Expensive Cards are meant to be put vertically and to be shown off.

Vertical so close to the glass panel will have a serious impact on cooling performance. The fans simply don’t have enough section to pull air in.

Vertical looks way better. Should be fine as long as you have 2-3 cm. A Strix can handle it just fine.

Personally I like horizontal because the Republic of Gamers logo is showing.

Flip it every month. Then you can enjoy both ROG and EVA-2 logos.
Jelly of your nice hardware!

Vertical will always get worse airflow for cooling

horizontal looks much more clean

It depends on how much breathing room your card has. Either way it’s more a preference. If it is horizontal heavy cards need support, which is why the vertical concept was invented.

for me, horizontal.

Icl I prefer horizontal in this case because the card is so chunky and you can see more RGB of the fans too

Horizontal for better cooling.

It’s a little too hard to tell. Just send me the pc so I can examine in person to give you the best position.
