14 DAY TRIAL // Normally, a graphics card is made of a printed circuit board, a GPU or two, lots of other components, and a cooler, but the one that 23-year-old Xiaosheng Li put together is completely made of plastic.
Alas, with the use of plastic comes the unfortunate side effect of the board being a complete dud. A huge, 6-foot-long (1.82 meters) dud.
All jokes aside, though, what we're looking at is a huge Lego construction made of 11,396 pieces.
It's a replica of the GeForce GTX 690 dual-GPU adapter more than two feet wide (0.60 meters).
What must be most amazing is that the whole thing actually has a working fan.
As far as homages go, this is among the better ones I've ever seen.
The Lego model was created after a digital mockup that Xiaosheng Li created himself, back in July. He got the idea from a "crude model of a competing company's graphics card" also made of Legos. The endeavor got him an autograph from CEO Jen-Hsun Huang.
