I have an EVGA 8800GTS (320 meg) and it JUST fits in my Antec 900 setup. I am getting a Sapphire ATI Radeon HD 4870 tomorrow.
Is this card bigger does anyone know?

I think the 4870 in longer than the 8800gts

The idea of any hi-fi system is to reproduce the source material as faithfully as possible, and to deliberately add distortion to everything you hear (due to amplifier deficiencies) because it sounds 'nice' is simply not high fidelity. If that is what you want to hear then there is no problem with that, but by adding so much additional material (by way of harmonics and intermodulation) you have a tailored sound system, not a hi-fi. - Rod Elliot, ESP

I'm just going by the images on newegg, it looks longer imo, you could probably find the dimensions on googleWhite-Fusion wrote:

Hd 4870 Dimensions: 220x100x33 mm (the last figure is maximum thickness of the graphics card).
8800GTS Dimensions: 220x100x32mm
I googled it, I guess my eyes are bad XD

My 4870 fits in my antec 900 quite nicely.
Although I don't have the HDD cage in the middle, if it were, the GPU would have a hard time fitting.

A little trick to gain extra space in the 900 is to align the HDD bays and CD/DVD drives up to the absolute front of the case as opposed to the slightly recessed position they come in.
I did that yesterday to manage my cables and i quite like the little extra room i get inside.
Also remember that the two hdd cages don't have to sit at the bottom of the case. You could have one at the top and one on the bottom with the CD/DVD in the middle. Should give you extra room for the graphics card.

stay with NVIDIA and get a 9800 GX2
they just rock
other night i was getting over 250 fps on cod 4
Maybe because the 4870 is just as fast as the GX2, but costs less, uses less power, and has a far superiour cooling solution?Richard2000 wrote:

The only thing that makes the GX2 worthwhile is folding and GPGPU apps.

Why god why?
once upon a midnight dreary, while i pron surfed, weak and weary, over many a strange and spurious site of ' hot xxx galore'. While i clicked my fav'rite bookmark, suddenly there came a warning, and my heart was filled with mourning, mourning for my dear amour, " 'Tis not possible!", i muttered, " give me back my free hardcore!"..... quoth the server, 404.

"people in ny have a general idea of how to drive. one of the pedals goes forward the other one prevents you from dying"
it's about 10 inches.

Spoiler (highlight to read):
Possibly the nerdiest "That's what she said" joke ever. Sweet.
