best 8 inch long gfx card

[dontsh00tmesanta]

I'm wanting a gtx 970 but it's too long for my case

My case combined with all my hard drive bays being full can only support 8in card. Had a bigger 9600gt but had empty bays....I'm sad.. Plz help guys

Can you relocate the drives, like to the back side of the case(where the wires hide)?

You can have your cake and 8 it too!

Measuring merely 17cm in length, the card, specially built for small form factor PCs based on mini-ITX motherboards.

That's actually under 7 inches!

The next question is whether that's the best 8-inch-or-less card. I think I saw another 970 like this recently.

Wow, that is amazing. Kind of weird to require an 8 pin connector with only a 400 watt psu though. Is that correct, I wonder?

GTX 970 requires either 2 6-pin connectors or 1 8-pin. They probably couldn't fit 2 6-pins on such a small card. As for the 400 Watt PSU...that's just an estimate.

Edit: I found [thread=2410573]where I'd seen[/thread] the other <7in GTX 970. ASUS might be better than Gigabyte.

Edit2: Somebody posted a picture of this dual-fan Zotac there, which PCPartPicker says is exactly 8 inches.

Awesome!!!!! Nah all my bays are used up. I can prolly get some 5.25 adapters and put some up there but idk

 

[dontsh00tmesanta]

Got a 750w corsair with I believe 72A on 12v rail it's just the size of case

Actually the 970 is my target card
