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 have a 7900 XTX, having upgraded from a 5700 XT, yeah it's 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. 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.

As I type this I"m in the process of building a new computer, going from a GTX-1080 to an RX7900GRE, and it's relatively small, I got a 2-fan Asrock Challenger one and while it's bigger than the 1080 it's not as big as some I've handled. It's amazing how they managed to pack the 1080 into such a small package. I guess the blower fan helps.

I installed another fan into my case just so that monster is not resting solely on the back mount and the PCIE port.
