We used to have two slot gpu's as of last gen that went upto 3 slots, and now we are seeing 4 slot gpu's and it is all about to cool the power hungry beasts. But this trend surely has to stop. Yes, we can undervolt to bring power consumption to our desired needs and will most certainly be more efficient to last gen. But is that what 99% of users would do? I think about not only the power bill, the heat that is outputted, the spinning of fans,band consequently the faster detoriation of those fans and other components in the system. The noise output, and the heat that comes from the case will be uncomfortable.
I'm all for AIBs equipping 3-4 slot coolers to GPU and sell them at MSRP
That means with a little undervolting I can get similar experience to custom watercooling regarding thermal/noise.
Well if only there are any 3080/3090 available .
