GIGABYTE GeForce RTX 4090 Gaming OC Box Leaked

NVIDIA has a leaky tap to fix with the part of the supply chain that makes retail boxes for its next-gen graphics cards. After last weekend's leak of the ZOTAC RTX 4090, we now have one of the GIGABYTE RTX 4090 Gaming OC. It confirms the new typeface NVIDIA is using for the main branding of its RTX 40-series. The card itself features a mammoth triple-slot (possibly even quad-slot) cooling solution that's almost 1.5x what constitutes "full-height" for add-on cards. The box art also confirms 24 GB GDDR6X as the memory configuration of the RTX 4090. NVIDIA is expected to unveil the RTX 40-series next week at GTC; with retail availability from early-Q4 2022.

So far both Zotac and Gigabyte have revealed very chunky coolers for the RTX 4090. Ones that will put the coolers on current RTX 3090 Ti to shame. Looks like higher power limit than the RTX 3090 Ti is expected.

Why do you think smartphones in 2005 had cameras? The only smartphone precursors during that time were Nokia 9000 series.

It is any phone with a dirty lens and careless user.

Wiki:
In 2003, more camera phones were sold worldwide than stand-alone digital cameras largely due to growth in Japan and Korea.[103] In 2005, Nokia became the world's most sold digital camera brand.

Edit: unless you were picking on "smartphone", which is extremely fluid term, depending on whether you mean connectivity, screen, interface or other features; or depending on (some) users doing "smart" things with one - so maybe early 2000s.

Leave the lectures aside. I am doing warranty service for those before 2005 including Nokia, so keep your statistics down kid.

Is it possible that Nvidia launches only RTX 4090 at first, we're mostly seeing leaks on this card?

If they price it really high (like 2500$) gamers who are waiting for lower end Ada cards will perhaps give up on idea that the new generation will bring price / performance increase, and start looking at available Ampere cards? Which Nvidia has to sell, and there is reported still a large stock of even high end Ampere cards.

Later on Nvidia could of course lower the price, as we have seen now - almost halving the price of RTX 3090 Ti. And launch the generation at more normal prices (still up for inflation / higher material costs / disrupted channels...).

When did nvidia itself lower the price actually? Not the Retail seller?

The first undeniably (smart)phone video on my phone is kept from early 2005, in all its glorious 176x144 resolution and with even more glorious compression artifacts.

I am amazed that the person who took these did not flip open the open box.

This is how these things usually leak, Gigabyte orders boxes from a cardboard company and not every employee there cares or even gets to sign an NDA.

BwazeIn EU they actually followed it:

RTX 3090 Ti at Geizhals.eu
Germany ain't the whole EU. There are serious downsides ordering such things outside your country, including buyers rights and RMA issues, as I work in RMA field I see it all the time, the ones that start the toying are OEM partners itself.

Not the first time you read news about prices etc but in reality it is like reading scifi as real street price around you differs a lot.

I'm not in Germany either. And sometimes (rarely) that's a good thing - back in late 2020, early 2021 when the cryptocraze started again you could buy RTX 3080 in Slovenia for 950 - 1000 EUR when in Austria and Germany it already skyrocketed to 1500+ EUR. For a while.

buyers rights covers the all EU, you can make a crossborder complain just as you do in your country, and RMA also has common rules, no shipping costs, 30 days. Just use trusted stores, the country is irrelevant.
I buy more stuff from outside my country then in my country, never had any issues.

But it is getting complicated. EU "Common market" was never meant for end buyer, and this shows more and more.

There are now far fewer stores that sell internationally that there were 10 years ago. Some go even so far they prohibit resending their merchandise outside of their country.

There are always more possible complications when claiming warranty, returning item or RMA if you're in a different country than the store.

i live in a small country, we always have shittier prices as economies of scale don't really apply to our stores. I find lots of stores that send everything to my country in tech and my other hobby, never had any issue there and every year more and more have even better shipping costs to my country. Just this week i bought a 20€ item for my bike and it was cheaper, with shipping, then in the stores in my city.

A local store can also be an ass and make your life hard, complaining isn't much different in both cases. RMA i never had any issues. my last 4 gpu's all came from other countries, 2 had issues, one i got a refund the other a new one in less then the 30 days, no issues. Most of this online stores survive on good feedback and online reviews, they don't want any problems. I'm also not a pain in the ass, hardly ever send shit back in the 14 days, buy a lot.

Lowering prices? Heh sure. First they ramp the prices of lower products like 3090/3080 and then suddenly they have lowered the price for 3090Ti to $1600. Come on guys open your eyes. After 2 years the prices are still high for NV cards even though they are at MSRP or slightly lower. MSRP itself was a robbery in a broad daylight.
