More fans that can fail and are near impossible to replace because they are custom designed from China and hard to find as a spare part item anywhere besides on some Chinese marketplaces and even then.

For a product designed to be sold in China this is less of an issue. Every user will by definition have a "Chinese marketplace" down the street. And I bet most of those have actual tech repair shops of a type rare in the US.

With higher tiers of products restricted it makes sense that in China the best they can get will be pushed to it's limit in performance and profitability. Not at all unusual for a manufacturer to add a few "extra" features to justify on paper a large increase in price mostly caused by small supply.
 
that engineering would have been better spend on a waterblock.

That said, i thought China was forbidden to import the most powerfull chips. So how a chinese company can make cards based on them ?
 
coming up you will need a external case to supply proper zots and cooling.

External GPU exist now. Mostly used on laptops but if the power requirements keep going up, there could be a use for them on Desktops as well.

Fully Component PC system ... like old Hi FI systems where you just buy a new box to attach to system when you want an upgrade. Buy a new 5090 and it comes it is own case with its own PSU (I have always sort of wished they would if only to stop people putting low quality PSU with high end GPU)

My 7900xt meant to be quad slot according to Techpowerup but I think its 3.5
they getting seriously fat

I came in to post the 4080 video but I was too late :)
 
the gpu will become the main cpu in the 5000 series, and the power needed to run them will exceed an old 3000 rig setup

thats absurd looking, power hungry ... 5 fans thats a lot of future problems waiting to happen


and seeing the teardown, some the thermal pads are almost out of the ic dies ??? lack of quality there
 
My RTX3080ti oc takes up 2 slots. I remember installing it thinking the sheer weight and size of these monsters is borderline crazy. It's only money, right?
It's called competition. Neither Nvidia nor AMD knows what the competitor will come up with. They'll take out as much performance they think they'll need to beat their competitor. And dual slot air cooled card will struggle get rid of +450 up to 600W heat or that they simply will be too noisy. Hence we see tripple slot cards nowadays.

Of course it's competition and marketing skills that folks on this board fall for. They need that extra 4 frames per second. You need that sh*t!

As long they continue coparate with the gamer developers and making games harder to run on current gen hw it will be so. Remember Nvidia said their 3080 was their go to 4K cards. And now 3 years later they are almost useless for the newer games. Greed have many ugly faces.

Alan Wake II assumes everyone will use upscaling, even at 1080p

RTX 3070 recommended for 1080p with DLSS performance mode

I don't waste1/2 of my life playing games. If it paid money to "play" I'm all in. To each their own.

When you can get an AIO liquid cooled 4090 for $1750, where do they get off thinking this thing makes any sense at $1999?
