I think my next case is going to be mini itx, and i'm currently thinking about upgrading my videocard and I want one that will run well in a mini itx case. Beside avoiding excessively large ones, i have heard you want rear exhaust. Is rear exhaust really important? And are there better options for a rear exhaust card than the founders edition?

Well you can skip it and just get a case that have slots for good case exhaust fans.

If your case has ventilation where the fans exhaust, you can get away with a non ref card. If there is no path for air flow, get reference style if it's cramped.

depends if the sidepanel has ventilation or not and how big the case is

I spent $2500 on building my PC and all i do with it is play no games atm & watch anime at 1080p(finally) watch YT and write essays...  nothing, it just sits there collecting dust...

Builds:

The Toaster Project! Northern Bee!

 

The original LAN PC build log! (Old, dead and replaced by The Toaster Project & 5.0)

"Here is some advice that might have gotten lost somewhere along the way in your life. 

 

#1. Treat others as you would like to be treated.

#2. It's best to keep your mouth shut; and appear to be stupid, rather than open it and remove all doubt.

#3. There is nothing "wrong" with being wrong. Learning from a mistake can be more valuable than not making one in the first place.
