      The RTX 4090 has unnecessarily large dimensions due to a misunderstanding between Nvidia and the assemblers. Nvidia thought the graphics card would consume 600W but when switching from Samsung's 8nm process to TSMC's 4nm, the consumption has been reduced to 450W.

        But how can they make such a mistake! Don't they test the GPU after the process change?...it seems like a joke, seriously how can they miss that “small” detail of the consumption from 600w to 450w before starting to design and prepare the heat sinks. In the end, consumers pay for this because the more the assemblers spend, the more they will pass it on to the end user.

          Miracle! Comments are working again. These people think they are still on top of the crypto world and think they will sell any mess. At least it has been a mistake that does not harm performance because if it had been the other way around it would have been funny. So, some careless messes. I would have to buy shares of ketchup manufacturers because they will need tons to swallow the GPUs that they will not sell.

            I don't think the problem was that they didn't try them out first or something like that, I imagine they would have already designed everything, manufactured and paid and etc by the time they changed the consumption, that is, they had to start all over again and throw away what they already had manufactured, they could even have PCBs and everything who knows.
            And that's in the case that the issue is as they paint it and the misunderstanding isn't really from the press.

            The bad thing is that this makes them even more expensive unnecessarily, because in the technical part there's no problem, that they come oversized in PCBs and heatsink? well, that's wonderful, the only thing missing was that they also came oversized in the power circuit.... massive overclocking that I'm going to do!!
