Will we ever have customizable graphics cards like motherboards?

It's about usability for a general purpose cause. For example a super computer being made for anything, not for unused RT, etc. RT core is not usable in CUDA afaik.

Then the next question is how much die real-estate you could free up by cutting the RT cores, and how you could use it. AFAIK, RT cores take up about 10-15% of an Ada die, probably not worth bothering with.

Ditch rt, tensor, texture sampler and all 64-bit cores. Pure 32bit compute.

I have a feeling that if it was profitable, they would have done it already.

Your regular dies barely have any 64-bit cores.
Tensors are one of the most important features nvidia has come up with and that's what making them the big bucks currently.
