videocardz Alleged NVIDIA RTX 40 900W Cooler

The leaker says that this was a cooling design for 900W NVIDIA GPU. That’s of course a peak power, so the actual TDP could be much lower. The leaker has other photos, but only some of them were published. With the number of X-shaped frames made, one can assume that this is not a troll post, but a real quad-slot design that was considered at some point.

If Nvidia continues this power trend, you will soon need scaffolding inside the PC just to support the GPU. That is crazy!

This is the wrong way to go in my opinion and I hope that power hungry trend doesn't continue. My 3080 Ti already acts as a space heater during a gaming session. It's extremely noticeable and uncomfortable in the summer.

AMD's claiming double performance with RDNA3.

Nvidia:  "Hold my beer"

 

This is quite troubling for us enthusiasts.  I understand that we're at the limitations of current fab processes, but this is absolutely pants on head stupid.  Couldn't we perhaps look at something like still producing solid GPU's but maybe put the RTX stuff on separate RTX cards for people that want RT?  That's what the original plan was with PhysX, but fab processes allowed it to be integrated.  Clearly.........that's not the case today with RT.  It'd allow us to have better GPU's in current power envelopes, and it'd allow you to upgrade your RT performance independently from your GPU performance.

 

I like where AMD is going with their chiplet design way better than this.  Idk, just my own random thoughts on the subject.

Im not a fan of the "Let's just juice it up" mentality either. Yes I recognize that full throttle performance comes with cost with respect to power consumption but we are headed into my nuts territory. Soon you will need nothing short of AC in the office to help keep ambient temps down so you don't end up a sweaty mess. 

 

Granted my office is dinky but the temps my 3090 kicks out after a good gaming session... not good.  The back of the card is nothing but an egg cooking machine lol.

I'm actually kinda surprised we haven't seen egg cooking memes with 3090's like we did with GTX 480's back in the day with Nvidia "Thermi". By comparison the GTX 480 seems downright power efficient .

I can see it now, people who have utilities included are gonna have a clause in their lease prohibiting future generation Nvidia cards.
