GIGABYTE Unveils RTX 3090 TURBO: For When You Absolutely Need Lateral Blowers for 350W GPUs

Perhaps the most unique GeForce RTX 3090 offerings from GIGABYTE has to be the Turbo Edition. Possibly its most cost-effective card based on the $1,500 GPU, the Turbo Edition features a classic lateral-blower based cooling solution that guides all its air through an aluminium channel-type heatsink, and out of the rear bracket, with none of it exhausted into the case. This is a bold choice for a cooler given the feisty 350 W typical board power for the RTX 3090. The card is exactly 2 slots thick, and just 26.6 cm long, making it possibly the shortest air-cooled RTX 3090. It's a little over 11 cm tall (standard full-height). An interesting design choice by GIGABYTE is to locate the card's two 8-pin PCIe power connectors at the tail end of the card. GIGABYTE didn't reveal whether the card features factory-overclocked speeds, but we expect it to stick to reference speeds. Display outputs include two each of HDMI 2.1 and DisplayPort 1.4a connectors.

ppnWhat makes sence exactly.
I don't know if you meant that question for me, but if you did, I guess you didn't detect the sarcasm in my post. :oops:

Given the rear-end PCIe power ports, it should be fairly obvious this is targeted at mining/server use, not for your next gaming rig. I don't see why people are dissing this model, it's perfect for it's intended usecase: in a server, in a rack, in a soundproofed room.

While it is good to have a blower type cooler, I am not sure it will suit this card with 350W (base) TDP. Being 2 slots and the blower fan taking up a lot of space where it could have been a bigger chunk of heatsink, the cooler is not going to be very effective in my opinion. It will run, but I believe it will throttle under load.

[SIZE=4][I]Gigabyte Axes GeForce RTX 3090 TURBO, Disrupting Partner Server Plans[/I][/SIZE]

Multiple partners tell CRN that Gigabyte’s sudden end-of-life for its GeForce RTX 3090 TURBO graphics card, which only launched a few months ago, has disrupted server plans with budget-constrained partners and set back delivery timelines as a result. An analyst says Gigabyte’s move underlines one of the risks partners face when they decide to use a product intended for desktop PCs in a server.

Is it a really a gigabyte thing or is it more a NVidia not having enough supply for gigabytes product range ?
it's disappointing though. :(
