Graphics cards are actually divided into these sizes, so don’t buy the wrong one.

First: Standard Card

Standard cards are generally about 28 centimeters. Generally, public version cards are the size of standard cards, which is the most common size of graphics cards on the market.

Second: short card

As the name suggests, the short card is much shorter than the standard card. Some users' cases are not that big and the standard card cannot fit in it. At this time, we have to use the short card. The short card is usually marked as mini or namo, also called ITX graphics card. It is usually about 10 to 20 centimeters. The shortcomings of the short card are also obvious. It cannot stack materials, so the performance is greatly reduced, but the price is not much cheaper.

Third: Knife Card

Blade cards are smaller than short cards, and the PCB height is generally half that of ordinary cards. They used to be customized for brand-name machines, but later many small-chassis DIYs became popular with this kind of graphics card, not to mention its performance.

Fourth: Thin Card

Nowadays, there are more PCI-E interfaces, and some manufacturers have also introduced ultra-thin cards. This card generally only occupies 2 to 3 PCI-E slots. However, the heat dissipation of this graphics card is generally very poor, but it is understandable. Therefore, if you want small size, high performance, and low power consumption, it is really difficult to achieve them all.

Nowadays, graphics cards generally come in several sizes. When choosing a graphics card, you must pay more attention to these aspects. Don't buy a graphics card whose size does not match your computer, which will be very troublesome.
