problem there is getting the entire industry on board, you inevitably run into the "now we have 1 more standard"-problem, cause the people running the standardized motherboard/case factories arent changing their setup unless there's sufficient demand
which means stuff like this is relegated to the boutique luxury market, no economy of scale to drive price down.
my understanding far as PC case/airflow/gpu size is concerned, is that the gpu's are large because of the attached cooler, it being large messes up the internal airflow dynamics of the cases/fans, which themselves were never meant to facilitate such large gpus. then you have stuff like weight of the gpu itself bending the pci slots cause those werent designed for these sizes either.
best answer imo is to just have the gpu's setting vertically, air-outflow on the top of the case, intakes bottom/sides. this distributes the weight better and opens up airflow. thermaltake has a series like this called the tower which i'v been meaning to get my hands on
True, but, this is one way where the near monopolies in the PC space are an advantage. If Nvidia makes the change on their own, all the motherboard companies would have to follow suit. If Nvidia worked with AMD it would effectively be a standard already.
Nvidia might want to do it as it stands because their main market these days is data center "GPUs" which are nothing like the gaming cards, so if they could make their gaming cards look more like the datacenter "GPUs", they could possibly save some design time.
