I suspect there should be many more baloons for that to actually work properly.

FYI - DO NOT buy vertical cases like that unless you plan to watercool your videocard. Heatpipes and vapor chambers work really really poorly in vertical orientation. I have SilverStone FT05 case which was a cool case with a cool concept, but it is just not practical when it comes to cooling. For one, all AM4/5 chips have CCDs are physically located on the bottom of the package in a traditional motherboard orientation, if you flip motherboard 90 degrees you may have potential pressure issues with one of the CCDs with big tower coolers. But most importantly, as implied, heatpipes and vapor chambers don't work in vertical orientation. I've got Sapphire Pulse 6800. In normal vertical orientation in FT05 my GPU fans would spin at 3000 RPMs with hotspot hitting 100 degrees C, flipping FT05 case on the back so that the motherboard and GPU are traditionally oriented resulted in 20 degree lower hotspot temp at around 80C and fan speed of just 1500RPMs.https://www.serverparts4less.com/616077-001-hp-nvidia-quadro-5000-pci-e-2-5gb-gddr5-graphics-card/ Do note the metal plate on the front end that slides to rails that (at least HP workstation) case might have.
Silverstone had cases, like Raven, that had insides tilted 90 degrees: https://bit-tech.net/reviews/tech/cases/silverstone-raven-rv02-review/1/ Sag that.
(Then again, the heatpipe designers may not have expected that orientation.)
So after building (liquid) nitrogen fuelled PCs, people will now build helium fulled PCs.

I already posted my first hand experience. I have Silverstone FT05 and Sapphire Pulse 6800 card (200-210W TDP). In default case orientation I hit 100C hotspot and GPU fan speed of 3000 RPM. I actually have the case flipped right now on it's "back" so that the videocard is parallel to the ground, and I get 80C hotspot with fans staying in 1500-1600RPM range. It's a bit janky to run a case like that, but the temperature/noise difference is just too much to ignore. FT05 was a cool fun case, but it's just not practical. I'm hoping Fractal updates Define 8 series soon so that I can get a more traditional layout.That would be an interesting test if you have an open air test bench. Run Furmark until you reach steady state, then rotate 90°. I wouldn't expect to see a huge difference.
I ended up buying the EZDIY-FAB one. Is it ok to have the rubber pad of the support make contact with the heatsink fins of the GPU? Will the rubber pad melt on this GPU support if I do it this way? Is it better to place this device under the edge of the video card even if the fins of the heatsink or lower than the edge of the video card, meaning only the sharp edge is the only surface area that it would be resting on by doing it this way? What I'm basically asking is if heat transferred from the GPU to the heatsink can melt rubber if it's in contact with the heatsink?2.5 cm to 13.9 cm: https://www.amazon.com/Bracket-Magnetic-Graphics-Support-Adjustment/dp/B0BK3S72SN/

Large magnetic base and you can secure the GPU snugly from above and below.
In the pictures, the bracket isn't touching any heatsink fins so better to not do that. Just put it in contact with the edge of the graphics card shroud.What I'm basically asking is if heat transferred from the GPU to the heatsink can melt rubber if it's in contact with the heatsink?
When you have friends over, you can compress the He, in those ballons, and make it into Liquid He2, then bench your PC with it.My easy sag fix.
Here comes the 3000 series to help the trend, only this time it appears Gigabyte deserves more attention:
