Will my mobo fit the ASUS 580 matrix?

[ThomasJazz]

This is my mother board: http://www.gigabyte.com/products/product-page.aspx?pid=3754#ov
I am currently running GTX 560's in SLI mode and I want to know if I will be able to fit this enormous GTX 580 matrix into my computer. I have been reading about my mobo and it says it has 3 PCI slots... so will it fit? Thanks.

why do you want to "downgrade" your GFX????
560 sli will beat gtx 580

go with 580 only if you want to sli soon enough other wise 560 sli will serve you good...

It will fit. Isn't it the casing you're worried of?
The GTX580 matrix link takes me to the GA-870A-USB3 itself.

I know for a fact that 1 GTX 580 matrix is better than 2 GTX 560s. It benchmarks higher and one $500 card is better than 2, $250 cards. This is not a normal GTX 580, it has better specs and actually benchmarks higher than a GTX 590

Oh and my case is:
7.75 in width
17 in length
16.5 in height

Bump, added the case dimensions

a 580 that benches higher than a 590? wow, that must be a unicorn of a card.....
it isnt the dimensions of your outer case, open the thing up and grab a ruler. if you can find 12 inches of space from the back to front where you want the card to be .... well there you go !
