Closed - Quick video card question


Question

Posted

I have a GTX 580 in my computer and I found it quite difficult to fit it into my case. I was barely able to fit it into the case and getting it in there was excruciating. I was wondering if the physical size of this video card is similar to all new video cards or are they all back to normal size?

I'm looking to build a new computer soon and I'd like to know if I need to get a new case.

Get a bigger case. Mine has the space for 2 mother boards and a massive cooler. All video card are this big now and the 600 series is even larger

Do you know the exact model your current card is? For example EVGA 03G-P3-1584-RX. Then I can look up the exact dimensions of your card for comparison.

Here's some general length ranges for a few new high end cards:

GTX 680's range from 10" to 11.8"

GTX 690's seem to all be 11"

Radeon HD 7970's are 10.4" to 12"

An Radeon HD 7990 is 12.4" (holy crap that's big)
