At some point, these are going to be too big for motherboards. I wonder what mounting solution is next. Would positioning them outside the case with a ribbon cable be a problem timing wise?

Doubt it, you can already get some fucking Long ones for mounting your GPU in weird places right now, if you want

To be fair, the most powerful card on the market can be a bit bigger than normal. Complaining about the bulk of a high-end card is like bemoaning the poor fuel economy of a Bugatti Veyron.

These cards look to be a massive ripoff.

They didn’t even mention pricing and the 5080 is faster and less power hungry then the 4090? How is that a “massive ripoff”?

It is totally nuts that they are charging the cost of a full computer for the price of one of their 80 series graphics cards. These cards should be in the $500 to $600. They have just continued the covid price rape. It is not acceptable.

So … You have no source, just a feeling that because the 4000 series was really expensive the 5000 series is also going to be really expensive.

Because nvidia has been jacking up prices just because. 40xx series is still like $2000, these are gonna be like $2200

Nvidias stock went nuts because they are overcharging for all of this shit because “AI” companies are scrambling for more horse power to generate boring slop and nvidia is ready to tear their wallets new assholes.

its amazing how video cards used to drop in price over their life, and now they seem to maintain their price, with the next generation being more expensive.
