First Short GTX670!

Techpowerup - Zotac GTX670 twincooler graphics card detailed. the GTX 670 TwinCooler from ZOTAC is short (about 60 mm shorter than NVIDIA reference design card)!

"One aspect of NVIDIA's GeForce GTX 670 that blew us away, was its unusually short PCB for a high-performance GPU. NVIDIA's reference board still ended up being of average length, because NVIDIA's lateral-flow cooling assembly protruded beyond the PCB's length. AIC partners such as ZOTAC realised that custom-design graphicscards with short PCBs can be made to stay short, by opting for top-flow cooling solutions, something it materialised with the new GTX 670 TwinCooler (model: ZTGTX670-2GD5TCR001/ZT-60305-10P)."

Certainly a good idea, but I can't help but wonder about heat issues with it being that compact.

I am not worried about the format. Those days are over: I was messing around the other day and noticed that we had 3 news posts on the front page from the last two years.

I just appreciate your adding news!

The one thing I really liked about the 670 was that super small PCB. It seemed so dumb to have the cooler extend so far past it. I hope Zotac nailed the cooler design, they got the size just right.

That thing's as long as my HD6670, if not shorter!

Finally a card we can shove in tiny cases! *looks at his CoolerMaster Elite 360*

i think they made is short in the wrong direction though. I want to see more low profile cards so that we can make very slim but very powerful rigs.
