASUS Aries for example which is even heavier it's
1:35
got a shrouded back plate and yes it is quite long so if we were to measure this
1:41
in terms of cat lengths see I got a cat here eating my
1:46
garbage hey please don't eat
1:50
that see please don't knock over my garbage and eat it okay come here Cat
1:56
come on it's hard to grab a cat W have a
1:59
camera hanging around me there he is
2:02
okay come on stay up there okay so in terms of cat
2:07
lengths the 6990 is approximately oh okay about
2:14
about 665 of a cat so there you
2:18
go that is my new unit of measurement that I have
2:22
invented and that is my length video about the radon HD 6990 don't forget to
2:28
