Ha, i guess all the good ideas are taken

Its a good idea, just not practical, imagine the amount of heat you mb would generate. even considering layering the pcb's
One day when technology can run more volts, at higher freq with cooler temps, maybe then it would be plausible

Then what about...motehrboard enclosures...that have huge ass 500mm fans on them...they'd look like black boxes with the companies decals all over it, like evga stuff. Im just full of ideas

...and they call those computer cares...rofl /selffail

I think it would be possible in couple of years...nano technology

Plus. Video cards look cool! Well, Basicly what he is discribing is Integrated but instaead of a built in GPu, it's removable. It could work and have no upgradeable memory, and only ATI or nVidia would work probably not both seeing as they have complete different chips.

Well, how on earth would you fit the GPU, and its memory, and its I/O controllers and such, and its cooler, all on the motherboard? If you took a big GPU and laid it down flat on the expansion slot area, it covers almost the entire space. Good luck with multi GPU setups. "Going Vertical" with expansion cards allows a lot more to be fit on a motherboard without increasing its footprint.

And there is also the issue of different sockets, all of a sudden you would not only have to match your motherboard to the socket and chipset compatabilities of your CPU, but now your GPU as well.

Remember when first computers were created?

They were huge , and as strong as a calculator

Look now at the mini laptops , the ultra thin mac laptop

So why , in a couple of years , couldnt they make a video card as small as a cpu?

IMO theres no limit with technology

Orion ZyGarian · 07-10-09

Yes, but the limits on technology are hitting a wall called "heat." The more voltage and amperage these things use, the more heat they make. There's no way around it; simple physics. Onboard graphics mobos pretty much already have GPUs the size you're talking about, but as time continues, heat management will become more and more important.

If it was feasible on a big scale, it would be happening. I think 90% of us if not more like it how it is and dont think it needs to change in the slightest.
