Modern gfx cards length

[adren]

Hey guys, does anyone have the dimensions for cards like 4850, 4870, gtx260 etc?

My hard drive enclosure is quite big and there is only just enough clearance with my current ageing card, would be handy to know before I make a decision.

Thanks.

4870 = 24cm or 9.45in
4850 = 23.5cm or 9.25in

3850 = 24.5cm or 9.65in
3870 = 23cm or 9in
3870x2 = 26.67cm or 10.5in

8800gts = 22.8cm or 9in
8800gtx = 28cm or 11in
9800gtx = 26.66cm or 10.5in
gtx200 = 26.7cm or 10.51in

Great thanks! not really much diff between 4850 and 4870 then but still 4cm longer than my current card :s

Do you think they will ever get bigger than they are now will cases gradually get bigger to accomadate size or is it gonna stop where it is?

i would imagine if anything things will get smaller. I cant see the need in getting any bigger than some of the top cards at the moment

isnt the 4850x2 the longest at the moment?

They would need a new case standard if they got any longer, I remember one of the old voodoo cards used to be even more ridiculous.

Cant ou remove your harddrive bay?

Is it a cheap case or a nice one?

Have a go at mounting your HD's somewhere else!

Yea, it's an original p180 so I could just use the bottom hard drive enclosure but I find it's quite a lot noisier when I put them in there.
