ROG Astral GeForce RTX 5090 32GB GDDR7 OC Edition card weighs almost as much as average newborn baby [~3.1 kg]

Graphic card sizes and power requirements are inversely proportional to the size of their customer's encephalon. As gaming became mainstream, the core audience of the 80s, 90s and 2000s was left behind in favour of fools that are easily parted with their money.

Pretty soon the CPU and GPU are going to swap places! Imagine all the cooling you can fit with an ATX sized GPU with a pcie slot for a NUC extreme like compute element on it!

I went from a 780ti to 4070ti in a new build, was no way I was getting it in my case with the CPU cooler on. Legit have maybe 3-5 mm clearance to the front of the case and the included support couldn't be mounted in my matx case, printed a support so at least it won't sag but it's unreal just how much larger of a card it is compared to what was (at least to me) a large card at the time.

Lol, this thing is €2200. giving birth at the hospital costs €580,51 according to google.

So it's even more expensive😂

Also die area,

Phenomenal weight gains. This battleship can run hotter, louder, heavier, and cost you more.
