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

[londiste]

Your picture cannot be the same card. The fan would not fit and 8-pin connectors are clearly aimed up.

 

[Bubster]

put AIO in the front of the chassi with the tube upright down to Cpu/gpu is the best option push /pull config with good SP fans

GIGABYTE can aim this BOX thing at any direction, but it's there. On the Eagle version. if you look at it.

Then should just call it miners edition...

We should call posts that think mining is still REALLY worth it and profitable affecting gpu sales (etc) a waste of precious thread space edition.

We need to move past this already. 2015 was 5 years ago.

 

[Vayra86]

its for that sick $4k sli setup

WHAT? I can't hear you over my sick SLI setup

I've had two midrange blowers in SLI at some point.... never... ever... again.

I really hate to post this because this guys also a hypocrite, because in later videos he contradicts it.

I personally like blower cards, especially the hybrid ones.

EVGA's hybrid's use fans while Colorful's hybrids use Blower.

I'm tired of the hate on blower cards.

I had blower style cooled cards back in 2009 with gtx 285 I 3 way sli. That was the first and last time I ever had a blower style cooled card.

Blower is for me = hot running, noisy and hornestly blower style just doesn't look as good as a 3 fan normal cooler and then mount such a cooler on to a 350 tgp watt card, sounds like the solution to a jet engine in your home making wast amount of heat. Now a decade later blower cooler are hopefully more efficient and better now.

But from my experience so far with blower coolers. This will not be the 3090 I would get, not even if it was the only one available for a long time.

 

[dont whant to set it"']

@QUANTUMPHYSICS there are some "unicorn" chassis's out there for example (my case) , it can fit an ssi-ceb (e-atx) mb , it's adequately fitted with appropriate fans for airflow , witch sayd airflow feeds and envelopes the graphics card , all in all with respect to the gravity well of our planet , bottom is cold air intake , top is exaust. Come to think of it , my search for the PC case was only a two days long one .

This will save people from alot of small form factor probs with RTX 3090.

I stopped watching that chump years ago

Idle curiosity, why not a 3 slot blower model? More cooling, larger radial fan (or even replaced with a quieter axial fan and wider air channel guides), and most residential PCs don't usually have other cards taking residence in the 3rd or 4th PCIe slot (depending on where the mobo maker puts the GPU slot). Besides, some of the larger GPU AIB variants tend to be 2.5 to 3 slot anyway.

 

[Jism]

For those worried about heat, power, and noise, don't forget that it's all too easy to install Afterburner and simply lower the power target. I can easily shave 60w off my system power consumption by setting my power target to a modest, yet still capable, 80%. I only turn up the power target when I am cold and I want my computer to generate additional heat.

A simple undervolt should do the trick as well; same goes with a CPU. The cooler you run your hardware in general the less power components need. I know it sounds strange but a GPU running at a modest 60 degrees on full load needs less power then the GPU running at 80 degrees load.

I like the design choice of Gigabyte, having the 2x8 pins at the back of the card and not on top or nvidia's 12 pin.

Until you see that special extender thing hiding under the shroud. I hope they make custom PSU cable for that.

How hard can it be, it's still only two 8 pin connectors, they have only flattened it out so it is 8 wires wide.

 

[Rob94hawk]

OK so when are these going to be released into the wild?

I must admit I'm tempted, my FT05 can get enough air around and over that blower that it might make sense tbh.

 

[Ubersonic]

Nice, this is what the flounders edition should have been.

Only if the metal inserts are the same on the 8 pin and on the flat 8pin. so it can be bypassed, by rolling a custom cable using all the available parts. It could actually be a good thing allowing for some ITX beauty cable management. Cant wait for builtzoid's opinion on this.

 

[MadStacksYo 1979psn]

Ha LOL I bet the only thing "Turbo" about this card will be the sound it makes when you get upto temp

hahahahaha

 

[Berfs1]

This right here is why people don't like blower fans on GPU's...they shouldn't be paired to 350w cards. They work fine on more like a 250w card, but add another 50w to 100w more and they quickly start to sound like a damn airplane jet motor.

Which is perfect for servers lol

At least it's a better solution than 1060/2060(S)/2070 reference which had the PCIe powercable hardwired to the card.

 

[thebluebumblebee]

Water cooling starter kit. I would not be surprised if, behind the scenes, GB isn't pushing this turbo model to the water cooling industry. Why pay for an expensive air cooler if you're just going to pull it off and throw it in a box?

 

[AusWolf]

Makes total sense. The 3090 has plenty of beef anyway, so when it clocks down to 1.1 GHz to protect itself from overheating, you won't even notice. At least your CPU will run 5 °C cooler.

 

[ppn]

What makes sence exactly. Bare in mind that everything was planned for 7nm. 8nm must have been last minute decision. the real size of GA102 should have been 426mm2, proportional to GA100.
So we are looking at a headless chicken that still keeps running around the area not accepting that it has been beheaded. moving on inertia. and people are buying this headless chicken for the real thing, but these as good as they are, are just the placeholder for Hopper.

 

[TheoneandonlyMrK]

Makes sense especially if you put two of them to do real work without ruining yourself with a quadro.

Ruin your ears that, made for a waterblock.

How does the 3090 come with 2 8 pins when the 3080 AIBs have 3?

 

[EarthDog]

How does the 3090 come with 2 8 pins when the 3080 AIBs have 3?

Spec between the pcie slot and 2 8-pins is 375W.

They likely have a higher power limit that would come close to or surpass that.. and marketing. 3 is moar than tew sew it must bee betr.
