Radeon HD 7970 Made Out Of LEGOs

[HardOCP News]

Have you guys seen this AMD Radeon HD 7970 made out of LEGOs yet? Hopefully the guy that made this is working on another one so he can get a little CrossFire action going.

can it play crysis?

 

[DoggyDaddi]

Fuck this.... no way in HELL am I touching this till the drivers have matured

 

[TwiceOver]

Probably works just as well as the real thing.

What happens when you overclock it, do the LEGOs explode into pieces?

You never put legos in the oven as a kid?

Way back when, there was a time when our old fireplace cooking area (yes I grew up in the boonies) was covered in multicolored plastic, until dad scraped it off following my ass-whooping...

It looks like a PCIe 8x interface instead of 16x

I can't believe....."It looks like he BRICKED his video card." hasn't been used yet!

 

[Deimos]

I think I need to RMA mine, when I turn on my PC all I get is big lego shaped blocks on the screen...

 

[Krieger91]

I wonder what their reaction would be if he tried to RMA it, claimed that it's bricked. lol I cant even imagine their faces.

 

[tonyftw]

It should handle minecraft with ease.

 

[Dan]

i wonder if it will catch fire

 

[King Icewind]

You should see Nvidia's card: Megablocks. Ick.

 

[ahuang0284]

At least this version will make for easy modifications. I can just slap on an extra GPU if I like.

 

[Xyvotha]

macrostuttering is coming

 

[stevedave]

Such an AMD Fanboy

 

[Kor]

Spec's so low even the card has jaggies.

 

[jojo69]

i wonder if it will catch fire

I see what you did there

Awesome.

 

[AceGoober]

Perfect for Charlie Brown...he's a block-head, too!

 

[revenant]

that is pretty sweet.

 

[Hallucinator]

When I installed this, everything what's on screen looks like LEGO. Every words, pictures and gifs look so LEGOsque.

I'm gonna RMA that.

 

[suiken_2mieu]

I love this!

 

[10Neon]

but can it play Lego Batman?

When I put it in my system, the video card melted and my motherboard caught fire. I sent an RMA request to both Asus and Lego. Got Lego's response:

This type of damage is usually caused by the power supply supplying regular amounts of voltage, which caused the card to melt like this, this is not covered under warranty, its consider physical damage. Also Legos are a toy, so you shouldn't be hooking them up to a computer, you twit.
