GTX Titan Physical Comparison Size & Length vs ARES 2 GTX 680 7970 Linus Tech Tips

The video provides a physical size comparison of the NVIDIA GTX Titan against several other GPUs to help viewers gauge whether it will fit in their PC case. Linus explains that despite the Titan’s notable hype, its actual length is similar to or slightly longer than some high-end single-GPU cards like the GeForce GTX 680 and the 560 Ti reference card, while still being shorter than larger 7970 boards. He details exact measurements: Titan is a 10 to 12 inch class card, the 680 sits around 10 inches, the 560 Ti reference around 9 inches, and the AMD Aries 2 GHz Edition stretches near a foot with a notably taller PCB and radiator requirement. The discussion also covers the Titan’s robust power delivery system, including VRM design and a substantial cooler with a vapor chamber, designed to sustain GPU Boost 2.0 and dynamic clock adjustments. For viewers curious about real-world fit, the host demonstrates Titan inside an ITX enclosure and explains how the card’s dimensions interact with common case layouts, emphasizing case clearance for long GPUs. The segment then pivots to a compare-and-tease for the AMD Aries 2, illustrating a much larger dual-GPU liquid-cooled card and hinting at upcoming benchmarks to determine who is the king of ultra-premium GPUs. Linus hints at future testing and collaboration while noting the Aries 2’s physical heft and cooling needs, promising more in-depth performance coverage in subsequent videos.
