Are GPUs really that big??? What kind of case could this even fit into? Have cases become bigger than desks?

I think it's just one of those miniature children. Smoked his whole life. Lad won't get taller than 12".

Thank you, somehow this fits better into my world view and is more easily digestible 😂

The newest ones are basically the size of small dogs. It's ridiculous.

The boxes are much larger than the GPU so they can surround them with dense foam. But yes the current ones can be over 300 mm long and 2kg

Yeah I actually had trouble finding a case to fit my GPU, and it's a 3070. The case I did find has maybe 2mm of clearance lol
