    Just put the GPU in it’s own separate ATX case, why bother with PCI-X slot?

      I want a GPU delivered in its own housing on a plane like those old IBM 5mb hard drives from the 60’s

        You’re joking but we have to scale up, GPUs and CPUs will get bigger and bigger if they gonna be more and more performant. There is no cheating the scale where electrons will just jump across threads. It’s impressive where we’ve gotten and how fast we got there, but from now it’s either scale up or stay stuck at a few square centimeters of dense silicon.
