alright guys another video card launch another lengthened physical comparison so this is the Nvidia reference GeForce GTX 560 and I'm going to show you just how long it is and what are the odds it's going to fit in your case compared to a couple of other popular GPUs on the market so I'm going to flip it over which is going to make it a little bit easier to measure due to the shape of the shroud and let's do this card first I actually haven't done this off camera so I have no idea and it's just a hair over nine inches long so nine and one I guess that's 1/16 nine and 1/16 so the first thing we should compare that against is its direct competition in the market which is the Radeon 6870 so this one this is a funny decision to make because you can see AMD has actually put a longer shroud on this card than the length of the PCB so they've actually made it longer than it actually is so for this guy what we're going to end up with is nine and 7/8 inches so it has a slight advantage in size over the 6870 now the next card in our little informal test here is going to be a gtx 570 this one is going to weigh in at a whopping ten and nine sixteenths of an inch so it's got a full inch plus over the gtx 560 reference card and then last but not least I'm going to also show for comparison the Radeon 69 70 okay so this one is almost 11 inches so 10 and 10 and 3/4 I guess that is so something to bear in mind about this comparison here is that the GTX 570 is also exactly the same physically as the GTX 580 and that also goes for the 69 70 which is exactly the same size as the 69 50 bearing in mind that these are all reference cards so if there's any aftermarket coolers or aftermarket PCB designed ones they can be slightly different so the GTX 560 is truly a lightweight in terms of its stature but a huge a view eight in terms of its performance
