The reality of mounting e-waste is just one more thing that keeps me up at night—though every now and then, such a nightmare spits out a real gem.
One Reddit user shared that after recently moving, they went rummaging through a bin full of junked computer parts, and pulled out not just a surprisingly decent graphics card, but something genuinely special.
Over the years, we've reported on the graphical powerhouse that never was, the Nvidia RTX 4090 Ti. Reportedly cancelled, one lucky poster apparently saved a prototype model from landfill back in November 2024 (via VideoCardz).
You know what they say, one person's trash is another's GPU—wait, haven't we been here before? I'm about to go full Danny DeVito and debut my refuse-themed, musical wrestling persona, the Queen of Slop.
Jokes aside, what surfaced on Reddit last year appeared to be a mostly complete prototype, with both the MASSIVE cooler plus the card itself.
