Not sure that is a good idea. I think that would be challenging, if you are going to vertically mount your GPU. It'll have a similar issue that plagues vertical standing PS5s.

Some of that is due to the design of the cooler as well. If Nvidia has designed a cooler to retain the liquid metal correctly when vertical then it should be find and with all the engineering work they put into the 50 series FE cards it would be a huge miss not to design it that way.

I thought that was determined to be a manufacturing issue rather than the liquid metal leaking during use. Was that not the case?

I am curious what kind of issues will these new cards have soon after release.

Shouldn't Tom's have an editor? (Should be "rein in".)
