Looks like they're going into the HTPC or microITX design low profile now? I always hated long cards, I've had problems with some long cards in the past and had to buy a different case because the long card would hit the HDD bracket. The old Gravis UltraSound back in the 90's was one of the longest cards I've ever had and was a headache to fit into my 486 at the time.
Question is, with such a low profile like that, will it be up to the task for heavy gaming and have adequate cooling with just 1 fan?Reply

Can you please do an article with CUDA only benchmarks comparing various NVIDIA only GPUs. Replyjaydee - Thursday, October 11, 2012 - link
No displayport on any of these? Really? ReplyConficio - Thursday, October 11, 2012 - link
In the table both Gigabyte cards are listed with the same clockspeeds,, while the detailed text says one id higher clocked. ReplyConficio - Thursday, October 11, 2012 - link
Don't listen to me. They are both overclocked the same way?? Replyjaydee - Thursday, October 11, 2012 - link
I think the differentiator is the amount of RAM, not the clock speeds. THe more expensive card has 2GB of GDDR5, the cheaper one has 1GB. ReplyTeknobug - Wednesday, October 17, 2012 - link
