Great for 3d stuff and graphics workload but for gaming is super overkill unless you are running multi 4k or 8k. 350 WATTS POWER CONSUMPTION!

How is it overkill ?
DLSS 3.0 and that 3-5+ plus Ray tracing performance uplift would make full scene Ray tracing nearly possible .
Unfortunately we're still far from realistic physical simulations in real time but the future is bright none the less.

Ray Tracing is a scam right now. I doubt 2nd gen RTX will improve a lot over 1st gen RTX. RTX impact performance a lot like 50%.

From the leaks that work on the new gpu report a massive increase in such workloads from the architecture itself .
Hopefully even low end cards will have rtx 2080 like performance in that specific workload.
Major card sag, anyone? This is a monstrosity! 
Let's see if this one is actually going to come out to consumers.

NVIDIA GeForce RTX 3090 Founders Edition Potentially Pictured: 3-slot Behemoth!
The rumor mill has no weekend break, and it churned out photos of what appears to be an NVIDIA Founders Edition version of the upcoming GeForce RTX 3090 next to the equivalent FE RTX 2080, with the latter looking like a toy compared to the massive triple slotter. The cooler comprises of the same...

This sounds more like a card for real time raytracing than the previous generation. Raytracing with global illumination and caustics will eat up your RAM instantly. I think we will reach the point where GPUs will have more RAM than the main board because that's the only way to make true raytracing happen. The volumes of data for lighting will be 50% of your performance. This is why so many developers have shied away from ever using it. It's hard to explain to your team why you would spend 50% of your computing budget on lighting and it still doesn't make much sense when you could spend that 50% on bigger worlds, more content, better textures, geometry or effects that look indistinguishable from raytracing.
NVIDIA Shares Details About Ampere Founders Edition Cooling & Power Design - 12-pin Confirmed
NVIDIA today shared the design philosophy behind the cooling solution of its next-generation GeForce "Ampere" RTX 3080 / 3090 graphics cards, which we'll hopefully learn more about on September 1, when NVIDIA has scheduled a GeForce Special Event. Part of the new video presentation shows the...
It seems the above image is confirmed for the RTX 3090 Founders Edition and air-cooling the device is optimized.
Still unsure about the recommended psu requirements--someone said 850 watts, another said: no, not that much.

In parallel with high-performance graphics cards, I would like you to focus on developing small products that do not require auxiliary power. I am concerned that in the near future the size of the graphics card will be the same as the motherboard.

Good observation, mate, the only ones who can reduce the size of the graphs are the Japanese.
They already did it with the watch batteries.
show-zi, NVIDIA is well past the point of being driven by what the consumer might want. Rather, it drives the various markets. These massive cards, I bet they're going to drive up demand for all kinds of things: monitors, mainboards, power supplies, etc. Maybe even Legos.
That's why I mentioned card sag earlier. It's an embarrassing eye-sore if one is afflicted. Terrible. People use Legos to prop their gpu up. String, whatever.
I'm backing off 3xxx, I was kind of interested in the 3070 at one point. Thought I would snag a 2080 Super on sale seeing as Ampere is coming out very soon. But guess what? All sold out!

...Long time no see. How are you?
I'm with you. I feel that the core of the pc configuration is the graphics card, not the motherboard. Even so, it's too big. Mother cannot support it. In Japan, there are many users who use chopsticks to support their cards.show-zi, NVIDIA is well past the point of being driven by what the consumer might want. Rather, it drives the various markets.

Graphic cards are becoming a second computer inside your computer both in processing power and power requirement.

ZOTAC GeForce RTX 3090 and RTX 3080 Trinity Holo Custom-Design Graphics Card Rendered
Here's the first render of a finished custom-design GeForce RTX 3090 graphics card, courtesy of a leak by HD Tecnologia. The ZOTAC GeForce RTX 3090 Trinity Holo is shown featuring a conventional axial-flow fan-heatsink design. The card is taller than standard by a good inch or so, over 2 slots...
It seems these big gpus do come with backplates to help prevent sagging. Good.

If these cards are as heavy as they look, they'll need external support not to bend with time... something like @show-Zi 's picture a few posts above.

Dedicated stays for supporting cards are also on sale. If there is no back plate, I think it would be more conscientious if such stays were included as an accessory to the product.
With the growing size of graphics cards, I think the new standard for motherboard size should also be considered.
