ASUS ROG Matrix GeForce RTX 4090 Card Arrives September 19

ASUS has been teasing their first-ever ROG-aligned liquid metal thermal compound-cooled solution since the start of summer, in the form of a truly flagship Matrix GeForce RTX 4090 24 GB graphics card. Their late May reveal boasted about the importance of bleeding edge technology and a continuation of their Matrix product line's "special" legacy. A third quarter 2023 launch window was outlined—today they have narrowed that timeline down to a specific date—September 19. The ASUS ROG North American branch posted on its socials: "The wait is almost over!😎 Count down to the official launch of our flagship graphics card - the ROG Matrix GeForce RTX 4090. 🔥" A live stream has been organized to coincide with the headliner's retail debut (Sept 19th, 9:00 AM | New York and Sept 19th, 9:00 PM | Taipei).

Exact pricing is likely to be announced during launch day proceedings, but industry experts are setting expectations at $2000+. The fancy Matrix trimmings and highly selective binning process of Ada Lovelace silicon will come at a steep premium. The ASUS marketing talk from May boasted: "No reason to beat around the bush: the ROG Matrix GeForce RTX 4090 has the highest boost clocks of any RTX 4090 on the planet. Featuring a custom-engineered coldplate that captures heat not only from the RTX 4090 GPU die, but also the VRMs and memory chips, this card has even more headroom to push its clocks higher, for longer, allowing us to bin only the absolute best dies for this showpiece graphics card. In addition, the ROG Matrix GeForce RTX 4090 features an ROG first: liquid metal thermal compound on a graphics card."
Unboxing of the new ROG Matrix GeForce RTX 4090! Starts September 19.

Making it and AIO instead of custom cooled has to be dumbest decision ASUS has ever made.

Even though it was ridiculous and I'm not sure it even worked that well the hybrid air cooled open loop card they did for the 1080ti matrix would have been cool.

I thought the Strix marque was the Asus halo tier? Is the Matrix line the replacement for the Strix line?

They use to make a Matrix pretty frequently from the GTX 580-RTX 2080ti they only really skipped the 3090. I believe all of them where pretty limited runs. Basically the Kingpin/Toxic/Lightning tier card from Asus. I think the amd version was called Ares

I almost purchased the 980ti matrix but got the Classified instead.

Thats a pretty cool looking card. Not going get one unless your a reviewer or your a running ads for them. Never seen a Matrix publicly for sale. Only used market.

The 980ti wasn't overly hard to get but I never seen the 2080ti one available and only vaguely remember the GTX 580/780ti varients

Why so unnecessarily large?? Thought one of the benefits from wc was a slimmer card.

Nah, Strix was under the halo since the start. Look at motherboards for example. Even though it's under the umbrella of ROG, Strix was positioned under the Maximus/Crosshair series. Soundcard wise it's the only "gaming" line but technically still under the Essence series. In videocards I guess Strix is still under the old ROG sub-brands like Matrix or Ares, Mars if we ever se those in any form...

Nope, cause then it would hot AF AND cost even MORE $$, are you really wanting/needing a $3.3K GPU ? :D

For the 1080ti series I thought the Asus ROG (?) Strix was the top-of-the-line and lots of peeps cross-flashed the XOC VBIOS to remove power/thermal limits from their 1080tis.

GP had no matrix.
GA had no either.
TU had one, but it was more of the epicfail flavor, lets see how this one fares
