ASRock Launches the Radeon RX 5700 XT Taichi X Graphics Card

I have seen this from many other brands with long gpu's. Is there a specific reason why they don't make the backplate match the length of the gpu? It looks bad with radiators sticking out naked. Edit: my bad I thought I was in sapphire nitro+ page.this product has the backplate to match the length of the gpu.
Better cooling when airflow is not blocked off by backplate.

A backplate is nice when it functions as a heatsink, iirc my card is like that.

Didn't testing show backplates have really no effect on temps and that they were just simply better than nothing, didn't hurt/help.
