I'm pretty sure my card is the ATI Radeon 4870. I just bought it off eBay and can't find any writing on the card, but it's likely the 4870 if I remember. It has 2 DVI vertical from each other and an HDMI and some third digital port (see pictures).
I have the HAF 932 case by CoolerMaster and have been trying to fit this darn long GPU in the PCI slot.
My motherboard is a Gigabyte GA-970A-UD3.

You can see it the pictures below that I removed a plastic piece which obstructs ability to initially get in there.









Thanks and I can give any additional info if needed. I really hope this huge case can fit this huge card.

Its either you return the GPU or use a dremel and saw through the top HDD cage or you install a different cooler.

Ok, I'll probably choose one of the latter 2. I suppose I can modify my case, though I somewhat want to keep its condition in case of resale.
A different cooler? Where is my cooler, because I think my case just has tons of fans?

Couldn't you remove the "handle". It looks totally unnecessary. I could be wrong but I think you can remove the entire plastic shielding then cut it safely with hacksaw, then replace the shielding. I merely thought this because it looks used anyway. If it is used, you could clean it as well while it is apart.

Yeah. So, I still don't quite understand "install a different cooler", but as far as it goes otherwise until I understand, it's either the case or the GPU which gets a makeover.
Not sure which I'll pick, as they both cost me similar. I suppose 'crookedmouth' has a point regarding the GPU. I mean, if it won't fit in my HAF932 it'll be a pain anytime later. So, 'crookedmouth' and 'nuclear101', you win a tie for answering. I'm clicking 'crookedmouth' for my choice formally.
