Makes sense when you saw the Gainward GPU cooler. We could see the GPU power sockets midway on the card and the third fan just blowing on the cooling fins with no PCB behind it.

Kinda confirms what I thought, that these cards are not as big as people were expecting. However, perhaps they are taking a new direction making cards shorter but thicker. Maybe to increase sales towards ITX users and the like.

I guess these will look really small with a waterblock. And perhaps water cooling will be very interesting when the VRAM is so close to the GPU die.

90% of the people do not need ATX boards. ITX is on pair with big brothers in performance. ITX is getting more popular in recent times.

Theese cards will fit in ITX systems only with water block. Coolers will be even bigger than on 2xxx.


Also, waterblocks have so efficiwnt transfer of heat that they won't care much about tightly packed components.

GPU blocks will likely be padded out dude. And then a back plate fitted to make it look bigger. There may well be some smaller ones IDK.

It is very tall. Indeed, easily as tall as any card I've seen.

Edit. By padded out I mean made longer on the plastic parts to make it look bigger.

Not all of them do that. EK for example gave two variants. Standard and Full. Full having the excess unnecessary acrylic. But there is no point padding out something that isnt there. If the PCB stops short. No point extending a block further. Its acceptable had there been a long empty PCB as you have something to attach to.
