The scheduled forum maintenance has now been completed. If you spot any issues, please report them here in this thread. Thank you!
If the leaks are true, this is the FE version which is so large because the pentagon surrounding the fan on the right side has no PCB under it. The PCB only goes from the back plate up to the triangle cutout bordering the right pentagon. Because the PCB is so short, it had to be doubled sided and much taller. There will also reportedly be a traditionally shaped rectangular PCB reference design for AIB's which should work fine in SFF's.Dang that's a BIG card. RIP SFF gamers.
Ain't that the truth! And we haven't even seen Big Navi, yet! 😵Dang that's a BIG card. RIP SFF gamers.
I have yet to see a leak that predicts the 3090 will come with only 12GB. Every current leak says 24GB. The $200 price hike would suck, but if you actually need 24GB of RAM (ie, not gamers), $1400 is a pretty decent deal. What's the cheapest video card up until now that has 24GB RAM?The specifications for the GeForce RTX 3090 aren't clear yet, but we might be looking at a graphics card that could feature 5,376 to 7,552 CUDA cores and up to 12GB of GDDR6X memory.

The rear part of the card is likely a straight-through heatsink with some heatpipes, which should be far more effective at dissipating heat than blowing air at the PCB and PCIe slot. With a card likely going to draw over 300W based on Nvidia feeling compelled to come up with something beyond dual AUX8/150W for power, it'll need all the cooling efficiency it can get.Is that a fan on the front and the back? Is that some kind of push-pull wind chamber design?
No, it won't. PCI 3.0 8x doesn't bottleneck a 2080ti. Even dropping to 3.0 4x results in only single digit percentage loss.The big question I have in my mind is, will PCI-e 3.0 bottleneck its performance?
The RTX 3090 is actually the RTX 3080 ti, the equivalent of the RTX 2080 ti from the previous generation. They just changed the name. Hope the slower cards like the RTX 3080 and RTX 3070 won't need the 12 pin power supply or work with 8+8 pin or something. And also there will be shorter cumstom versions. The prices given are most likely for the Founder's Edition of each card which usually costs more. Actually, I would be happy if the RTX 3070 would sell for 600 dollars as that is the price for the FE vesion of RTX 2070 and also RTX 2080 FE also had a price tag of 800 dollars (799). That would mean no price increase for the rest of the cards. Although, more expensive than the SUPER lineup which cut off the initial price by 100 dollars.What I want to know is what about the 3090 Ti?!?!? Any info on that sheesh...
I wouldn't worry about that too much, there will be a billion adapters for it in due time and if you are going to plonk $1000+ on a GPU, an extra $25 won't break the bank. Also, unless Nvidia makes use of its cable mandatory in its AIB contracts, I suspect most AIBs will have 8-pins variants and some may even ignore Nvidia's connector altogether.Hope the slower cards like the RTX 3080 and RTX 3070 won't need the 12 pin power supply or work with 8+8 pin or something.
I would never buy such an expensive card anyway. That is why I said that I hope the lower models like RTX 3080 and RTX 3070 won't need so much power and will still need the normal 6+8 pin or 8+8 pin power supply connectors. 600-800 dollars is more in my price range. I own a 850W Seasonic power supply, which is very capable.I wouldn't worry about that too much, there will be a billion adapters for it in due time and if you are going to plonk $1000+ on a GPU, an extra $25 won't break the bank.

This connector is only expected to be seen on Nvidia Founders Edition cards. That said, I would expect to see it on every card that would require more than one power cable, which would definitely include the x80 card. I would also expect that the adapter will come in the box with any card from Nvidia that needs it.I would never buy such an expensive card anyway.

Probably not. The 3090 should be a tier above the 3080ti, which Nvidia will use as justification to charge more than they did for the 2080ti. We'll still probably see a 3080ti in next year's refresh the way Nvidia used to do it with Kepler, Maxwell and Pascal.The RTX 3090 is actually the RTX 3080 ti, the equivalent of the RTX 2080 ti from the previous generation.
Dang that's a BIG card. RIP SFF gamers.
Nah, you can cram a pair of high-end GPUs in ultra-compact air-cooled form factors too, you just need a full-custom PCB and HSF like what Apple had in its "trash can" Mac Pro.nah , water cooling is always the answer for SFF gaming plus high end cards.
Look how tiny the 3090 Strix looks compared to an ITX motherboard. I don't see any issues using this in a SFF system as is.nah , water cooling is always the answer for SFF gaming plus high end cards.
lol, no problem at all, should be right at home inside an ITX-sized caseLook how tiny the 3090 Strix looks compared to an ITX motherboard. I don't see any issues using this in a SFF system as is.
