ZOTAC RTX 4090 Graphics Card Pictured

The tentative day of announcement for NVIDIA's next-gen RTX 4000 series is fast approaching, with an expected announcement from NVIDIA through its GeForce Beyond broadcast, scheduled for September 20th at GTC. And with time running out until we see what NVIDIA has laid in store for us, photographs of ZOTAC'z iteration of the RTX 4090 are already leaking about - specifically in Baidu.

The photographs showcase a production run from ZOTAC's RTX 4090 cards, featuring a complete cooling and shroud redesign for NVIDIA's next-generation. Gone are the typical straight, boxy lines of any high-tier GPU; ZOTAC seems to be taking a more curvaceous approach to design this time, with more organic lines enveloping a more mundane heatsink. The card features ZOTAC's IceStorm 3.0 cooling solution, which houses a triple-fan, triple-slot design that extends more than a third of its area over the PCB itself. There's still no confirmation on board power and the GPU powering these cards themselves, but we have some very (very) educated guesses.

ZoneDymoLove gaming, power the win.

I mean yeah it not great but this will power your winning streaks (through high fps and settings) while playing those games you love.


On article, can anyone tell me why those 4 chips are exposed, same as last/current gen?
Like why not have them connected to the backplate with a thermalpad?
Not great? Powering wins? What? Austin Powers? Love = Mojo... wait I see it now, shit

Its poetry, because nothing less will suffice for top end product. They had a whole sweat shop going for the prize winning title.

ArcoThat's no GPU. It's a 360mm Radiator.
You know, it would be a cool idea to have a rad or res right below the gpu.

I can't wait to see Jensen come on stage and say how power efficient it is and requires only 1KW power supply.

Genuinely curious how much they saved by printing only partial C and G.

Why is the compression so incredible? The text on the gpus looks like it's being erased as they get further. Like it's just not even there.

Could be a leaked photo from one of the messaging apps, they usually destroy the file sizes once you send an image.

Hxx“Love gaming power the win “ wtf does that even mean? LoL
mind as well grab random words to plaster on that retail box “win rgb gaming love best”
That's the kind of bs you have to say after having sold most of the previous gen to miners.

Hi Zotac! We will not forget you! And BTW in five days it is the 2nd anniversary of my order for the RTX 3080 trinity at €699... I'm still waiting!

Because they're capacitors and they produce minimal heat, and for the heat from the die, unless the backplate covering them had a lot of fins, putting a flat piece of metal across that area would represent a significant reduction in surface area - all of those caps have 5 sides exposed to air, after all.

Guwapo77Sure is a lot of Nvidia leaks, where is the AMD 7900XT? :ohwell::ohwell::ohwell:
I am asking the same question. Maybe AMD decided to give up and hand the whole market over to nvidia and its new generation? Who knows? :D

You could very well be onto something here. I'm feeling a little nervous for Team Red at this point... However, if they are holding their cards close to their chest (no pun intended) and come out swinging like the ATi 9700 Pro days, we will be in for a treat.

ChomiqF#ck Zotac, they're probably sending them to miners just in case.
Mining is dead.

Better not let the Gov of California know how much power these things use.
They'll be banned. Or at least not let you use them during a heat wave while charging your EV.

ArcoBut pc go brr and numbers go higher!

Luckily I can use a wireless noise-suppressing headset.
Does that keep you cool too, or are you happy to sweat as you game next to your 700W space heater? :D
