This Nvidia RTX 4090 video wins the best April Fool’s Day 2021 joke

April Fool’s Day jokes are usually lame and lack real effort, but 20-year-old Kasper Andersen seized the opportunity for 2021 to deliver Nvidia’s RTX 4090. The Danish hardware enthusiast loves making homemade replicas of retro graphics cards, but his latest RTX 4090 project envisions a future where the Nvidia card uses 1,000 watts of power, has a 12-fan design, and includes 48GB of VRAM.

The video is a work of art, with subtle details like two power cords, RGB lighting, or the ridiculous GPU benchmarking tool that records over 23,000 frames per second. My favorite is when the whole PC turns on and the desktop starts to wobble, a Pepsi Max can fall, and then the test bench swings on its own and crashes into the monitor. It’s a pure chef’s kiss.

If that’s not enough, wait for Andersen to unveil the flagship RTX 4090 Ti with eight SLI GPUs that “only take up four PCIe slots”. Andersen also created a similar video for Intel’s Xe gaming GPU. It includes a GPU to CPU switch on the top, “which allows you to use the board as a motherboard”. There are many more fun videos and projects on Andersen’s Captain’s Workspace site.

Andersen’s shenanigans won’t make the RTX 4090 any more real than the constantly out-of-stock RTX 3080, but if you’re still trying to get a new GPU, I hope this video puts a smile on your face as you battle scalpers. , stock notifications and GPU prices totally out of control.
