if they used a backplate the card would be larger, and there'd be no room for air intake in SLI.

Could be floors but there is no skirting board in that picture. So there is no difference in the cards? Just re badged?

Foam can be removed/replaced easier and it probably was in the product bin at the time.

..and foam is cheap. These cards are already priced sort of high, no need to add anything fancy to drive the prices up more. Today I saw a few retailers jack up their prices. Buy one now before prices go up further, if you can find one... If you even want to bother.

![]() It happened to me a couple of times on the laptop, I'd update the drivers then go straight to benchmark or game, and start thinking that my cards are on the good road to become obsolete. Then I'd have a fffuuu moment when I remember that the driver had disabled my SLI and I was running on one card

So, when does your home version "nuke power plant" show up to power it? W1zz will soon be adding to the global warming problem. Bad W1zz. Killing kittens and puppies to run his new fermi.
