Here are some pics of it in my system!  Do you believe this card is 10.4 Inches o_0



And here is just a photo of how its looks

Yes by a fair bit, the 5850 is 9.5 Inches the GTX 260 216 Core is 10.4 Inches, The GTX 260 216 Core is almost as big as the 5870

Yeah, I currently have a 5850... I'm not really into hardcore gaming as much as I used to be.


I want to play starcraft 2 ):

When you have to pay for your own power bill, is when you realise a high-powered graphics card is not the best thing to be running. <.<

You should get a better CPU.
I hate stock fans ):
You can get good HSF's for like 40-50 bucks.

dude might want to be careful with the PSU. TT's aren't the most efficient and you have just installed a power-sucking heater into your computer, on top of that you only have a 450w.
