How much of a difference in cooling performance would it make if the left out the DVI port and gave the card more breathing space?

some of us still on the qnix monitors that do not have 500-700 to spend on a 144hz monitor still need DVI and i need a minimum of 27inch 1440p

I am sorry for spoiling all the fun, but you are quite mistaken on blower fans being that much restricted by small vents.
Don't judge blower fan the same as the standard axial fan. The latter depends on open vents because it is relatively "low pressure", whereas the former is a "high pressure" fan.
You can think of (just for the same of argument) about a compressor or a turbocharger on a car's engine. They rely on blower (centrifugal) fans, and you can guess require quite small air lines and vents.
So enlarging vents on blower-fan video card (or removing the grill altogether) will not result in any increase of performance. May be (just may be) it will allow to shave off 2-3dbs of sound, but that's it.

I love it when people say nobody uses DVI anymore just because they don't... As has been pointed out though, having a bigger vent won't give any lower temps at all with these types of coolers.

Dvi isn't dead but if you're buying this class of card u really shouldn't need it if u can spend 700$ on a video card u should be able to spend 5-600$ on a 4K panel in my opinion Dvi should stick to low/mid end cards from now on.
