Hey everyone,
I want to buy the new 270x, but the sizes are different from site to site...

The site that I want to buy from says :
228(L)X109(W)X35(H) mm Size.
Sapphire Radeon R9 270X DUAL-X BOOST OC 2GB GDDR5 2xDVI HDMI DP PCI-E

But other sites says 24.13 cm - 241mm - 9.5"...

So, anyone has idea what is the exact length?

Thanks for helping.

There's only 1.4cm difference between those two lengths. What's most likely going on is the longer measurement is the entire card (including the rear metal bracket that will show from the back of your computer), while the shorter one only measures how much room in your case it will take up.

If you're really cutting things that fine in your case, you could always ring the store you plan to buy from and get someone to confirm the length. If you're still worried, just take a screenshot of the site you plan to buy it from, and if it doesn't fit in your case because of incorrect specifications you should be able to return it without issue.
