It's not a big deal, but it seems odd that the main LED effect points pretty much downward, unless the GPU is vertically mounted. Is this the way the majority are expected to be mounting their cards?

    If you look there and scroll to the bottom, you will see there's quite a bit on top of the card too.  So even normally mounted you can see at least half of the LED plate.  
     
    Edit : The backplate also has a little bit of effects.

    You're right, I hadn't scrolled that far, it looks a bit better after all, thanks for pointing that out. It immediately makes it look one of the better designs now!

    Unfortunately, EVGA's LED control software is lackluster at best. My main rig is iCUE controlled and I have white and purple rain drop effects over the fans, led strips and Asus motherboard that look fantastic but the EVGA 2080 HC has to remain static purple due to lack of options. My secondary rig is mainly run via Aura Sync which controls the motherboard, fans, led strips, memory (Corsair provides plugin). Colors are teal base with white starlight effects. I was able to match the effect with iCUE for the 115i AIO but the EVGA 1080 Ti has to be static white because their software is so rudimentary
