Actually pretty smart if you are not using all of those PCI lanes.
I love the idea too. But I can’t help but think k “what’s next, put the cpu and ram too? Why not build it with it’s own p/s and monitor. Oh wait…”
The current gen GPU’s really cemented the idea in my head that fairly soon the GPU will just be the motherboard, and everything else will just tack onto it. The daughterboard becomes the motherboard.
They’re just getting ludicrously large, and they use more power than the rest of the PC combined. Makes sense to me to just accept it, make it even bigger based around an absolutely enormous copper block, make it so that you just plug AC power straight into it and all of the components have a little home much like this M.2 Idea.
I think it’s smart ASUS is doing this considering the current reviews on the 4060/4060ti seem to be leaning pretty negative. It adds something a little extra that may push someone over the edge to buy it if they’re on the fence.
Weebs should be ashamed of themselves, not reviewing GPUs.
Good thing NVME isn’t sensitive to heat!
Good thing a GPU is mostly a heatsink.
