Will the ATI 5850 fit in my case?

My case is the Thermaltake Soprano.

The dimensions of it are located on the page at the bottom.

Thanks in advance.

I couldn't see on that page the dimensions of your case back to the drive bay, only the overal case size.

Could you measure it for us?

The 5850 is 24cm / 9.5" inch long. If you have more room than that you're good.

The 5850 is not 11" long! The 5870 is. The 5850 is 9.5" long.

Source?

I couldn't find one, I only found others comments on another forum claiming the dimensions.

Ah yes I've seen the correction on the forum now. Sorry my mistake.

You'll need more than 9.5" / 24cm between the back of your case and your drive bay to place the card Thanks for correcting me Ethan!

Here's a source for you- with a Pic of the 5850 and 5870 side by side

The very first thing you will notice is that the ATI Radeon HD 5850 is thankfully shorter than the Radeon HD 5870. It is still double-slot, but it shouldn’t cause case clearance issues as it just came to the edge of our full size ATX motherboard. Length measures in at 9.5 inches right to the red "vents" sticking out. Length on the Radeon HD 5870 came to 10.75", so it is a big improvement in that area.
