PCI Bracket Size

New GPUs extend FAR beyond the HEIGHT of the PCI bracket.

 

This is a problem for some cases, but information on the height of the card isn't available - there's no way to ensure compatibility.

 

There's currently PCI, and Low-Profile PCI, but should there be a larger standard too... that would allow better GPU cooling, and you would know if your card and case conformed to that standard.

 

Discuss :)

How is this even an issue?

You're talking about the non-reference cards which have a custom PCB like the GTX 780 Classified, GTX 780 Lightning, etc? I think if you're buying those cards, you should have a badass case to put it in.

I like the color scheme of Noctua fans. Deal with it. Forget about the bad memories of the past.

Forget about the bad memories of the past, take the good ones along with you through the present, and look forwards to the good things that will come in the future.

Exactly, don't put quad titans in one of these:
