Looking at TechPowerUp's database, the reference RTX 2080 is 267mm/10.5" long and 116mm/4.6" wide, plus dual slot compared to the three slots of that card. Given the pictures, I'd say it's a 12" long card, which can be a problem for some smaller cases. The width shouldn't as CPU coolers are talle than that.

One thing, tho, is that I find it odd that there are no marks on the card. No Nvidia nor 3090 logo on it anywhere but the sides, which we can't see. Now I'm not saying it's fake but. like the cooler itself, it's a change from the usual Nvidia.

After a rough ruler measuring, I got to 330mm/12.10", which will be much more problematic for many cases, especially if there is a drive cage behind that you'd need for some SATA drives or in a small cases even space for an optical drive or card reader.

And that's the reference GPU. Some third party models will be even bigger than that.

It's good to see Intel jumping on the chiplet wagon. We'll see how their implementation works compared to the one from AMD.
