7900XTX (Playstation 2 for scale)

I need to be clear that my intentions for that graphics card are sexual in nature
- I got the 24gb model last August. Laugh a little Everytime I boot up half-life alyx and the game says not enough vram
  
  How much vram does alyx need? Wtf
Jesus fucking Christ
- I think it's 7900XTX fucking PlayStation 2
  
  Or the other way around. We can never be too sure.
Yeah. I got one and it's a beast. I had to design and print a support for its ass to keep it from sagging.
- Time to bring back the old horizontal style cases from the 80s/90s lol
  
  you got no idea how much i miss those.
  
  Miss my old purple and grey packard bell with windows 3.11
- I switched to a server-style case which sits horizontally exactly for this reason. The sag will only get worse.
  
  I'm using a sandwich style case with the PCIE port at the top of the case and the 3 scews for the slots are at the bottom. It basically pushing the card up and backwards into the PCIE extension cable's slot. No ass sag, but I can tell there's a limit to how much it would be able to handle like that. I've got a 7900xt (not xtx) so it works for what I need right now.
  
  Which case is that?
- I've printed one as well for mine, but I'm interested in yours if you would care to share it :)
  
  I'll get it shared tomorrow. It's designed after a bottle jack but is completely threaded to allow for adjustment and doesn't have any of the handle components, obviously.

- Not to compare, but I remember I had put a few olden (20 years old at least) lego bricks from my childhood together and made a support castle underneath an XFX brand 6700 XT with 3 fans.
- This one is from Sapphire and it came with an anti-sag bracket. My 3080Ti from MSI did too actually.
  
  Mine probably did too, TBH. Why I didn't use it is anyone's guess.
Fuck that thing. THREE slots? I had to abandon one project and look for alternatives because my GFX card already block one slot from being used, but blocking two is crazy.
- Three slot bracket with a four slot cooler.
  
  And there are still people making them fit in mini-itx cases, no doubt.
wow it's not the dwarf toploading ps2 either.
What kind of unholy abomination will be born from this? Some kind of half-PC half-console hybrid?
- Oh we already had that.

And I thought my 6800XT was big
I love this card! I put it in the Xproto L case and it looks amazing.
Damn boi, that's a thiccccc boi
I thought consoles were bigger.
I purchased both the 7900xtx and a 4090. Kept the 7900xtx. Absolutely adore this card. Being a Linux nerd made it a no brainer, but the performance vs price ratio wasn’t there.
Are they trying to chop motherboards in half or what?
