The Nvidia GeForce RTX 4090 is a monster GPU in terms of performance, cost, and size. The flagship RTX 4000 might be too big for many PC cases given its unparalleled footprint, which may make you want to just cut it in half. Well, now you can get a feel for what it's going to look like because someone has done just that.
Before you (quite rightly) get upset about someone unnecessarily destroying what will likely be the best graphics card on the market, you'll be pleased to know that not a single RTX 4000 GPU die has been caught in the crossfire. .
In fact, Steve Gamers Nexus and Malcolm Gutenburg from Nvidia's thermal department just cut the cooler of the Founders Edition card. Why do you ask? For science, of course!
Their goal is to share information about the science behind modern graphics card cooling. Pretty much everything you could want to know about the RTX 4090's internals, including close-ups of the card's heatpipes, vapor chamber, and how it's evolved from its predecessor, the RTX 3090.
It's a truly fascinating look behind the scenes of Team Greens' latest and greatest releases if you're interested in diving into the nuts and bolts of what makes the Lovelace flagship tick.
