A Visit to PNY at Computex: NVIDIA's Jensen Really Loved This Card and Signed it

[btarunr]

We visited the PNY booth at the 2024 Computex and found something interesting, an air-cooled GeForce RTX 4070 SUPER graphics card, and a pre-built, which was custom-made by PNY for their booth. Jensen Huang of NVIDIA visited this booth, and signed the card. It's now quite the attraction. It's a simple lateral blower card that's meant to be bought in numbers, and crammed into workstation cases, where the lateral blower design allows neighboring cards to breathe better. Typically, such cards tend to have boring, unremarkable black designs, with plastic cooler shrouds, but PNY managed to make their card stand out with a die-cast metal shroud finished in NVIDIA's favorite shade of green. As of now, this card isn't a real product, but we've been told that the company is considering a small production run, without Jensen's signature, of course.

The logical next step would be motherboards with PCIe slot reinforcement anodised and dyed NVIDIA-green. SLI boards used to do that with plastic, I think.

Too bad we have to wait a year

Edit: oh you found the typo

May have been just a gimmick, but I liked this

Back in the day it was common to see cases, gpu shrouds, case internals etc spray painted that color. I won't say what the color was generally called (don't want to hurt anyone's feelings). Point being, it doesn't take much work to rattle can a shroud and make it look good.
