The Visiontek HD3870X4!

[nevermind1534]

What, when you consider that DirectX11 hasnt been released yet, and the specs say it supports DirectX 12.1. Also, the device is rather small for a 4 core graphics card, considering that a 2 core card takes up rather a lot of space. Also, where's the guard for the fan and the heatsink, which would be able to boil water with a fan that size and 4 HD3870 cores.

A whole blu-ray disk compressed to 200MB? And four cores running on the bandwidth of USB 2.0, even 3.0? Please...

I'm sure that this is a joke, and that everyone is in on it, but either the connection for a USB got a hell of a lot bigger, or they have finally made 11nm cores. Still cant see it running over USB, with the information running back into the laptop screen.

Yes, it has to be. That's what I've been thinking all along, especially after reading that it supports DirectX 12.1. The picture does look photoshopped to some extent. That would, I'd imagine, get very hot. It has a fan to blow air in, but where does the hot air come out?

Seconded.

The fine print at the end is there for a reason

Disclaimer: The VisionTek HD3870 x4 USB graphics stick is not real, but we are working on it. Happy April Fool’s!

Even funnier is that USB graphic upgrades could actually be a possibility in the coming years

Not until about USB 4.0

The bandwidth would be one hell of a limitation when it comes to high performance GPU's, especially a quad-core GPU.

And yea, it would get so hot that it would melt the plastic. Also, the heatpipes dont go anywhere.

And how would it route the display to the internal one without using the built-in GPU, which would really limit performance.

It would be a great idea, but no chance of it any time soon.

By the way, nice usb hub.
