11.1 according to one of the reviews, and they also have a pic of it lined up against other cards like the 295/4870x2, and its a tad longer :eek:, so looks like a 5850 for me,a s ive just got this case so don't fancy hacking the drive cage to bits :D

Ive seen this case with a 4870x2 in it like, but it looked tight, so i doubt the 5870 will go in being a tad longer, still the 5850 is still a cracker of a card, not much slower than the 5870, and its £100 less. :)
 
screw it, could you change my 5850 back to the powercolor (which i had originally :mad: )

they better be good because ive heard bad things about them :o

AFAIK the card sucks in air through those ports and then exhausts the hot air out of the back of the case.

You will want to watch out for clearance, this video card clocks in at a full 10.75" inches long to the edge of the red vents on the back. You can see a close-up of the top vents above, the air that escapes here is very hot and does exhaust into your case. If however, you have a side panel fan or fan on the back of the chassis near the expansion slots, it could potentially exhaust this hot air.

Two ports at the back are cosmetic, the ones on the side do exhaust hot air in to the system.

Why was Virus sold 4 of these cards. In many places i thought it was limited to 1 each. That would have been much more fair to everyone so people could grab one whilst stocks tight.

Instead because a guy stays up for 4 days or whatever on the trot, and seems to think that is cool, he grabs 4 cards(according to him):rolleyes:

Just a thought.:)
 
Thanks Fatboy!!! Picked mine up before... After going to your old warehouse :o I forgot you guys had moved haha.

Installed now, just need to get some drivers installed.
