As has been stated many times, there is no need. Considering the fairly low board power (for the performance anyway) and the sheer size of the cooling solution, you aren't going to need to move as much air to keep the thing cool.
The size of the vent is definitely too small, even for a card with half the tdp of the 5870. This is not a low-power part.
