Getting some conflicting information out there. Just wondering what the actual length of the 7970 PCB is? Anyone willing to measure for me who actually owns one? Best info I can get Online is 10.5in.

Thanks in advance.

I'm not at home to check mine, but if you trust Newegg at all, they've got one of the reference models showing these:

11.02" x 4.33" x 1.5"

I believe it is 11" as it was said to be as long as the 69xx, just with a slightly angled shroud.

Looking at the hexus.net review they say that the reference PCB is 10.5in and that the cooler on this card doesn't overlap the card like the reference design does. Reason I'm asking at all is because my GTX 570 has about 0.5in of wiggle room and it is 10.5in long total. The only thing that's freaking me out is on Newegg's page they list 11.4" x 5" x 1.5" as the dimensions for the card. I guess I'll figure it out once I get it out of the packaging.
