...you can already do that better for cheaper. For the price over a normal 4090 you could build a nice full PC water loop that would relocate a lot more heat.

I stand corrected, then. First post had "Due to its elaborate liquid cooling solution, the card is still 3.5 slots thick" as an article excerpt, the author didn't fact-check, and I didn't immediately perceive the bracket that would've hinted for...

not sure where they picked that up, even the articles shots show only a dual pci bracket on the back.

Asus already has the most unreasonably overpriced GPUs of all the AIBs, and now they're unveiling a halo model of a GPU that most people already can't afford? I can only imagine the profit margins... Also, 3.5 slots thick on a liquid-cooled GPU...

I mean if Kodak was allowed to operate one, then why not Microsoft? The new Gen 5's should be available for 2029, if they get started on the paperwork now they might have regulatory approval by then. The only catch is they will need to pay for...

If that is the standard, that is something I can get behind assuredly. As for "hidden cable" motherboards. Wallace Santos, the founder of Maingear, has the patent on this. I remember talking to him about this forever ago.

You want then each gen can have card perf going from iTX all the way to eATX multi GPU builds like a dual socket monster. hell maybe even socketed SoC GPU form factors.

If that's what it takes for real performance increases, I'm for it 😉

Ok How long until our GPU’s come in an ATX form factor and the CPU is in thr PCIe Slot? Any guesses??

I don’t know any gamers that particularly care about cloud gaming… … …but I do know a securities regulator in the UK who does…

Cloud gaming is so dumb. Consoles prove you can have decent hardware near you, what's the point of incurring the latency to have "high end" graphics.

Good. Cloud gaming can burn.

Apparently NVIDIA is selling 4090s themselves again? I had thought that Best Buy was going to handle it all now. https://store.nvidia.com/en-us/geforce/store/?page=1&limit=9&locale=en-us&gpu=RTX%204090&category=GPU,DESKTOP

That was the joke, it didn't land, I am tired. I blame France

This is one of the reasons I don't bother with the top-end card or 4K gaming. A 6800 gives pretty good results at 1440p, ignoring ray tracing (which no game I own but Callisto Protocol does anything meaningful with anyway).

Yep for sure. Nvidia is now an AI company who just happens to have some gaming cards.

Let's not forget who holds the REAL power here. TSMC. Without their technology, both Nvidia and AMD would immediately collapse. TSMC is both a blessing and a scourge, for if AMD or Nvidia could only fabricate their own chips, then not only...

the hyperbole is fantastic; there has been no brick wall. Generational gains have gone down, but then again, when that started happening was about the time Nvidia started replacing cuda cores with Tensor cores in die space. would be interesting...

It sounds to me that Nvidia wants to keep the large GPU dies and give us the small itty bitty ones and expects us to use DLSS to achieve the higher frames. They will call it innovation. Who knows at this point. The technology is good but a lot of...
