We noticed some microstuttering with this engine, which lowered the minimum frame rate a little, still top position in the chart with an average of 86 frames per second.

  4. looks cool and is a giant dust trap! lol closed circuit liquid cooling like some amd cards have done would be much better imo

  5. While i want to agree, it will make it harder to fit. Especially if you go for an SLI setup.
    They would likely have a fan on there regardless so they can cool the other components such as memory and VRMs. Plus if you have filters on your case, dust shouldn’t be too much of an issue if you set it up properly.
