They are really professional when it comes to gpu backplates

It's not that hard to make. I bought some acrylic and made a design in illutstrator and used the laser cutter in my university to make a decent plate.

I think I will pick your other solution because v1 tech is to expensive. How much does it costs a pice of acrylic for backplate?

I think I will get a bigger peace for a little cheaper but how can I model it with what and how will that cost?

Carefully measure your GPU, taking into account

1. possible screw holes

2. Connector and SLI areas

3. Clearing for other components in your case

Draw the design in Adobe illustrator following guides online like this one

https://onlinelasercutting.com.au/file-setup/

Other software works as well but I learned Adobe illustrator only...

I use eps for laser cutting and t-shirt printing etc. 

and laser cut that thing.

My gpu has extra holes for mounting back plates although it didn't come with one.

Just a screw and nut will do the trick

If there isn't you can use hot glue or just lay it on there try to get creative since you dont have other choice
