About this Item:
STURDY STEEL BRACKET: The thick steel bracket holds even heavy graphics cards vertically and prevents them from sagging.
PCIE 4.0 RISER CABLE: Utilizing PCIe 4.0, the Riser Cable facilitates the high-speed bi-directional transfer of data from the video card to the motherboard, and vice versa for better performance.
NZXT COMPATIBILITY: The Bracket and Riser Cable fit perfectly into NZXT H7 Series cases, allowing enough clearance for air and AIO cooling systems, and the ability to replace the standard horizontal mounting bracket.

PCIe is very fast. Will using any kind of adapter impact performance?
A few YouTube channels have done testing with many long extender cables and they have absolutely no performance impact until you get ridiculously long. Also even high end GPUs don't saturate a 16x PCIe 4.0 link.
You are correct, done this before with my old 1080 and it is instantly 5-15 degrees higher depending on usage.
But it's up to you if it's worth the look.
Heat impact would depend on if the card is a blower style or not plus the case set up. It's not just for looks.
Blower fan has the same orientation, so it will choke too if facing glass; case set up is fair point. However since this is NZXT specific mounting kit, I assume we are talking about H700/500/200 series which don't have great reputation for good case air flow design to begin with (except the latest air flow variation).
I'm not vertical mount hater at all - the problem is vast majority of the ATX towers that offer vertical mount option only leave you with 3 slot for width consideration, that leaves you with less than 1 slot for air and 0.5 or less for most RTX30 cards.
We need case designs that actually take advantage of the horizontal dead space behind the vertical mounted card.

Fair points. Orientation is the same, but where the air is outputted is not. I had a Vega 64 (horrible cooling) open air that would blast the motherboard and case glass that I could cook an egg on it. Vertical mount spared my board and helped kick the heat up and out. The lianli I had allowed air flow from the front and the bottom. Special use case but it helped in my case.
