8800GT length
I keep reading reviews that say "this card is really long, it might not fit all cases." Can't anyone measure the damned thing and report, in inches or cm, the length? Anything less is useless information! |

Anything less is useless information! I have the EVGA 8800GT and it's 9" long. It's just your standard full-length card. As long your case can take a full-length card you'll be fine. BTW - almost every mfg publishes the dimensions of their cards on their websites. -Riff |

8800GT length
It will fit in any modern case ... such as the Antec SLK 1650B.
But don't put a hard drive in line with the pci-e slot. It is as long as a standard ATX mobo that uses the backmost mounting standoffs, but the 6 pin cable is even longer. It will not fit in older cases where the drive bays extend over the back of the mobo .. or over those rear standoffs. I'm just too lazy to open my box and measure it. johns |

Anything less is useless information! I think it's as long as the 8800 GTS, but shorter than the 8800 GTX ? I would like to know too, because a 8800 GTX wouldn't fit in my case |

The non-reference PCB from Gigabyte is shorter. From my measurements of the card from the available pictures (e.g. http://www.newegg.com/Product/Produc...82E16814125081 ), its length is 210 mm +-5 mm. The ATI 3850/70 cards are long, too. They are of the same length as the reference 8800GT cards. However, here is the very short non- reference design 3850 card (something like 190 mm long), http://en.expreview.com/?p=100 (Unika) http://en.expreview.com/?p=63 (MAXSUN) http://www.newegg.com/Product/Produc...82E16814140086 (Apollo) |

It also produces the "short" 3850 and 3870, as was announced on 2 January 2008, http://www.triplex.com.tw/english/pr...ati/hd3870.htm I wonder where I could get this card (short 3870, that is) ? Will it be exported to North America/Australia/Western Europe ??? When ?? |

A longer card would not fit in my Arctic Cooling T1 case. The 3850 from Powercolor is shorter, but its fan is loud and doesnt power down. Michael |

Anything less is useless information! Galaxy mnakes one that is non reference with a Zalman like HSF and is shorter than most of the others. I have that one and an Asus 8800GT and had no problems fitting either into my PC's. The 7950GX2 I used to have was quite a bit longer than 8800GT. |
