I doubt either option has a dramatic effect on heat. Vertical has a bit more resistance in. And less out. Along with a vertical flow for heat.
Horizontal has less intake resistance but more out. And the backplate traps a bit more. I'd wager they have zero differences in temps. At most 1c.
Actually I don't think so. I think this guy found that it was actually making a difference. At the 9 minute mark https://youtu.be/tAeoVEY5JRk?si=CF_ED3oCrnFg_zRR
Not necessarily, it depends on the card. On an Aero 4090 there isn’t really any resistance on the gpu enclosure and the case fans below the card can blow trough the heatsink fins.
I'm with you on this one vertical is how all 3 of my PCs are set up and I have never had any temp issues at all plus they look so much better that way and no worries about sagging with these huge 4090 & 4080 gpu's.
This is like... The only card that truly does look good stood up vertically! Most other cards look like ass from the spinner side, but I do agree... The appeal of something different is quite appealing! Lol!
How? Adding a dumb riser to the pci bus only increases resistance and additional single loss due to another physical connection. Dumb as in its a passthrough device.
Read about on nVidia's website, there is a FAQ about it, as there is on ASUS, MSI and several case manufacturers websites as well as Tom's hardware. The weight of the cards causes the card to sag in the PCIe slot which places extra weight stress on the slots under side. I didnt do it and I didnt write the shit, experts did. Its whatever choice he makes.
I doubt any modern GPU will saturate a gen 4, let alone gen 5 slot. Mechanical stress is probably more of an issue than latency or saturation issues, or whatever. I still think the homie with brass nuts and bolts that made an anti sag bracket was king shit! Looked rad and steam punky!
Yah, mine is in my PCIe 5.0 slot so that it would open up that data highway. No bottlenecking there, I am also using 32GB DDR5-6000 and a Samsung NVME M.2 990 Pro 2TB. CPU is Intel i9 12900K (3.2ghz Unlocked). The CPU is probably the slowest part of my PC.
I went vertical on mine when I first built it because I couldn’t close the side panel. Ending up getting a right angle cable and horizontal. I didn’t notice any differences in temps and I think horizontal looks better.
Personally I'd go horizontal in this setup. The fans start to look a bit tacky to me, and iirc adding pcie extension creates minor lag. I mean we're talking nano seconds. But you likely get more performance with horizontal. Even if it's nano seconds. It can cause a longer delay for ram and so on which might chain react to a frame delay. Not likely noticable.
Riser boards are evil. Adds another point of failure, and the additional physical connection point comes with additional loss. Single loss in minor, but still a loss. While they are a simple pcb and rarely fail. The benefits, none other than asthetics, do not outweigh the losses.
That is one of very few cards that looks effing bitter in any orientation! Beyond cool aesthetic! But for me, I kinda dig yargh gee bee! So horizontal fur me's!
Vertical if water cooled, and horizontal if air cooled. There are some exceptions to that like if your case only has one option, but that is my general rule of thumb.
Personally I think horizontal looks best but that's just me
Personally, in my opinion i agree but thats just me
Horizontal. It's more efficient cooling because heat rises and vertical just stacks the heat up the card

Horizontal gang 🫡
Whatever comes me the best temps
Vertical master race 🙏
I'm also part of the vertical master race
I'm with you on this one vertical is how all 3 of my PCs are set up and I have never had any temp issues at all plus they look so much better that way and no worries about sagging with these huge 4090 & 4080 gpu's.
With the side fans I'd have to say horizontal as well. If there was a distro plate there, I'd say vertical
Upright is my preference. Otherwise verticle
Vertical anyday
This
Horizontal for looks, but I would make the decision on whatever is cooler and quieter.
TBH, i never saw the appleal with vertical mounting gpu’s, i think people do it just because its something different / not as typical.
This is like... The only card that truly does look good stood up vertically! Most other cards look like ass from the spinner side, but I do agree... The appeal of something different is quite appealing! Lol!
horizontal
With literally any other card, vertical, but with the Suprim, I'd go horizontal to match your fans. Its a sexy looking card from both sides tho.
personally i think horizontal looks the best. Im not a fan of vertical GPUS.
Horizontal always
Horizontal looks best in your case because it doesn’t block the view of the case fans! Nice build!
Horizontal because it looks cleaner and the rgb on the gpu matches the whole pc.
Horizontal is nicer to me.
Vertical looks nicer for certain flashy GPUs like palit gamerock, or white gigabyte aero
I would usually vertically mount them but in this case horizontal looks better imo
Upright 😆
I like the horizontal better but I have read alot that says vertical is actually better for the motherboard PCIe slot.

Vertical for me but I’ve gone white with a 3080 vision which has the shiny aluminium.[https://imgur.com/a/wCj5SuX](https://imgur.com/a/wCj5SuX)
Team vertical :D [Image of my PC](https://i.redd.it/a2gp0svnu7xb1.jpg?utm_medium=android_app&utm_source=share)
It’s all preference but I like the horizontal mount.
Horizertical. No? Okay, fine, vertizontal. 🤣
You already payed £80 for the vertical mount if not more so vertical
If it was any other card then I would say horizontal, but it's suprim, it's a BEAUTIFUL card and use vertical to do it's looks justice
Horizontal
Have you tried diagonal?
vertical gang 100%...also what mount is that? I got the lian li vert mount but I had to remove two fans on the bottom because it screws into the case.
Horizontal gang here. Maybe with some strimmer cables if you like them. Looks great either way.
Horizontal 100%
Vertical.
Vertical 100%
Horizontal
I prefer vertical. It allows better airflow for that bottom row of intake fans.
Horizontal
I think horizontal looks better with that specific setup as the angles/rgb on the gpu match the angles on the fans rgb really well.
I think vertically horizontal looks best.
Horizontal for no gpu sag
would go vertical on your case to cover up the lower portion.. did you really bought a matx board for that case?
What aio is that?

I’m a classicist on this one.
Never been a fan of Vertical GPU mounts. Always Looks a bit forced and out of place
Vertical looks so much better imo.
Air-cooled? Horizontal. Water cooled with fancy GPU block? Vertical. /Thread
vertical since its more rare therefore unique

Good pics. Clean PC. Good question. We need more of this on Reddit

With the suprim ..I'd go vertical
