x800xl owners please help

Post by Aris » Wed Feb 15, 2006 5:27 am

I just need someone to measure the PCB board, from back to front, and tell me how long the card is. x-bit labs' recent power consumption charts says its 7.3", but it also says that the 6600gt i have at home right now is 6.8". which its not. its exactly 6". So i'm not exactly sure how their measuring the cards and thus want someone here who actually has one to see if you could measure it for me and tell me.

i just need the length of the PCB board itself.

thanks in advance.

I didnt find a tape measure but a qualitätsmasstab garantiert weissbuche ritz-kratz-wetterfest gelenke ölen measuring stick of the folding type made of wood, and it measures 18,9cm or 7,3" measured from the inside of the pci-plate. so x-bit seems to have the corect info on this card.

Hi, I have the HIS agp vivo version of this card and the PCB measures 22cm or ~8.75". Do any manufacturers list dimensions for gfx cards? You might have to check the exact card your looking at if space is tight.

no,most manufacturers dont list physical deminsions.

ok, that puts the x800xl out of the list of possibilites for me. my MAX card length is 7.25".

so i will have to settle for either the x1600xt or the upcomming 7600gt

thanks guys
