Does anyone own this particular XFX 7950 GPU?

Without a doubt ... it's less than 9.5 inches from the end of the housing/PCB to the exterior face of the bracket. Power-in from the top of the card. It's shorter than the HD 7870 DD I bought back in June, but the housing on the 7950 DD does not 'wrap-around' the back of the card.

Four copper heat-pipes -- looks to be a solid-copper base. The housing is all aluminum. I was worried they might have gone plastic on us to save a few bucks. I didn't have any issues with the rebate on the 7870 -arrived as promised- and the registration for the lifetime warranty was a breeze. Hopefully, my good luck with XFX will roll on ...

My biggest worry right now is what to cash-in on the bundle :lol: or to hold out in hopes of a few sweet...

The card is exactly 9 5/16-inches from the end of the housing to the exterior face of the bracket ... 9 3/8ths (or 9.375 inches) gives you 1/16-inch to spare :)

Remember that the DVI connects extend past the exterior face of the bracket, but they are at the bottom -- not at the top of the bracket. That makes it much more simple to ease that bad-boy in ...

Also ... it's a 1x6-pin / 1x8-pin card -- don't forget an adapter if you need one!

Wow I've never heard of a 7950 that is shorter than 10"

Once I open the package, I can't return it anymore. Are you 100% sure it's 9 5/16 inches long? Also do the 6 and 8 pin connectors lengthen the card or do they plug in from the top side?

Thanks so much! I would have RMA'd this card if not for you.

I'm probably going to sell my bundle since I don't play any of those games. Not sure how much to sell it for though haha. How fast did your rebate on the 7870 come?
