Oregon Coast Trail Confession: I haven’t actually seen a modern desktop GPU that was released in the last three years, up close and in person. Until today.
Holy crap these are massive now! (Cassette tape for scale)
@killyourfm it's mostly heat-sink and fans, cpu ones are massive now too. I have the water cooled version of the 4090 and it's far more reasonably sized, about the same size as my old 960, only takes up one slot and doesn't require a longer case (you can still fit drive bays/etc in front of it)
@raptor85 OK now I have to seek out a side-by-side 4090 air/liquid cooled comparison.
@raptor85@mastodon.gamedev.place@killyourfm
They make my exact card both air/liquid cooled (the 4090 suprim 24G by MSI)
Air Cooled: 336x142x78mm
Liquid: 280x140x43mm
basically it's considerably shorter and almost half as thick.
granted the liquid does obviously use an external radiator similar to the cpu one (they're actually pretty much the exact same), mine I replaced two of my three front fans with the radiator setup.
@raptor85 My first question is why they can't spell Supreme properly. (I do appreciate the comparison, thank you for that.)
@killyourfm the power of trademark and being the top search spot for a word on google, lol
I'm very glad I got the water cooled version, it's nice and quiet, and isn't so long it hits my front fans and thin enough i can actually plug in other PCIe cards
