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.

Whats it to you? If people like visually pleasing looking PC hardware let them.

And that is more important than how it performs? Substance beats style any day of the year.

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.
