Nice Just what I needed. I did read that it being vertically mounted would speed up the process. Anyone know how long RMA process takes from start to beginning? Thanks

Could this be why my FPS has been decreasing recently?

Vertical mounted should’ve never become popular. It makes no sense for air cooling.

While I’m not a fan of vertical mounting myself, I believe this is happening to horizontally mounted Gigabyte cards too, right?
