Is a gpu riser worth it to show off a single fan graphics card?

[arodriguez]

Hi, I have a xfx rx 560 graphics card and I just got the nzxt 500i and it supports vertical Gpus and I hate looking at the top of my card because it has no backplate. So my question is will it be worth it to get the riser for my card so it can look better and not look at the boring top? It's a single fan card.

Up to you but many vertical cards will run hotter due to being close to the case side.

Unless it happens to position the fans right next to vent holes. That, theoretically, could make cooling better than otherwise.
