Benchmark Scores bench...mark? i do leave mark on bench sometime, to remember which one is the most comfortable. :o
these 4 slots design seen for th 40XX line all over does not bode well, dunno why, but if it need such a beefy cooler solution ... it can't be good, unless they have a humongous OC over the reference design

3 slot is a max for custom imho (unless special lines like ARES or Matrix or ... oh wait EVGA is out of the game ... :cry: )

My guess is that NVIDIA and their AIB partners all tested a variety of cooler solutions of various sizes and thicknesses in their labs before settling on the final part.

Thus, there are probably prototype cards with 3-slot, 3.5 slot, 4 slot and 4.5 slot coolers. In fact, their recycle bin is probably full of 3-slot, 3.5-slot and 5-slot coolers.
