This is actually the most shortest RX 9070 XT currently available, at "only" 288mm (11.3 in) long, and one of the narrowest, coming in at 2.8 slots wide. Gigabyte also does not state the weight of the card on their spec sheet, but I have seen it listed at 2.78 lb or 1261g at other retailers. This is light enough that Gigabyte doesn't include a stand. And IMO, it doesn't need one. Compare this to the biggest card, the XFX Mercury, at 5.18 lb or 2350g -- the Gigabyte Gaming OC is nearly half the card.So you might think that its thermal performance would be underwhelming. Yet it runs cool and quiet despite pulling 330W under load, and they even somehow managed to cram a vapor chamber into the design. It's also backed by a three-year warranty in case you have concerns about endurance.
