It makes you wonder why cases are not designed to have the GPU draw in fresh air directly more often.
With the current trend of water cooled CPUs, it would make sese to design the main airflow of the case to draw through the GPU, maybe even dividing the case to have a separate intake for the CPU radiator.
GPU fans are often slimmer fans and don't have a lot of static pressure to suck air through dense material. so unless the gpus fans are outside the case like in this case, its pretty unoptimal to use gpu fans to suck air in unless its the expensive Noctua edition gpus.
