Hello, my tech-savvy friends! It’s your favorite funny guy, Nuked, here to tickle your funny bone while we dive into the world of graphics cards. Buckle up, because we’re about to explore Nvidia’s latest and greatest!
Nvidia has recently released a fascinating video that takes us on a journey through the evolution of its Founders Edition graphics card designs. This time, they’re shining a spotlight on the RTX 5090 and confirming the existence of an intriguing prototype that sports a rather hefty four-slot design.
According to VideoCardz, this prototype, dubbed the “Titan ADA,” was initially leaked by the well-known leaker Kopite7kimi. Earlier this month, the folks over at Gamers Nexus had a chance to test and dismantle a working version of this beastly card. Talk about getting up close and personal!
In the newly released video, Andrew Bell, Nvidia’s EVP of system products, shares insights about how their graphics cards have been growing in size over time. He mentioned that they weren’t too fond of the idea of a four-slot card: “It was big, it was unwieldy, it worked in a limited number of chassis,” he said. And who could blame them? We don’t want our GPUs taking over our entire PC cases!
Bell also pointed out that the triple-fan cooling system from the prototype played a significant role in shaping Nvidia’s Blackwell architecture. However, the current RTX 5090 Founders Edition has taken a different route. It boasts a clever modular four-part design paired with a separate I/O board that enhances airflow for better cooling efficiency—all while managing to fit snugly into just two slots on your motherboard. That’s what I call smart engineering!
So there you have it! Nvidia is on a mission to keep our graphics cards powerful yet manageable in size. Stay tuned for more tech updates and remember: whether it’s GPUs or giggles, I’ve got you covered!
