Asus Made A GPU With No Cables

Asus Made A GPU With No Cables

Rating: 4.0; Vote: 1
The war on cables continues, with Asus showing off their motherboard concept that features a slot that delivers power to the GPU rather than having traditional cables running straight to the graphics card javiej: What an aberration. This design denies the best advantage of PCs against pretty much any other type of machine, which is the repairability and upgradeabikity based on open standards at open market prices. This is an anti-PC, just the product of corporate greed. As a PC enthusiast I will never buy something like this

I have always wondered why gaming motherboards couldn t use server GPU style power delivery. But I think the current style is to cut costs. Engineering a motherboard to support new power delivery circuits on the board isn t cheap. Especially if it s proprietary and not standard. If you don t have a window on your gaming PC. You don t need to have neat cable management.

The only problem is the cabinet. There aren't many companies for now that allow you to plug in to your sockets from behind. Maybe few years down the road, this may become the normal. Looks interesting and provides a better GPU support but need all vendors to be a part of this to take this change ahead.

This is the worst new trend I've seen today. The biggest issue with this is the lack of compatibility with standard components. Was anyone asking for this? In all likelihood, this will be a way to lock people into an expensive ecosystem of overpriced non-standard components.

i love this concept more than i can put into words. we can only hope the benefits of these ideas are compelling enough to eventually turn into everyday standards we take for granted. i wish this had happened years ago!

Asus, so far have the cleanest implementation of cableless gpu among other brands. But, I wish it is part of the PCIe standard instead, I don't mindi if the PCIe slot will be as long as legacy PCI 64-bit slot. lol

I wouldn't define myself as a casual but I would definitely buy this. When I build a new gaming pc I pick everytime everything from the ground up and I never switch things back and forth except for storage

This will also help with small form factor builds. Though I am wondering how they will would route it with the motherboard parallel orientation, instead of the usual perpendicular orientation.

Gordon is clearly exerting every fiber of his being to present this piece so enthusiastically seeing as he's probably THE person at PCWorld who's least concerned with looks and wires.

I like this idea - this should become a standard so you won't be restricted to one manufacturer.
Not to mention that the ATX in general is outdated so we need such workarounds.

All for moving power socket positions for a cleaner cable management but as someone who upgrades in steps NEVER buying a GPU & CPU/MOBO Combo together that's a HUGE NOPE! from me

More energy that has to pass through the motherboard.... Will we not create problems later like motherboards burning, as it is already fashionable to burn hardware material.
reply

I like how clean it looks but the card by itself has a zero reselling value because it won't fit elsewhere. The only solution is to sell the entire system to buy a new one.
reply

I dont' feel good about 600w of gpu power ALSO pushing through the motherboard on top of a beefy CPU. If they cut corners, I can see fire being a part of the equation.
reply

I could see this as a prebuilt setup. The only problem you are tied up to a single upgrade path unless other manufacturers follow this kind of power delivery
