After fabled RTX 4090 Ti was allegedly dug out of a bin last year, tech testing YouTuber puts Nvidia's prototype GPU through its paces

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.

Reportedly cancelled, one lucky poster apparently saved a prototype model from landfill back in November 2024 (via VideoCardz).

I'm about to go full Danny DeVito and debut my refuse-themed, musical wrestling persona, the Queen of Slop.
