XFX HD-687A-ZDFC Actual Size

[stupidcomputers]

Hoping someone with this card can help me out. My mATX case only allows for a very limited GPU card length: 10.1 in. XFX states this card is 10.3 inches long, but I see other 6870 cards like the Diamond 6870 listing as 9.8 in. long.

Aren't both boards based on the same reference design? Shouldn't their length be the same?

If you have this card, could you measure it and report back if the manufacturer specs are accurate?

Thanks

The XFX you linked to is not a reference design. Where as the only Diamond 6870 I saw on Newegg is.

I know the cooler is a different design, but assumed the board underneath was the same.

Any recommendations on a quiet 6870 based card?
