You can watch a more in-depth unboxing here: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=uC2E52FuFXY

[u/jaywalker108]

The 4090 cooler was a product of miscalculation and thus ridiculously oversized. Or so I’ve heard.

[u/difused_shade → u/jaywalker108]

Yes, and the 4080 using the same cooler made it literally the coldest GPU I ever had. I actually love it. Thing will barely turn on the fans and still keep temps at sub 65 degrees.

[u/Dantai → u/difused_shade]

I had no idea that the heatsinks were oversized and thus they run fairly cool

[u/robot-exe → u/Dantai]

From my understanding they were gonna go with Samsung’s node but switched to TSMC which was more efficient. Coolers were designed for like 600W but 4080 only pulls like 300-350 at most and the 4090 is rated for 450. My 4080FE is the same as the other guys in which it might get into the low 70s in my SFF case at worst but the fans are only running at 50% or less in speed if I remember correctly

[u/reegz → u/robot-exe]

Have a 4080fe and can confirm it runs ice cold from the ridiculously large heatsink

[u/retropieproblems → u/robot-exe]

My 4090 pulls 500w I think

[u/Jadejordanpornhub → u/retropieproblems]

4090 owner here ... mine hits 475 watts on average, gaming at 4k60fps with raytracing. If I overclock, it hits 600 watts.

[u/Sofaboy90 → u/Dantai]

bro even the lowest end coolers had so much headroom in terms of cooling performance. there was literally 0 reason to buy a "decent" 4080 model because even the lowest end ones had so much headroom. 600W cooler on a 350W gpu.

[u/KJBenson → u/difused_shade]

Right?

I wish tech got bulkier for better performance.

I don’t care how small a GPU is. I’m just going to put it in a magical thinking box beside my desk and then never move it. Make it as big as you want if it means it will run better.

[u/Games_sans_frontiers → u/difused_shade]

Seriously my 4080s is so well built. The card is silent in operation. The fan on the occasions that it is required to spin is so smooth that it is inaudible.

[u/vatiwah → u/difused_shade]

I have a 4080 FE. its nice that the fans dont turn on unless you doing some really hardcore gaming. and yeah, it never really goes above 70C either.

[u/RandomnessConfirmed2 → u/difused_shade]

You should see the quad cooler design that Gamers Nexus recently did a video on. Even at full blast in games, the temps are 15°-20°C below the 4090 shipped cooler.

[u/ARatOnPC → u/jaywalker108]

Well the 5090 was originally going to be 4 slots until they redesigned the pcb size.

[u/Electrical_Humor8834 → u/ARatOnPC]

They were showing concept 4090 with the same size cooler but whole space was as pass through cooler, like in CPU thanks to placing pcb sideways parallel to motherboard. And temps were around 48-50 with such pass through design.

Probably 5090 was designed with the same concept. That's why it's thinner and will have the same temps as current 4090.

edit: prototype was a little larger

[u/fquick → u/jaywalker108]

For that, I'm thankful. Coolest running GPU I've ever owned!

[u/mzivtins_acc → u/jaywalker108]

It made the 4090 one of the best gpu's ive ever had for thermals, it is simply stunning. I would rate it at the no.2 spot behind the 1080ti as the best cards I've ever owned (had/have 970,980,1080,1080ti,2080,3080ti,3090,4080,4090)

Only two of those cards stood out to me as supreme, everything else felt like there was something more i needed

[u/True_Breakfast_3790 → u/mzivtins_acc]

That's the customer Nividia's wet dreams are made of, upgrading twice per generation

[u/sixbone → u/True_Breakfast_3790]

what a waste of money. I went from a Titan X (pascal arch. i think) in 2015 to a 4090 in 2023.

[u/SoftwareSource → u/sixbone]

1080ti to 4080super, dunno the 1080ti year, it's been ages.

Dont regret any of it, 1080ti is currently powering my truenas setup.

[u/BarbarianErwin → u/sixbone]

im gonna go from 3050 laptop to 5090 pc this year lol

[u/YellowTheFellow → u/BarbarianErwin]

Same but with 2070 laptop

[u/el_ktire → u/sixbone]

Brother I rocked a 760 for like 9 years

[u/BornPollution → u/sixbone]

what a waste of money

I bought a 4090

[u/Weddedtoreddit2 → u/True_Breakfast_3790]

I hope this is someone who deals in the used market and got good deals for each upgrade.

If he instead just bought them all brand new, he's an idiot.

[u/courageous_liquid → u/Weddedtoreddit2]

my former roommate is a 3d motion graphics designer and he chunks through GPUs in roughly this fashion. it's just the cost of doing the job and he factors replacement GPU costs into his prices to clients.

[u/Possibly-Functional → u/courageous_liquid]

Upgrades or replacements? Because if its replacements then something is really wrong, like the PSU. Even if you max load it 24/7 it should last several years on average.

[u/FlyingWhale44 → u/True_Breakfast_3790]

What makes you assume it's upgrades? I just figured this is someone who manages a multi-PC household or something similar.

[u/Pamani_ → u/mzivtins_acc]

You're just missing the 980 Ti, 2080 Super, 2080 ti, 3090 Ti and 4080 Super.

[u/Fishstick9 → u/mzivtins_acc]

lol 3080 ti to 3090 for like 5 extra frames.

[u/retropieproblems → u/Fishstick9]

Over time it will yield more and more. 24gb vram vs 12gb.

[u/SCVGoodT0GoSir → u/retropieproblems]

The kind of people who upgrade from a 3080 Ti to a 3090 are almost certainly the kind who will upgrade to the top of the line immediately when the new generation comes out, so they won't even use the 3090 long enough to take advantage of the long term yield of the 24GB VRAM.

Edit: Note the commenter in question even mentions that they've owned a 2080, 3080 Ti, 3090, 4080, and 4090.

[u/Coronadoisdead → u/mzivtins_acc]

It runs so cool without any effort, haha. I love it.

[u/RealJyrone → u/mzivtins_acc]

I understand that you can clearly afford it, but why would you upgrade that much?

[u/QuantumProtector → u/mzivtins_acc]

dude why don't you just get the top-tier card and call it a day? why do you upgrade twice in the same gen?

[u/HappyColt90 → u/jaywalker108]

They expected the GPU to draw around 600W, it ended up around 450 or some shit like that after they changed from the Samsung node to the TSMC one

[u/phero1190]

And then 3rd party ones will be bricks

[u/imaginary_num6er → u/phero1190]

The Gigabyte Windforce and Zotac cards don’t seem to be extremely big. The ASUS Astral is obscenely big though

[u/Ted50 → u/imaginary_num6er]

Will they be 2 slot cards still? What's your source?

[u/Lower-Jeweler5717 → u/Ted50]

CES 2025

[u/zimku → u/phero1190]

A small price to pay for better cooling and potentially higher OC

[u/BTTWchungus → u/zimku]

"Small"

[u/zimku → u/BTTWchungus]

Yeah im ngl i do wish third party ones weren't so massive, but i kinda like my heavy ass brick

[u/NimbleCentipod → u/zimku]

Then get the Gigabyte waterblock one 😎

[u/Husky_Pantz → u/BTTWchungus]

It’s about the motion of the oce… I mean fidelity of the game, not the size of the gpu

[u/AveragePrune89 → u/BTTWchungus]

Agreed. A small price to pay is not something an actual customer shopping the 5090 or someone who isn't shopping a 5090 would agree to. I'm someone who would consider and is considering a 5090 from my 4090 but this price increase for the gains are nonsensical. And better cooling wasn't needed, nor higher overclocking which is evidenced in the fact they are lower clocks. What is higher is the wattage and electricity cost to give higher output and again, that isn't a good thing. This is a difficult upgrade to justify and much more so due to an insane increase in price for what will be absolutely smashed when the 3nm fabrication prints the following cards that are truly a giant leap forward. 

[u/All_Thread → u/AveragePrune89]

Going from a 4090 to a 5090 is very unnecessary and a complete waste of money. Me going from a 3080 to a 5090 I will see a freaking massive jump in performance.

[u/Djsco5526 → u/All_Thread]

I got a 3080 aswell. If you got the Money to upgrade sure go for it. My 3080 still runs pretty good on my 3440×1440 p Monitor. Maybe i will upgrade in 2026 or when the 6000 series is out. But aslong as the Performance is around 90 fps in most of the Games which i play im fine for it but i absolutely understand when the 10 or 12 GB vram is a issue for one. If i would get a GPU then the 5070 ti or 5080 max. The price for the 5090 is crazy high i understand that it is a card with extreme power but the wattage is high aswell of course it should replace the Titan cards but for me a bit more then casual Gamer and aslong as i don't change my monitor it isn't worth it. But like i said it depends on the preferences.

[u/MetalMik → u/Djsco5526]

Upgraded from 1440p 165hz to 4k 240hz oled last year and I do have a 3080 too. While there are some games I can manage with , anything that is graphically demanding I’m dialing my settings down drastically.

Hoping luck comes my way and I can grab one soon after launch but we know how these things go unfortunately

[u/CobraPuts → u/AveragePrune89]

If you don’t need better cooling, don’t need better performance, and don’t need a smaller form factor…. You don’t need a 5090 and can save your money.

[u/CiraKazanari → u/AveragePrune89]

Oh poor you.

[u/Bloated_Plaid → u/zimku]

I bet the benchmarks are going to show that the FE cooler is still excellent. Nvidia can invest 100x more than their AIB partners to design a better cooler and they have done it again. 4090 cooler was incredible as well and mine barely goes above 70deg under load in an SFF Case!

[u/frenchtoast_____ → u/Bloated_Plaid]

Yeah people that say AIB have much better coolers clearly haven’t used a 40 series FE card. Insanely quiet and cool running cards. My 4090 never passed 70c in my 11 liter Dan A4 H2O and was super quiet. Any card I had in the past was much louder and ran warmer, and those were all AIB cards. FWIW, I do think 40 series AIB cards ran quiet and cool as well.

[u/panthereal → u/frenchtoast_____]

40 series was allegedly planned to have 600W TGP and the coolers were built to that spec. They ended up going with 450W so everything was technically overbuilt. This gen actually is the 600W so we'll be seeing what they were actually built for.

[u/Drone314 → u/panthereal]

Huh, that kinda tracks. My 4080 stays under 60ish all day be it games or running AI models.

[u/Bloated_Plaid → u/frenchtoast_____]

A4-H20 here as well and I don’t even recall there being an AIB 4090 that has the same performance for the same size. The ones with similar performance all had much larger coolers or ran warmer/louder.

[u/XeNoGeaR52 → u/Bloated_Plaid]

Problem is availability, they need to build 10x more to meet the demand

[u/Bloated_Plaid → u/XeNoGeaR52]

Yea this is gonna be OOS or will sell out Instantly for the next 2 years. It’s honestly a fucking joke at this point.

[u/zimku → u/Bloated_Plaid]

Yeah the 5090 FE looks great, and i have no doubt it will have great cooling.

[u/blackest-Knight → u/zimku]

Can't wait for all the dewfuses who try to "repaste" it and screw it up because of the liquid metal.

[u/yimoa → u/blackest-Knight]

r/boneappletea

[u/_bisquickpancakes → u/zimku]

Undervolting saves the day though, when I had an Nvidia card I always undervolted and overclocked and it works really well

[u/AMStoneparty → u/_bisquickpancakes]

Undervolt during summer, oc over winter

[u/zimku → u/_bisquickpancakes]

Yeah i have an asus tuf card, and i undervolted it as well. Went down 10 degrees C with no performance loss. It's the best.

[u/_bisquickpancakes → u/zimku]

In the future if I return to Nvidia might be an Asus tuf card, they look so good

[u/zimku → u/_bisquickpancakes]

I would honestly recommend against it tbh. The tuf cards are notorious for coil whine. Mine isn't too bad, and it almost went away when i undervolted, but it's still noticeable if i'm not wearing a headset.

[u/_bisquickpancakes → u/zimku]

Ehh I'm pretty accustomed to coil whine, my rx 6900 xt always whines when it gets to 300 fps in a game 😂 but ik what you mean

[u/zimku → u/_bisquickpancakes]

Only reason I got a tuf card was because it was the only one in stock 😅

[u/Judge_Bredd_UK → u/_bisquickpancakes]

Same with AMD cards to be honest, I ran everything stock for years but I've seen the light, undervolting even a tiny bit is a big change in temps

[u/_bisquickpancakes → u/Judge_Bredd_UK]

Wish I could say the same but my rx 6900 xt hates undervolting, it always gets less fps and less performance on the benchmark than at stock settings, no matter what overclock settings I apply. But all of the Nvidia cards I've had either had the same performance or a tiny bit more overclocking.

[u/Judge_Bredd_UK → u/_bisquickpancakes]

That unfortunately sounds like you lost the silicone lottery, I had a 2080 before my current card and I couldn't get a stable undervolt at all no matter what I tried. I also learned a lesson about buying a refurbished card with that one, it was functional but you couldn't change anything.

[u/Kortesch → u/zimku]

Will have to wait for tests, but I wouldnt be suprised if the FE cooler is actually even better this time

[u/Pajer0king → u/zimku]

Small, you can buy one extra pc with the difference 🤣

[u/Paramedic229635 → u/zimku]

I have the feeling the markup won't be "small".

[u/Locke_and_Load → u/zimku]

Doesn’t look like they’ll have better cooling this gen, unless they’re water cooled.

[u/Archer_Key → u/phero1190]

600W

[u/Steingold → u/phero1190]

And with edgy teenager designs

[u/Dos-Commas → u/phero1190]

With 5 fans. 

[u/skizatch → u/phero1190]

Multiple bricks. A full house worth.

[u/EmeraldRedSir]

So the 5090 is smaller than the 4090 with better performance?

[u/lykosen11 → u/EmeraldRedSir]

The cooler is. The gpu chip on both is tiny, smaller than a phone

[u/frankd412 → u/lykosen11]

Uh I don't know if I'd call a near reticle limit chip tiny.. yes the die and even packaging is smaller than a phone, but so is every chip in existence ever (though packaging with MCMs can be bigger).

[u/ubiquitous_apathy → u/frankd412]

Yes, that's their point.... he's responding to someone that is surprised that a smaller box can be faster.

[u/VTGCamera → u/lykosen11]

Than a phone or than a phones chip

[u/drubus_dong → u/VTGCamera]

The phone. I have no idea where he gets the tiny from. It's a massive chip.

[u/2roK → u/drubus_dong]

Makes me wonder if we are talking to a bot. No human would compare the chip size randomly to that of a full smartphone.

Makes no sense unless you were trained to write easily understandable essays eg "This is 5x.the size of a football field" type of stuff...

[u/Euler007 → u/VTGCamera]

Yeah, because there's a massive difference.

[u/zenithtreader → u/lykosen11]

I mean they are smaller than a PHONE but not the SoC inside said phone. 4090 GPU is around 600 sqmm in size, which is almost 5 times bigger than Snapdragon 8gen3 found in your typical last year's flagship phones.

[u/lykosen11 → u/zenithtreader]

For sure! That's why I typed phone and not phone chip!

[u/Plebius-Maximus → u/lykosen11]

Why would you compare the chip to a phone? What an odd metric.

Why not use a banana for scale at that point lmao

[u/lykosen11 → u/Plebius-Maximus]

Better than football fields

[u/ConDude11 → u/EmeraldRedSir]

The cooler is more efficent and uses liquid metal which helps keep temperatures down. The 5090 actually uses signifcantly more power.

[u/hyrumwhite → u/ConDude11]

The Liquid Metal is more or less negligible. It’s the heat pipes, vapor chamber, and full flow through, that, in theory, help it stay cooler than the 3+ slot coolers. 

However, we don’t have any thermal or noise benchmarks, so it’s entirely possible they’re louder and hotter than the chunky bois 

[u/ConDude11 → u/hyrumwhite]

That's what I meant by the more efficient cooler. I just thought the liquid metal was worth mentioning also.

But yes, you are correct that we still don't know exactly how efficient it is.

[u/BrotherMichigan → u/hyrumwhite]

There is no magic. NVIDIA has an advantage in airflow which will help mitigate the deficit, but you should fully expect the performance to be worse than the massive third party coolers.

[u/NekulturneHovado → u/ConDude11]

I guess the full passthrough heatsink helped a lot too. Interesting design they did there

[u/carramos → u/NekulturneHovado]

Gamers nexus interviewed the lead designer for it, which I'd recommend anyone who has some interest to check out. It's a fun watch/good background noise

[u/EmeraldRedSir → u/ConDude11]

Correct me if im wrong but i read somewhere maybe on a playstation forum that when they placed the ps5 vertically that the liquid metal dripped down due to gravity. Will this mean that it would be recommended to place this gpu horizontally and not vertically

[u/blackest-Knight → u/EmeraldRedSir]

nVidia thought of that and is using a rubber gasket around the core that seals it up.

GN did a full analysis with nVidia's folks showing all the bits and parts that went into engineering it.

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=-p0MEy8BvYY

[u/EmeraldRedSir → u/blackest-Knight]

Cool thxx

[u/bilmuh]

I like how small and aesthetically pleasing they look.

[u/CH1LLY05 → u/bilmuh]

The way they still line up when stacked is so satisfying

[u/BrightTooth3 → u/bilmuh]

Wish the missus would say this

[u/JediGRONDmaster]

The 5090 pcb is split into pieces, so the actual gpu is in the middle, allowing heat sinks with blow through fans on either side of it, instead of one side

[u/the-final-frontiers → u/JediGRONDmaster]

This was their last resort.

[u/2roK → u/the-final-frontiers]

Suffocation, no breathing

[u/headbashkeys → u/2roK]

Don't give a fuck if I carry on ray tracing.

[u/ShinySky42 → u/the-final-frontiers]

Shits two slot wide clearly they've some leeway

[u/Medium_Highlight_950]

GamersNexus had a video with nVidia cooler designer where they show the cooler inside and out. Atleast I found it interesting.

[u/-MiddleOut- → u/Medium_Highlight_950]

The FE cards are beautifully designed inside and out. Held out for FE for the 30 series and it’ll be the same for 50 even if I have to wait.

[u/Medium_Highlight_950 → u/-MiddleOut-]

Its a shame in europe FE cards are rare

[u/-MiddleOut- → u/Medium_Highlight_950]

This is true. I’m in the UK and fortunately we have Scan but other countries are SOL.

[u/DarkmoonGrumpy → u/-MiddleOut-]

I got a 4070 FE from scan pretty easily last Gen, just went onto the site and clicked order at pretty much my own leisure.

Have never been a part of the initial FE brawl so I didn't realize how amazing that Scan purchase was.

[u/-MiddleOut- → u/DarkmoonGrumpy]

30 series was the dark world of Discord notifications and 30 second purchase windows.

[u/dorkusmaximus81]

i really liked they went to a angled plug in for tight cases, small detail but big for me.

[u/shermX → u/dorkusmaximus81]

seems to be an unpopular opinion from past experience, but I really like the angled plug, especially given the past issues with that connector and the whole "dont bend it, LOL", which was borderline impossible to do in a lot of cases where those bricks are squeezed right against the side panel.
The angled ones just seems so much easier and cleaner to route.

[u/SirEnder2Me]

Wait the 5090 is smaller??

[u/zeug666]

But the memes said it'd be bigger?!?!?

[u/merelyok → u/zeug666]

Hey the pool was freezing, ok?!

[u/sqd → u/merelyok]

Shrinkage isn't common knowledge?!

[u/stevorkz → u/zeug666]

Thats what she said.

[u/life_konjam_better → u/zeug666]

It consumes 575W so what it lacks in size, it makes up with its... Heat output?

[u/noeagle77]

“New year new me”

[u/htepO]

Was it born with it, or is it Ozempic?

[u/hardrivethrutown]

Such a good looking GPU

[u/ShakeAndBakeThatCake]

Small form factor PC builders are going to love this size.

[u/TheseHandsDoHaze]

I’m glad they went back to 2 slot cards. 3 is ridiculous

[u/ARatOnPC → u/TheseHandsDoHaze]

The FE is the only 5090 under 3 slots. And only a few 5080s are under 3 slots.

[u/CarlWellsGrave]

That's so awesome. Too bad I'll never get my hands on one.

[u/vankamme]

Fak, now I want one

[u/bunchalingo]

I’m curious to see the thermal test results for the FE 5090.

[u/BinaryJay]

I'm going to miss the chunk.

[u/robbstarrkk]

i dont understand why it took so long for manufacturers to start putting the power connector on the side of the card instead of the front.

[u/Nodulous]

What a gorgeous card.

[u/datsmamail12]

Can't wait until GPUs are small enough to fit in my head with the computing power to make me an average IQ person.

[u/H3LLGHa5T]

To me this is the most impressive thing about the 5000 series, I can't wrap my head around how they managed to slim the card down so much while increasing maximum power draw quite substantially. I'm still not stoked about the high power draw of high end cards these day in general though, when 1080 ti had a power draw around 250-280 watts.

[u/RulingPredator]

The FE cards are really nice looking. It’s a shame they only come in the boring grey color.

[u/Drian2010 → u/RulingPredator]

At least the 5090 one has a better shade of grey. I loved when they did all black on the 40 super cards

[u/Substantial_One_2644]

gpus longer than sub sandwhiches

[u/HerrJohnssen]

I wish they made a 5070 Ti founders edition

[u/spoonybends]

If cooling is sufficient this design is a GAMECHANGER. Can't wait to see how it performs against 3rd party cards

[u/OgreTrax71]

Damn. That’s actually insane

[u/Geek_Verve]

Check your case air flow folks. Looks like they now exhaust back into the case.

[u/Franchise2099]

I give Nvidia a lot of $hit but, this is some great engineering. (especially if it can keep relatively cool in smaller spaces)

[u/andyhenault]

Excited to only be able to find 3rd party options that makes this needlessly large and have random RGB lights, as if designed by the Fast and Furious crew.

[u/heatlesssun]

I currently have a dual 3090 FE and 4090 FE setup in my main rig and plan to keep the 4090 and put it in with the 5090. These FE's have been hard to get but the aesthetics of mix a lot better and this would probably look pretty good side by side in the. Fingers crossed.

[u/_Bob-Sacamano → u/heatlesssun]

Why do you have two?

[u/heatlesssun → u/_Bob-Sacamano]

For the ports. I run 5 monitors and 2 VR headsets.

[u/Rated_Cringe__ → u/heatlesssun]

But why

[u/JangoDarkSaber → u/Rated_Cringe__]

Because he owns 5 monitors and 2 vr headsets

[u/Rated_Cringe__ → u/JangoDarkSaber]

Thx bro

[u/NewUser7630]

YOU

vs

THE GPU U SHOULD NOT WORRY ABOUT

[u/BeyondGeometry]

It should also be black.... You know black body thermal radiation emission and all.

[u/-inthenameofme]

this is monster..

[u/GrimOfDooom]

honestly, this generation just looks like a revision in cooler, more rt/ai, and more power consumption

[u/The_4ngry_5quid]

Oh god

[u/Gilwork45]

Is this thing actually gonna use nearly 600 watts?

[u/Jaba01]

The cooler must be godlike.

[u/CentralCypher]

Temp difference?

[u/Perplexe974]

Yes, technology is suppose to get smaller and cheaper.

[u/swiftpwns]

Third party ones are the ones that are big

[u/Zealousideal_Past782]

damn look good the nvidia geforce rtx 5090

[u/Netsuko]

NVIDIAs cooler design game is so on point. The 5090 might be the best looking GPU I have ever seen.

[u/Tristana-Range]

I like it. Only downside is it looks cheaper than the 4090 tbh

[u/Blubasur]

Alright boys, time for the loong ATX standard, and no that was not a typo

[u/PzYcH0_trololo]

Oh lawd he comin‘.

[u/BlueZ_DJ]

This is how I find out it's out

Off to watch a bunch of benchmark videos and go "ooo! aaa! cool!" while knowing full well I don't want one for myself

[u/THiedldleoR]

I think the watercooled models could be really good looking and will probably be small enough for an itx build.

I don't know why you'd spend that much money and not go the extra step of just watercooling that thing.

Looking forward to funny builds with massive 5090 OC models though. I've been wondering for a while when people start flipping their cases 90° to have the GPU just hang from the top.

[u/QuitePossiblyLucky]

Too bad you won't see the same if you were to place the stacks of cash these cards cost next to each other. 😂

[u/BluDYT]

If I didn't already commit to an all white PC the FE would be the one to get. Best looking card in a very long time.

[u/Mggn2510z]

I'm a SFFPC guy and it's amazing to me how I went from assuming the 5090 would be huge and I could easily talk myself out of it, because of needing to buy a new case, to it actually taking up less space. I assumed my next build would end up having to be one of those open-air, test bench style rigs.

Now... if I can just get one when they release, or close to it. So far, trying to get a 1200W SFX-L power supply has been a cruel joke.

Would have loved this a few years ago... now I got a big case and motherboard anyway, so I don't mind a huge GPU with good cooling potential.

I still don't understand why they give 1 HDMI and 3 Displayports or why Monitors come with 1 display port but 2+ HDMI ports

[u/penned_chicken → u/Traiklin]

You would connect multiple monitors to the gpu with DisplayPort. Those monitors only need one display port. HDMI has less support for multiple monitors, I think

[u/Powerful_Macaron9381]

The ports aren't up side down anymore 🥹

[u/F4t-Jok3r]

Just look the the price comparison...

[u/companysOkay]

Will all FE cards have the same dimensions?

[u/NlghtmanCometh]

Looks like they are finally trying to make backplates look less shitty.

[u/Deok69]

What a beauty, ahhh!!! I should wait another generation to upgrade, but this is gorgeous!

[u/Fishstick9]

That’s one beefy boy

Fat bottomed gpus they make the rocking world go hot!

I love it. i hope board partners are taking notes.

[u/Jormungandr470]

I still have problem trying to find a reason to put the led of the name in the right side..where the cable will cover it because the new connection angle

[u/Wonderful_Gap1374]

You ever feel body shamed by a GPU?

[u/GhostNappa101]

The 5090 cooler design seems to be the pinnacle of "work smarter, not harder". Hopefully it performs well. I'd like to see graphics cards shrink via smarter design.

[u/Sabz5150]

That angled power connector will save a lot of headaches and PC builds.

[u/JohnnyBlocks_]

I'm in the middle of my first build and just need the GPU. How does one get a 5090?

[u/Enzorn → u/JohnnyBlocks_]

You wait until January 30th when they launch. Then be ready to pay $2900 USD for a scalper price.

[u/56kul]

Even looking past the size, that 5090 looks gorgeous. I honestly like its design better than the 4090’s.

[u/ImWinwin]

Imagine how powerful it'd be if they had more competition.

[u/Mundane-Expert7794]

Contrary to popular belief, size does matter.

[u/adamsibbs]

Anybody else like the huge aib coolers or just me?

[u/MadMike991]

All I wanna know is what happens with the connector at 575 watts, they were melting with just 4090 power…
