gtx 970 exact height;.

[Robinski]

Hi, there.

I'm going to buy a GTX 970, and my choice has come down to a Gigabyte G1 ore a AVGA ACX version.
And i have one problem the Gigabyte GTX 970 may not fit, the resellers tell me it is 132mm high.
Now here is my question, is the hight of a graphics card measured from the top of the PCI-e lane ore from the PCB of the motherboard ?

No the website of the case maker does not specify the Max height

[FloRolf]

like, 2 slots?!

Am I missing the question?

He wants to know the height, from the bottom of the card to the top not the length.

Ahh, he has now edited the op.

 

@Robinski It is a dual slot card. meaning it will take up two PCI expansion slots in the back of your case.

The lenght of the PCI bracket is the exact same on all GPUs. It doesn't matter how it's measured, what matters is the extra height after the PCIe bracket.

 

Examples:

Gigabyte 970

 

EVGA ACX 970

 

Now, measure how much space left you have after the bracket; it's not a very scientific way of determining if it's going to fit but it's the best way to know if your case will actually support the damn card.

@Real_PhillBert

yea sorry i hit enter wen the text box was not selected, so only half of my question was up....

yes i know it is a 2 card slot, my case is a node 605 ..... so i need to know the exact depth (frome my pov this is height).

@Robinski Here is the EVGA GTX970 ACX PCB.

 

As you can see it doesnt extend any farther than the end of the PCI bracket. So I can say with confidence, if you have two slots available over a PCI-e slot, and have enough room for a 9.5" card, this card will fit.

@ForsakenLive

The space left comes down to 25mm, assuming that a gtx 9800 xfx card is the exact depth/height of a bracket ( 111mm )

This makes 111+25= 136mm. 

Is this assumption correct ?

You don't measure the card, you measure the bracket, which is always 120mm, everything the is taller than it is the extra. Those pictures show that it doesn't go over 20mm, it's just a tiny bit bigger.

@ForsakenLive.

Oke, i did not know that was 120mm.

Thanks for the answer !
