How does that compare to laptop dGPUs though? Which are already neutered performance-wise for heat and power consumption reasons. Both of which also get worse as you scale up to more powerful GPUs just as happens with PCIe bandwidth.

Last I knew GPUs don't use nearly that much PCIe bandwidth if your not SLI-ing or something.
It has it available, but doesn't use it.
Could become more relevant as directstorage becomes a thing though.

Yeah on PC I have only had to pay for the original skyrim and skyrim vr.
The rest have been free upgrades.

Fighter pilots already essentially already have this and it works great for them.

Yeah, while it's gameplay is incredibly deep, graphically it's not the best and it's easy to tell after a second.

Why do you claim I'm denying the benefits of it? I'm not.
> Why are you so bent on denying the benefits of this feature.
I feel like thats a lot of extrapolation from my one comment lmao. I'm not bent on anything.
I simply saying that in the present, without the above tech, you could make a good guess as to where it happened. As you said just now it's great that he was able to tell exactly where it was with 100% certainty, i'm not denying that in the slightest.
But without it, you could probably still take a guess and still be at least probably 80% accurate. I'm no trying to claim that it's better in the slightest, just that if you knew a crash happened after the audio cut out you could probably find them pretty fast even without it.

Good point also, but that would require access to their account assuming it works like android.

You could probably make a very good guess by just following the routes she takes daily. The guy presumably knew where she was going and probably the way she usually gets there.

Theres nothing that's fundementally stopping a manufacturer from doing that.
But it's designed as an internal connector:
-Full 16x slots are big. Bigger then any external connectors that I can think of off the top of my head, or 8x.
- your going to get an unpleasant surprise when you try to disconnect something while running without compatible hardware and without jumping through the hoops you gotta do on the software side to shutdown the power to a pcie device (and not accidentally power down something like your internal sata or USB controller). Same goes for connecting something.
- the devices are also in general going to be designed for internal use (exposed fans, exposed PCBs that you could shock with ESD, etc.).
- You can't expect users to know that e.g. plugging in a PCIe device might rerout pcie lanes from say your NVME controller to the new device and that will make buyers *very* unhappy and support tickets will go through the roof, your don't expect your VGA connector to stop working because you have used all your USB slots for example because to an inexperienced that's what it would look like.
- And i'm sure there's a lot more reasons I could think of that an external pcie connector is a terrible idea.
