Your Graphics Card Needs an SSD!

[Nullzd]

"GPU: look at me, I'm the motherboard now" meme is starting to get too realistic

[BRMakesStuff]

"What computer do you have?"
"An RTX 4090."

[smoothmiles]

"Yo dawg I heard you like SSDs"

[NP_Com]

"my gpu ran out of space"
Edit 7 months later: i got this video reccomended again and got shocked.

Previously: built-in graphics on the motherboard

The future: built-in motherboard on the graphics card

[RogueAI]

I wish vram could be expanded like that

[Fvistugdsggratugfh]

“How much vram do you have?”
“Uhhh 2 tb”

- "You provide cooling for SSDs"

Your GPU is becoming the System within a System

[Henry-Kuren]

If only they used this tech to store prerenders and shader caches to take load off the GPU.

I’d be more excited if the gpus just used the full 16 lanes by default

GPU: look at me, look at me. I am the computer now

[Cold_waffles]

They should do this with VRAM. All my problems will be solved

[italianbasegard]

These graphics cards require you to split the x16 lanes into x8 for the GPU and x4 for the NVMe drive using what’s called “PCIe bifurcation”. Even attempting to use such an SSD on a GPU like this requires your motherboard to support PCIe bifurcation.

I’ve ran server disks using PCIe bifurcation before. It is a nuisance to set up, a nuisance to manage, and the payoff is negligible (assuming you have space M.2 slots on a standard motherboard, use those instead).

So no, no I am not excited for this GPU or this approach at all lol.

How can I cool my SSD?

Nvidia: How about you strap it to the second hottest component in your computer?

4060: "What is my purpose?
Me: "You are a house for my SSD."
4060: "You've gotta be fckin kiddin me!"

[AZREDFERN]

My mini-ITX would be happy. It has 2 full size M.2 slots. But only one of them has a cooler, and the other is on the bottom of the board with no head space for a heat sink or any airflow if you found a low profile one.

[NotGoofyBenanymore]

Dude that’s actually awesome. I can’t wait to hear more abt these future projects with pcs. Thanks Zach!

2077: and now you can also put some ram on your gpu

[buenogoodlive]

In the future, your graphics card will just be your computer.
