If Gigabyte and Zotac can make 1070 card at half the size?

What's the point in the bigger cards?

heat/noise

But that would just need a bigger HSF not double the PCB

where you going to put that bigger HSF? have it floating of the end of the PCB causing it to bend?

You might want to look at some of the Fury cards using the reference PCB!!

true but their not doubling the HSF, more like a 1/3 at best

also you can only go longer or taller. both increasing size? so it wont be mini anyway even if their was no PCB

Range of choice and optional cooling. That's why.

Also the smaller they are the worse power phases/VRM's thisis why I chose the FTW, bad choice in hindsight though I guess
