There are long and short graphics card (seems like the high-end are longer), but is there a difference between a long and a short graphics card?
 

The difference is the cooler and the pcb.A high end graphics processing unit gets heated faster and so needs to be cooled accordingly.The pcb has has the shaders which are the multiprocessing units of graphics cards.

Okay, thanks! I have a huge case so I'll go with a long card.
