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 don’t do this diagram.

    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. It’s like 8 times the size of the GPU I had in 2006.

      The volume of the PCB should be the same in both GPUs, the difference is that the 4090 has an enormous cooler/heat dissipation.
