It definitely looks much smaller than 3 fan version, judging by the positioning of the paper connectors. I doubt it'll be shorter than the founders edition though.
I suspect you're right. We have gone from years of Founders Edition cards all being 267mm in length to now much longer cards requiring bigger towers just to house a GPU. Hopefully the second generation of Ampere is cooler and we go back to normal sized cards again.
I have emailed the manufacturer - I will let you know when I get a reply.
Looks like someone on Reddit has had a response and the dimensions are:
The dimension of INNO3D GEFORCE RTX 3080 TWIN X2 OC is 274 mm (L) x 120 mm (H) x 3 slot (W).
If I get a reply from INNO3D I will update this thread to confirm the above specs are correct.
Will do but the issue will be its the only small rtx 3080 card thats going to be sold in the UK and Overclockers is the only place selling it so I imagine its going to be VERY popular!

Thanks for checking! I'm just hoping people will go for versions with bigger coolers...

Went for the Palit in the end - fits with a bit of breathing room and is quite low compared to some.
Looks like the board is 274mm (edited and corrected on that site, so one would presume efforts are being made as regards accuracy)

This thread ideally would have a few more cards listed including the smaller ones.

Should have reasonable availability too. The cooler on my Palit is nothing special and temps are fine, so I think the big brands may have overestimated the cooling needs.
Make sure you have enough height in your case too. Mine only has a max clearance of 14cm above the motherboard. The Tuf gaming is listed as 12.6cm height but that does not seem to include the little screen as someone measured it and it was more like 14cm. The FE, MSI Ventus and EVGA XC3 cards are all about the same height as the PCI-e bracket. Many others are much taller

The Palit is bracket height too. I wouldn't mind so much if Asus had put the dooda at the front of the card, but it looks perfectly positioned to hit drive bay supports in smaller cases.
