I regret the absence of a "flat back" on a high-end product (my MSI R9 290 GAMING had one). Good but I also knew anyway. Think configs to which all PCIe slots are occupied. Placing such a card just below a large cooler gives a cold sweat.
As usual, very poor at MSI bundle, not even a sticker to stick on the windshield of a ^^ colleague.
I just chose the brand MSI GTX 980 because for me this is one of the few brands to communicate the exact thickness of their card.
There are others, but the others were too thick for my config. A EVGA GTX 980 SC may have worked too but making head after an exchange of email (2 weeks waiting for nothing, thank you ok bye).
I also regret buying this card on Amazon deprives me of a game offered by nVidia action "Play card"! Not that their games interest me but I could sell it. It does not deserve a return but the idea touched my mind.
End on something positive: the graphics hottie least I knew and so I'll take a lot of pleasure to overclock.
