News Zotac Creates the First Quad-Slot RTX 3090 Ti Graphics Card

[Admin]

Zotac's new RTX 3090 Ti PGF OC is one of the largest 30-series card's we've ever seen, measuring in at a solid four PCIe slots in thickness — but still with a dual-slot IO bracket.

WOW, I hope this is not a sign for the 4000 series. ITX owners are going to have hard time with a card this big.

Four slots and 450+ watts seems a little excessive, especially when the majority of industries are trying to reduce their carbon emissions footprint.

How long until we get hepta-slot GPUs?

At least give us x24 and x32 length PCI-E if these cards are going to keep getting bigger!

Gigantic piece, why for though?

Horrible!

If this is the trend for everything in GPUs to get higher and bigger, I'll probably stop upgrading my PC very soon and forever. For sure if this affects middle tiers too.

Higher prices, higher power consumption, higher heat, gigantic GPUs... where will it stop? It's getting ridiculous.

ITX users will generally not be able to use a 4 slots card with most existing small casing. Not only that, the 450 to 500W of heat dumped into the case is not tenable. For me, it is the heat output that is going to be the main issue. As it stands now, the 340W that my GPU uses is not just heating up the inside of the PC case rapidly, but also the room slowly where the PC is situated. I’ve recorded room temp increase by about 1 degree celcius after about 30 mins of gaming. While that don’t sound a lot, but the difference in temp is noticeable. Casing wise, you can easily change to a bigger one.

Need to factor in the cost new case when purchasing this card just to install it.

Well, say what you will about the massive girth required for the 3090Ti with air cooling, I will say that the design seems to be well thought out.

EXCEPT that I'm always puzzled when they use vertical fins instead of horizontal . . I would think the latter would help partially evacuate the heat from the case.

Why is everyone worked up on this? It's Zotac...they aren't the most focused compared to the ones that are global. If this was done by Asus or Gigabyte, then I'd be concerned.

But like I said before...no one will buy this one except for large content creators like Linus.

WOW, I hope this is not a sign for the 4000 series. ITX owners are going to have hard time with a card this big..

Why would they ever want this if their motherboard was not intended for this?

I mean...would they ever go for a GTX 1060 board that's too big of a card without it's itx counter type?
