Best 9.5" Length Vid Card?

[jsabo]

Hey guys,

I shot myself in the foot a couple years back when I bought a case that could fit a 9.5" vid card max. Currently have an XFX 5850. What do you think would be the best upgrade currently that fits the dim requirements?

Thanks.

No limit? 7870 is still about 9.5" in length...

If I remember right, the GTX 670 fits the bill.

Only trick is that you will need to find one with an aftermarket HSF unit, or plan on installing an aftermarket HSF yourself.

*Edit: Scratch that. From the Anandtech review:

We’ll start at the back as this is really where NVIDIA’s fascination with small size makes itself apparent. The complete card is 9.5” long, however the actual PCB is far shorter at only 6.75” long, 3.25” shorter than the GTX 680’s PCB

Oh, I replied to this in the other thread....

I said the GTX 670 since the PCB is only 6.75" long.
