Question Thermaltake View 71 Vertical GPU

[Morne19]

Hello there guys. I am looking to mount my GPU vertically in my Thermaltake view 71 TG case but I am not sure if I should or not and would appreciate all of your opinions. I have the Asus GTX strix 1080 Ti oc edition, I love the aesthetics of a vertically mounted GPU and it would look amazing in my case, but I am not willing to put aesthetics over performance as performance will always aoutweigh aesthetics for me.

If the system is to serve as a showcase rig, then yeah, go for it. If it's for everyday computing, I'd say no, unless ofc you're looking to watercool the GPU/rig. The issue I have with vertical mounted GPU's is that they are placed close to the side panel, so for air cooled GPU's that starves a good amount of air to and from them.
