NVIDIA GeForce RTX 4090 Ti and RTX 4090 graphics cards represent a 3-slot Founders Edition cooler for next-gen BFGPUs

Supposed renders of NVIDIA’s next-generation ‘Ada Lovelace’ BFGPUs, the GeForce RTX 4090 Ti and RTX 4090 have been revealed by Moore’s law is dead. The renders show the updated Founders Edition coolers that will be used by the flagship AD102 GPUs.

Alleged NVIDIA GeForce RTX 4090 Ti and RTX 4090 Graphics Card Renders Point to 3-Slot BFGPU Coolers

The NVIDIA GeForce RTX 4090 Ti graphics card cooler was supposedly leaked a long time ago. The very convincing photos possibly gave us a first look at the updated but similar Founders Edition coolers that would be used by the next-gen BFGPUs with Ada Lovelace. Now MLID has a new set of renders for the same AD102 cards at various angles. The renders were made using information that the informant gathered through his sources.

So starting with the details, NVIDIA’s GeForce RTX 4090 Ti and RTX 4090 will be incredibly power-hungry designs with TGP ratings of 450 to 600W. Based on previous leaks and recent rumors from kopite7kimiHowever, it appears that the GeForce RTX 40 series will use similar coolers as the existing RTX 30 series uses, but with some internal changes. The FE cooler for RTX 4090 Ti and RTX 4090 is said to have between 3 or 3.5 slots and will have more fins and more heatsink surface area. Will that be enough to keep next-gen GPUs in check?

It is not necessary now.
RTX 4090 looks like an RTX 3090 Ti, RTX 4080 does too.
RTX 4070 looks like an RTX 3070 Ti.

Well, you can see the existing Founders Edition cooler for the RTX 3090 and RTX 3090 Ti graphics cards. Both share the same cooler even though the latter increases TGP figures by almost 30% (350W vs. 450W). Despite that, the same cooler managed to keep the 3090 Ti running cooler and hitting its clock targets without needing to change the heatsink design or fan speeds on the card itself. So if the existing Founders Edition design can handle 450W TGP cards easily, then an updated version with more surface area in a slightly thicker package would surely suffice for cards up to 600 Watt.

NVIDIA GeForce RTX 4090, RTX 4080, RTX 4070 Specifications updated again: AD102 GPU with 16384 cores, AD103 with 10240 cores and AD104 with 7168 cores

Other things on the card, like the dual-flow fan design, will remain the same, while the logos on the shroud will light up with LED lighting. One thing’s for sure, you’d need plenty of chassis space to accommodate these next-gen BFGPUs, like the NVIDIA GeForce RTX 4090 Ti and RTX 4090. Additionally, you’d also need to invest in a very solid power supply rated at least 1200W ( or higher). The next-gen GeForce RTX 40 flagship is expected to launch in October with the rest of the lineup following in the coming months. You can find more information about the cards here.
