 I've never seen a retail card like that before and this is the first dual fan founders edition. my hot take: looks power hungry af

Pretty soon they're going to ship with couplers to hook directly in to the refrigerant loop on a home AC system

i've seen pictures of janky ducts leading to A/C units but honestly kinda surprised nobody's tried selling a little A/C unit that just bolts onto the side of a tower case what's the minimum practical size you can make an air conditioner anyway?

this is not a new idea https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Computer_cooling#Phase-change_cooling and people have tried to sell the units before and mostly gone bust useful units use larger compressors than refrigerators for a sense of practical sizing

iirc 1080 founders was $100 more than the normal stuff you get from other companies like evga the founders stuff is branded nvidia instead of evga $$$$$$

yeah founders edition is literally just nvidia-branded for more money for the same product that might not even be as good as other oems that don't use the standard cooling
