Sparkle Readies Single-Slot GeForce GTX 570 Graphics Card
Sparkle computer's CeBIT bit booth featured an eye-catching new graphics card, the Sparkle One GTX 570. This is the first air-cooled single-slot GeForce GTX 570 series graphics card. While it is thin, the card is extremely long. We estimate around 13-inches long, if not more. Sparkle seems to be making use of the extra length to squeeze in as much metal (heatsink) as possible. A fan pushes air backwards. The card features clock speeds of 752/1504/4000 MHz (core/shader/memory).
Like every other GTX 570, it's based on the 40 nm GF110 GPU with 480 CUDA cores enabled, and 1280 MB of GDDR5 memory across a 320-bit wide memory interface. Display outputs include one each of DVI, HDMI, and DisplayPort. Sparkle expects the card to be released by next month.

Although to be completely honest I had a bit of a brain fart. >.<
Not only is it paper thin, but it also features a mild 20MHz OC over the reference design. Sparkle, you dawgs :D
How long is it exactly? Looks over 30cm :D
why they make such a useless product, what is the potential buyer? I mean - if u have small space in case then this hot card wich now cant blow hot air out will cook everything inside your small case. if u have lota thing in nerar slots - then maybe it is better to take them out and melt them with your zipo or hairdryer not with this GTX 570 (hot) side blower. and by the why how will this blow through contact that mini GPU heat sink - I mean this is no GTS 450! what next single slot GTX 590 with blow through hole between bouth GPU cores?
:(
Longer is better than higher card in my book. I have 5-6 PCI(andPCIE) slots and have already used those that are actually accesible: 2 of them :(
Nobody did LMAO with the "for those that Fold" answer? hahahaha That was subtle irony!!!
Fold: like when you fold a pair of (long) trousers to store them.... Cool!
