RT hardware has been available for about 7yrs since the 20 series came out, if anyone is still running 7+ year old PC hardware then it's way overdue for an upgrade by now. PC's have had it for 7 years, consoles though much slower have had the ability to run it for a few years and even top end phones can now do hardware accelerated RT, even the Steam Deck can even if it's very slow at it. There is no reason why anyone should be complaining that their hardware is incapable of even running some form of RT in 2025.

No what people should be complaining about is 7 years into the tech the top $2000 card is only capable of 25-28fps with RT in a 4 year old game.

It's not integrated into the heatsink because if it was there would be no heatsink left in the area occupied by the fan.

Asus managed it with their astral card, as i said it looks like last minute addition, otherwise they could have designed it to have it integrated into the shroud.
 
I think someone mentioned that it was to not reduce the amount of heatsink and will be an additional option if people wanted or needed to add an additional fan on the back. May have been Hardware Unboxed. At least it's not using zip ties :D
