GTX 460 Size question

Hey all, I'm looking at a GTX 460 as an upgrade to my Xpertvision 8800GT.

Question is, how big is GTX 460, specifically the Palit model.

It wouldn't have been an issue before, but recently I installed another hard drive in my case and it only just fits with my 8800GT, which doesn't have any sort of massive plastic casing around it.

I'd rather not have to gut my tower and put everything into a new case.

Ah cool, its about 1.5 inches shorter, that's great, though i don't know if the dual slot will be a problem...lucfonzy

Is there a card in the port right next to your gfx card port? Otherwise it's should'nt be a problem (Ok, my Gainward GTX460 GS is actually slightly more than two port wide.

I have the MSI GTX 460 Cyclone, all the cards are about the same length.. it's actually one of the shortest cards i've owned in a while..i got used to long cards ever since the gtx 260..short of the dual slot thing, you shouldn't have a space issue.. just make sure no cables hit the fans.

It requires two powercables btw.

well the 8800gt was made of epic win :P

perhaps dual slot gpu's in your case are gathering up too much heat then due to idk lack of airflow in your case? if thats the case id stick to only single slot gpu's :P

of which the xfx hd 5770 is the best for the job (unless you dont mind going to asia for a shot at the galaxy gtx 470/465 Saber edition)

I at Chief Value.com (sister site to Newegg) there is a sale on the EVGA GTX 460, with a Starcraft II trial and a free Metro 2033 from steam, also free shipping. Altogether it's $155.00. I found this posted at Slickdeals.net and it was only posted yesterday. There is also an overclocked one at $10.00 more. Get it while it's hot! I wouldn't be telling people but I am broke as a dog right now so I'm out of the loop!

Damn, I live in the Uk... that is cheap, that translates to like £100, over here i would have to pay £150 for the cheapest. The games wouldn't run either seeing as it's PAL in the UK not NTSC. Do they ship overseas?

I don't know if they ship overseas - I haven't even gone to the site, but I got the news from a trusted source and others have confirmed it. I would just go to Chief Value.com and see. I am saddened that I can't get this card myself, because I am dead broke, but I would like to spread the news to others.

You won't see it until you add it to a cart and then choose the Starcraft II trial. They will then subtract the discount.
