from Gizmodo:

"April Fool’s is the worst holiday, but this is one stunt we can get behind. Someone built an obviously fake Nvidia RTX 4090 and 4090 Ti to get into the spirit—and to poke fun at the current graphics cards situation—and it’s so ridiculous it has to be seen to be believed.

Spotted by PCMag, Denmark-based PC builder Kasper Andersen has created the ultimate graphics card out of a hodge-podge of old and defective parts. Andersen told PCMag some of the fan motors came from coolers for Pentium II processors, and the outer casing was made with a 3D printer, which took more than a month and a half to make."

    That was funny... loved that it's a "compact card"...

    Suddenly all my unnecessarily elaborate jokes don't seem so nuts... 

    Thanks.

    hhhhmmm,,

    We could construct an orbital mining vessel with say, 40,000,000 of these and hook the ship to a dyson sphere around our own Sun.We could mine crypto-blockchains with out the climate change regulators breathing down our necks.

    Well,, except for the whole blocking out the Sun to mine cypto thing.

    But that wouldn't be a problem if we can get the court case transferred to the 9th circus.We just give Cali a discount on the rental rate we charge them for sunshine pass through.

    ...but only 48 GB.  Crikey the RTX A6000 already has that and is puny in comparison.  A card that size I'd expect no less than 72 GB with 120 on the Ti version. 

    Wonder what  Nvidia will charge for the tie down straps to keep it in place and a fan guard to keep things near the desk from being sucked in like coffee cups, your mouse, small pets, etc.

    Fantastic, that was some effort put in there. Did anyone see the LTT video? I cant believe he's made over $15k in 2 days from a joke.

    If he made $15k good luck to him ... best laugh I have had for a long time. I'm still wiping my eyes.

    Yes it sort of went wrong and people actually signed up, now he's obliged to do weird things for those who send money
