Fantastic news for the SFF community.

(Looks like Nvidia even advertises an "SFF-Ready" label for cards that are small enough: https://www.nvidia.com/en-us/geforce/news/small-form-factor-...)

It's a dual flow-through design, so some SFF cases will work OK but the typical sandwich style ones probably won't even though it'll physically fit

Not really, 575 watts for the GPU is going to make it tough to cool or provide power for.

There are 1000W SFX-L (and probably SFX) PSUs out there, and console-style cases provide basically perfect cooling through the sides. The limiting factor really is slot width.

(But I'm more eyeing the 5080, since 360W is pretty easy to power and cool for most SFF setups.)

Donno why I feel this, but probably going to end up being 2.5 slots

The integrator decides the form factor, not NVIDIA, and there were a few 2-slot 3080's with blower coolers. Technically water-cooled 40xx's can be 2-slot also but that's cheating.

40-series water blocks can even be single slot: https://shop.alphacool.com/en/shop/gpu-water-cooling/nvidia/...
