AMD Radeon HD 6970 & 6950 Length Comparsion Linus Tech Tips

This short video from Linus Tech Tips presents a concise length comparison between AMD Radeon HD 6970 and 6950, noting that both cards share the same overall length. The host states that the 6970 is just 1/16 of an inch longer than 10 and 3/4 inches, which is roughly 10 and 13/16 inches in total length. He then compares these dimensions to the previous generation Radeon 5870, which is described as just over 11 inches long, and to NVIDIA’s GTX 580 and GTX 570, which are both exactly 10 and 1/2 inches long. The host also mentions that the 6870 is included for reference and provides the approximate measurement for that card as well, around 9 and 7/8 inches. The video contrasts the more compact, square back design of the AMD cards with the longer Batmobile-like shroud seen on other models, emphasizing that AMD opted for a simpler back shape. Viewers are given a quick, tangible sense of how the new cards stack up in length relative to a few major contemporaries, which can influence case compatibility and airflow planning in small to mid-size builds. The format stays focused on measurements, with the speaker inviting viewers to consider the practical implications of these dimensions for PC enclosure fit and overall system design.
