I saw this picture while looking at overclocking guides and I wondered if I may have my power setup incorrectly. My GPU is currently connected exactly like the donβt do this diagram.
I have a 7900 XTX, having upgraded from a 5700 XT, yeah itβs a thing, and it is also a much chonkier boi. Weighs like 2.5 kilos, barely fits my case.
I knew GPUs had gotten bigger but then I built an all new PC, upgrading from a 2080 to a 4090.
Holy shit. That thing is fucking huge, man. I was literally stunned pulling it out of the box. Just set it down and stared at it for awhile trying to process technological progress. Itβs like 8 times the size of the GPU I had in 2006.
As I type this I"m in the process of building a new computer, going from a GTX-1080 to an RX7900GRE, and itβs relatively small, I got a 2-fan Asrock Challenger one and while itβs bigger than the 1080 itβs not as big as some Iβve handled. Itβs amazing how they managed to pack the 1080 into such a small package. I guess the blower fan helps.
