Best short card?

[Snapshot]

I'd like a new GPU for a system in an Antec Solo case. It won't quite take a full length card and I think it would roger the airflow anyway. So what's my best option, a 4670? The current card is an 8600GTS.

I read these are shorter than the reference design boards but i am not sure how they compare to an 8600.

Some manufacturers are making shorter pcb versions of the HD4850's....I know that Sapphire has one.

Best bet IMO

Thanks both. I think Sapphire are indeed making a 4850 that's the same length as the 4830 and Palit also have a short card. The 4830 is almost certainly better than my 8600 and probably enough for my needs.

4830 looks to be around 60-70% faster than the 8600GTS based purely on hardware specs. Also it looks like they overclock to almost 4850 speeds fairly easy.

my xpert vision 9600gt is a lot shorter than my msi 9600gt
