Not news, but I found it hilarious watching him run around manhandling all the displayed gpu's, commenting on physical appearance/designs. Kept thinking "don't drop them!"
And ... even as a 2-slot, 50xx gen is ofc huge - but the aftermarket ones even moreso. If I were to get a 5090, I'd want the FE if I could still get it when I wanted to buy - wouldn't care re: any OC and not keen on bigger size and bigger price, lol.

 

You know, in other branches of electronics, devices becoming SMALLER is actually a sign of progress. Not the vice versa...

Really not sure if "Ever more PS" and brute forcing against clearly physical limitations is the solution here for all eternity, in general. Gotta be a reason why even cards that have the power of 2016 entry level GPUs can't be sold for anything less than 100$+ Dollars too. That's as if back in 2006 a 3dfx Voodoo1 was still on display for actual money -- 2006 was the year of TES Horse Armor DLC, Neverwinter Nights 2 and GeForce 7 series, just in case nobody remembers.
