NVIDIA RTX 4090 "Ada" Founders Edition Cooler Spied, Retains Dual-Axial Flow-Through Design

looks like 4+4+3 memory chips. but I can't see it as 10.

Well spotted

Guess the mini crowd will be crying about that.

The mini crowd will ALWAYS be crying about something.

Getting close to the point where the the gpu will simply be the entire case an you’ll bolt on your meager add-on components such as a motherboard and cpu..

Considering that today's GPUs are quite literally more complex than every other part of a system combined...

It will be amazing if it comes out in July. That'll be a real sign that AMD is going to show up with a real threat AND/OR that they are pricing this above what currently exists. Imagine slotting in this above the $2k for the 3090 Ti.

Nah, better to use a riser and dremel with 70% of gpu sticking out the side of the case

That would keep the card cool and the case!

I think the FE design is very tasteful and aesthetic. Many people do. I am surprised though they didn't really change it in the new generation, normally it's updated.

I hope this is a joke. The whole 12pin connector hanging in the middle of the board in plain view ruins any aesthetic it might have displayed on a shelf.
Plus it's a nightmare to take apart and service (GN found like 70+ screws and glue). Not to mention cleaning those individual nooks and crannies of dust is a pain in the ass.

FE only looks good taken out of the package or displayed on a shelf. In real world use where cleaning and servicing is nessessary it's about as anti-repair and annoying as Apple's products. It just seems it was designed by designers to looks good in a render not by engineers to be functional in a case.

The only reason they have to have such stupid sized coolers on GPUs now is they just can't stop making them consume such idiotic amounts of power. Whatever GPU I use, I will always put a water block on it instead of one of these massive lumps in my case spewing 400+ watts of heat into the case.

Tasteful

Question: how do you cool all the board? Doesn't water blocks only cool the GPU chip? I heard way back this was the issue with wb.

Waterblocks now contact both the GPU core, VRMs, memory, and everything else that could need cooling.
Old ones were GPU core only, and so you got little heatsinks and some thermal paste and stuck them on the RAM and VRMs etc, then pointed a fan at it.
