Hey guys,
I wasn't really sure where to search for this (aside for looking at specs for tons of videocards online individually... which would take forever), so I figured collectively we would know what the shortest length "reasonable" videocard was.
Before anyone asks, I'm building a custom case, and to cut down on material costs and machining time I'm trying to get mostly small components and squeeze them in as tight as possible. I don't play particularly demanding games (Starcraft II, Mafia II, Just Cause 2, and Civ V all at 1920x1080), so if it gets playable framerates I'd be happy. I'd prefer an nvidia card because I'm planning on learning CUDA at some point, but its not strictly necessary.
Budget isn't too much of a concern (I figure I won't be spending $700 for the GTX 590...), but I'd like to stay around/under $250 or so.
If anyone has suggestions, I'd love to hear them!
Thanks,
neocpp
