I got the 5870 on release date. Didn't bother checking whether it would fit beforehand.

Installed it into my case with 2mm to spare, haha!

lol good thing i didnt bought a 5870... my 5850 barely fit in my case and my case isnt small either mid ATX and still barely fit thanks to that 2 6pin connector...

@TheIggyTech i hope the 6950 the 6950 is stronger then the 5870

@TheIggyTech i dont know, what one



[TheIggyTech]

I had the decision of going with either a 6950 for 240$, a 6870 for around 170$, or a 5870 for 170$. Take a guess which one I picked.

@RKProduktions I'm not quite sure what I said right here, but it can easily run GTA IV as well.
