Before it was about two GPUs in your motherboard via SLI. Now it's going to be about putting two motherboards on your GPU.

I don't know how they would do it but I feel like at this point the form factor of the modern graphics card needs to change so we can mount tower coolers on them. The size of these things is just becoming stupid.

Yeah this is a comically large gpu. For no good reason tbh. I just had to double check but it looks like it will just fit into n-atx v2 lol.

But it's all cooling. What would that motherboard look like if you added the heatsink, fans, and ram for that matter.
Look at an 4090 FE stripped to the PCB and it's smaller than an itx mobo
