Yes, you solved the secret. Remove the plastic.

its for the airflow. If you power it without the air will have no direction to go and its going to get hotter

That's not how this works
That's (exactly) like removing a radiator fan shroud from a car

There's a reason that only el cheapo, low TPW cards come with no shielding.
You'll get much better thermals if you keep it on. Some gaymur cards will straight-up die without one even when performing only mundane tasks because the thermals are so shit and the thermal throttling can only cap the performance so much..
