How big is the hd4870

[dicko555]

I have decided to get the HD4870 just one thing I need to check up on that is what are the dimensions I just need to make sure it will fit in my case. I am very exited about getting this as it will be a bit of a boost from what i have now.:)

I made a similar post somewhere. It's roughly the same size as an 8800GTS.

I think I will have to move my hard drives around to fit it in. Should be awesome i hope.

Thanks heaps for that pic micmal. I will have to move 1 HD but that is not going to be a problem. (MISSES BY THAT MUCH) 1/4 inch.

no no. I'm getting 2 4850s. I don't need to compensate for anything. ;)

Amen brother :) 2x 4850's are much longer than a 4870 ;)

Nice. I'll eventually upgrade as well, but I couldn't resist the humor of that one, lol.

[dicko555]

Just thought I would ask another size question as everyone seemed to like to talk about size ;)
Does anyone know the size (dimensions) of the HD4870x2 yet is it much longer than the HD4870, do we know a release date for it, and will the drivers allow us to change fan speeds?
