Why the fuck all video chipsets are soldered to a board and they aren't socketed like a CPU? is this another technologically jewish trick? those soldering balls used on the GPU chips are less heat resistant than a socket with pins, but from laptop GPU's to PC graphic cards they are all being soldered and which is a fucking lottery of getting artifacts or total failure after few years of heating up.

Gaming laptops had various versions of MXM GPUs for years, but they were never really upgradable for heat and power reasons. Now that's pretty much dead anyway because thinness.

Everything else around it changes too. Chipset, ram, power delivery, outputs and every other tiny little thing. It would only work for one generation of cards. Upgrading your 7970 to a 280x -wait a minute

Here's a thinker for ya - CPUs used to be attached to motherboards via their own PCB too, just like RAM and GPUs still are... You fucking oxygen thief.

Why don't they make motherboards that supports AMD and Intel while they are at it?
Oh wait.

Sockets
A: Take more space
B: Cost extra vs just a solder job
C: Takes extra RnD
