Why can't ATI and Nvidia give dimensions for their products!

A middle-school level tech spec writing class would require dimensions as a bare minimum. It's found nowhere in any data sheets for any products.

It's not like this is top secret info. It's useful only for people wondering whether it fits in their case. In my mind it's indicative of the mindset of these companies - they tell you want they want to say, not what you need to know.

The rule for GPU's seems to be "baffle 'em with bullshit if you can't dazzle 'em with your brilliance."

Muhammad: What you mainly pay for is the after sales service and driver support. These cards are not retail products, and while you can softmod most of the regular cards to accept the same commands, customer service will laugh at you if you call them with your 4860 and want support for CAD.

Specialized Cards people .. really !?!
look here..

people used to hack firegl drivers and run CAD and "Specialized" software on conventional card.

^^ Yep. In large part, you're paying for rock solid and optimised drivers and after sales support.

These are NOT your standard graphics cards like the hd4870/GTX290. These are "Specalized" cards for programs like CAD and drafting and 3d rendering. They always cost more than standard video cards because they don't work like our normal cards do. Educate yourself please, before you make outlandish statements about prices.

Is the gpu on this card a 3870? If so: LOL @ 900$

You haven't bought a card like that in the last five years have you?

... Thought not.

900 for a graphic card... heck no.. maybe when hell freezes over.
However if the Nvidia CX was for 900 i would consider it. Same for tesla. But for any ati card.. NAH!!!
