MSI makes a RTX 3090 look like a GTX480

Who does rear facing plugs anymore? Also it’s clearly a computer rendering.  I’m not putting any store in this one.

I'd actually like rear plugs. The build would look so much cleaner than cables coming from the side. Would complicate airflow passthroughs used on RTX 3080/3090 cards, but could still be done.

 

I wonder why no one tried a 3 slot blower design. Would extra mass of fins really not help that no one tried it or is there something else. Coz if it worked well, I can see a lot of people picking it as it would blow all the hot air out of the case.

Looks pretty cool but not something I'd specifically look to buy

Maybe they will do the same for some other cheaper cards, the RTX 3090 is way out of many peoples budget for a full PC, not just a GPU

My memory is blower cards have sold poorly because they are louder.  They are needed by some designs though

3 slot blowers is an interesting idea. often the big struggle with blowers is not enough fins+ vents so that could work okay
