now the first thing you might think of when you hear Titan foreign videos latest graphics card is it must be absolutely huge actually it's not that big so the Titan is compared to previous generation GeForce graphics cards like the 680 which was up till now the highest end single GPU kepler card is pretty much the same compared to a last generation dual GPU card the GTX 590 it is shorter it is shorter than a 590 oh that's cool okay so it's shorter than a 590 when we go way back to the launch premium Fermi card we find out the tightness no exactly the same but how does it compare to other GPUs that you might have in your system just for comparison sake so this right here is a reference GeForce GTX 650 Ti yeah that's a 650 Ti right yeah it's a 650 Ti so this guy right here is only a mere 6 inches long so by comparison the Titan which I'm going to swap out right here actually you know what let's have the Titan here for comparison with everything else so that's a 6 inch card so you want to check your case because the Titan is going to fit as long as your case accepts GPUs that are 27 centimeters or 10 and a half inches in length so here's a 6-inch card okay here's a 560 ti reference card for comparison so that right there is a 9 inch card so you can see there's an extra inch and a half here I'm just gonna bring out the 680 again so the 670 remember is the same length as the 680 so actually the titan is a touch longer than a 680 I was wrong about that so the 680 is a 10-inch card and the titan is as we measured before a 10 and a half inch card finally the 7970 which is the closest thing to a competitor for a single GPU card from the red camp is 11 inches long now this a funny decision that AMD made because you can see right here the PCB is not actually 11 inches long the PCB is only about 10 and wow look at that 10 and a half inches so it could have easily been the same length as the Titan but they opted to go with an extra bit of plastic on the other and which was a very odd decision so it's a single GPU card that has a PCB that's as big as a 690 or a 590 why did they do that well a couple things so it has six gigs of memory so it's loaded up to the nines with memory on this side and on the other side it also has one of the largest GPU with 7.1 billion transistors ever made so you're gonna have to have a very complicated power delivery system in order to make sure that that bad boy stays fed it has a beastly cooler so you can see there's a huge aluminum thin stack both on this side on this side which is over top of a vapor chamber and last but not least why does it need that complex VRM that's for GPU boost 2.0 which dynamically adjusts the voltage the fan speed and the clock speed of the card to hit various targets which are actually user definable on this particular card so what would it look like in a small chassis because one of the great things about Titan is it actually performs better and runs quieter than gtx 680 so this is what it would look like in the kind of enclosure where you might often see a gtx titan this enclosure accepts up to a 280 millimeter card and you can see titan fits in there just nicely this is an ITX case and i think that pretty much wraps it up for our physical size look at the GeForce GTX Titan don't forget to subscribe to - tech tips from on unboxings reviews and other computer - oh I forgot something whoa whoa whoa whoa whoa we were almost oh yes ah ok so when we're talking thousand-dollar video cards like the Titan then we have to start talking about other super uber expensive video cards like say for example the a soos Aries - so this guy right here is a liquid-cooled dual 7970 gigahertz Edition car that comes with an extra radiator and is as you can clearly see much larger than a Titan so if you're concerned about a Titan fitting in your case you better be really concerned about this guy it's almost a foot long right there it is actually taller than a standard board so a standard board would actually be only about four inches high whereas this board is five inches high so there's a full extra inch along the top plus it requires a radiator to actually cool the dual GPU so that's a thick single 120 millimeter radiator stay tuned and don't forget to subscribe - tech tips because we will be testing the Titan against the Aries - to see who is the king of the ludicrously fast expensive GPUs although probably more appropriate test would be two areas twos versus three Titans because that would then be about the same price I don't know if we can get our hands on three Titans in two areas twos but yeah
