Hey guys. Bought an HIS turbo x1950 512 model the other day, and it ended up not fitting my case (An Asus T3).
I need a similarly spec'd card, ATI, Nvidia or otherwise (basically all I need is a powerful mofo with a budget of £100 / $210) to run games and vista aero nicely. Don't give a squit about DX10 or anything.
The challenge? it's dimensions must be equal to or less than 20.5cm length, 10.8 height and 1.6cm width. So no fatty cooling systems. Ohyeah. And a 300w psu has to cope with it, 2 sata hdds and 1 dvd writer.
I'll be insanely grateful to anyone who can offer their expertise.
-edit- I have found a card I'll be more than happy with. An 8600gts 256mb. Seems to run alot faster than the x1950, but should I spend the extra and go for the 512 model? it still fits within my budget.
