Zotac has debuted a new flagship NVIDIA model for the Chinese market only - its latest GeForce RTX 4090 24 GB graphics card now arrives as a Prime Gamer Force (PGF) Overclocked edition, which is reported to sit in a tier above the (more familiar) AMP Extreme series. A listing on JD.com has it priced at 17,599 RMB (just under $2500), so this a serious bit of kit. Zotac PGF cards are normally tricked out with the company's best cooling solutions, which allows for greater clock speeds and power—this new model is the first example of an Ada Lovelace GPU getting togged up with Prime Gamer Force livery. The Zotac RTX 4090 PGF OC's cooler design appears to share the same overall shape from the AMP Extreme AIRO variant, but it has been updated with new shroud and backplate designs, four (software controlled) RGB lighting areas and an understated white/black aesthetic.

The RTX 4090 PGF OC edition is cooled by three 11 cm fans and a vapor chamber (akin to the AMP Extreme AIRO's solution). The card is one of the largest available on the market with dimensions of 381 mm (L) x 154 mm (W) x 74 mm (D)—beating the equivalent Gigabyte AORUS Master and its Zotac AMP sibling (by 2.5 cm length-wise). ITHome published their (mandarin language) review of the China market-exclusive flagship Zotac card earlier today. The RTX 4090 PGF appears to have a single 16-pin power connector and a 24+4 phase VRM design, with a maximum TDP rating of 525 W. An on-card BIOS switch can enable a 2625 MHz OC mode, the default clock speed is set at 2580 MHz—fairly typical for a high-end GeForce RTX 4090 model. The PGF card outdoes its AMP Extreme AIRO sibling by a small margin in overclocked mode—it is 45 MHz faster (2625 MHz vs. 2580 MHz).

Oh look, the diameter of the average lateish battleship cannon shell. Next is 406mm and I am afraid we will reach that too.
 
The aesthetic kinds reminds me of the 00s, in a nostalgic sort of way (like a hanging or wall decoration I'd see at an arcade).
