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 design we discussed in detail in June, with the unique obverse dual-fan + aluminium heatsink seen in the images below. We also covered alleged PCB photos, in case you missed them before, and all lines up with the most recent leaks. The only difference here is that pricing for the RTX 3090 FE is claimed to be $1400, a far cry from the $2000 mark we saw for certain aftermarket offerings in the makings, and yet significantly higher from the previous generation- a worrying trend that we eagerly await to see justified with performance, before we even get into case compatibility concerns with the increased length here. Either way, if the images below are accurate, we are equally curious about the cooling capability and how it affects partner solutions and pricing.

Hard pass, tbh
I know its more attainable then, but its like saying you doubt a new Lambo is going to compete with a LaFerrari, its not really relevant for the vast majority of us.
...the graphics card.
Well, I think AMD would have been in much worst position if the 3090 was a normal size graphics card.
Nvidia having to go over 300W, as it is rumored and probably is true, based on the size of the card, is a good thing for AMD.
Just consider the possibility of Nvidia coming up with a card 50% faster than 2080 Ti and at 200W. This huge card is good news for AMD, even if it is 50% faster than 2080 Ti. Especially at the rumored $1400 price with 3080 at $800, Nvidia is leaving plenty of room to AMD to breath.
At least with the larger fan size it might be quiet.
I hope the prices for the rest of the Ampere family will be reasonable, I can't even imagine the price of this monstrosity.Navi was already faster than equivalent Turing while being much smaller, they didn't scale it up, RDNA2 and if we look at consoles, apparently the Series X should be equivalent to a 2080, and the PS5 is able to run at high frequencies, so if they manage to add more CUs and run it fast enough I don't see why they can't compete with Ampere at least in rasterization and probably less efficient than Ampere.
It could probably fit my case (I have space in both directions), but it still is massive.
BTW I'm not going to buy a $2000 VGA :D
Looking forward for a RTX 3070.
I'm excited for 3000 series of course, my rendering rig could use some new muscle, but no way 3 slots and I even cringe at 2 slot models being spoiled by multiple 1 slot 1080Ti.
To produce is absolutley not cost effective, to have it in a ATX case ... Neither...
