which graphics cards don't fit the shuttle?

[Jimmy Little]

maybe a silly question, but there must be one or two that don't fit in the little box of joy?

[Proplus]

Not quite sure....I'll have a fiddle to see if I can fit the LeadTek FX5900U I got in one of my systems into my Shuttle tomorrow. I've measured it, and it does seem to fit...

[Jimmy Little]

thanks, don't go to any trouble, it was just a question i wondered about... thanks Jimmy

Any two slotter, Geforce 6800 series, Sapphire Radeon 9700/9800 PRO/XT Ultimate.

Are the Sapphire cards two slots??

[Jimmy Little]

with graphics cards getting bigger and bigger... how will the shuttles and likes of deal with this? do youi reckon the size will change?

Probably yeah. Shuttle will just increase the size of their units slightly to accomodate two slot cards if they feel its neccessary.

[Jimmy Little]

yeah or maybe just move the AGP slot more to the right giving them a bit more room, it must be something they have to think about

All of the ATI stock gpu will fit its the ones that come with passive cooling thats the problem, I cant even consider getting nvidia got a case man modded into the case right behind the card!

[Jimmy Little]

has anyone evr seen a modded case where the G card pops out the side, like a engine in a big american car pops out the hood

[zixiazhang]

Yeah I have some one modded their case so they could fit a vga cooler on their 9800pro it looked ok but you gotta watch where you put your fingers!

Okay, might be a stupid question, but can I run a 9800pro through my SN45g? Just noticed the price of these have really come down and I'm still using an old GF3 (original).

In answer to the title question, my AIW 9800 SE fits but I can't seem to get it to boot, might not be enough juice in the PSU (the AIW takes an extra power connector).

Hello

Just to say I'm currently running a GeForce FX 5700 Ultra in my RefleXion Shuttle, which is based on the large GeForce FX 5900 PCB design, and it fits and operates fine. The only slight trouble is that the molex connector on the card makes wiring it all up a bit of struggle, but that aside, it's fine. I believe the new GeForce 6800 cards are roughly the same size (although the cooling systems vary from single slot to double slot, so be careful).

Kind Regards

Jonty

P.S. The last card I had was a Radeon 9600XT which was comparatively tiny, if you're looking for a small but powerful card.
