Don't worry, it's built to be manhandledOriginally Posted by M.Beier
Jonas, its not called pissing sampsa off, its called spam
when will nordichw get one? And hopefully you wont kill it - send it to Andreas, he will keep it safe - and distant from you
And why are you all so worried about the length? It's not like it's going to be used inside a case anyway

@zalbard Look at the size of the memchips, they are bigger on the second card in your comparison. Meaning you need to make it a bit smaller and rotate it to get something more accurate. It will either be of similar length or shorter. My guess is shorter.

I think why it appears shorter is the Asus card has a longer pcb height. Just look around the die. The asus card appears to be 3 of those squares in width while the stock is maybe 2.5. Also look at the dvi connector. There is room for barely 3 connectors if you squished them together, while on the Asus, you can fit nearly 4. The card looks more squarish, thus making it look shorter.
It appears to be 1-2 cm longer.

Doubt it's shorter, the image is not THAT bad. But of course, this is not a very accurate comparison...
Edit: take 2!

I'm guessing it'll be about 0.2" shorter than the stock 5970, meaning that you MIGHT be able to use it if your chassis (like mine) is just a touch too small for a full 5970. I measured and found I was slightly too short, off by a fraction of an inch. Either way, I can't wait till we have real reviews of this including measurements. In other news... am I correct in assuming that it'll be a 2x2GB card?
