Why no thicc graphics cards on here to display the mount properly???? :confused:

Holy crap, that will hold it alright! Could they please invent a new version with even more worthless metal around it? Nice for your airflow, too.

Cosmetic improvements, a whole new exercise in futility. Oh nice, you can see the fan of my graphics card.... and a massive hunk of extra metal to show it. Look at the fan, it actually works! zomg111!One

Vertical is more like for ppl like my brother, he has a Gigabyte Xtreme GTX 970 mounted vertically and that card has a led ring around the fans facing the glass panel and hes not willing to upgrade to any card that doesn't look like that or better.:laugh:
Tbh some card designs look like as if they were meant to be vertically mounted. 'Gigabyte has multiple cards like that'
I asked him if he would be interested in buying my EVGA FTW 3 GTX 1070 and he was like nope that doesn't look that good vertically and I was like what this thing has leds all over the place.:confused: 'Personally I prefer the side look of the card anyway'

Probably a niche use case but that does exist, even tho he knows that hes getting much worse temps in his specific case 'lian li lancool 1' but he doesn't care cause its all about the looks for him.

I think hes using some cheapo vertical mount kit from Aliexpress, it works I guess.
