A Chinese social media user shared an image of what appears to be a production line full of Zotac GeForce RTX 4090 Amp Extreme ‘Airo’ graphics cards, while another image shows a stack of branded packaging sleeves. These are further clues that Nvidia will unveil his RTX 4090 at his GTC on September 20th, and the GPU seems poised to take the top spot in his GPU benchmark tier. I can see.
Baidu user Coco 218 I only commented that the design was “ugly”. We get more diplomatic and say they look very unique.The swooping curves suggest a more aerodynamic design. This makes sense if you’re looking at cars rather than perhaps one of the best graphics cards out there. Of course, we’ll have to wait and see how the design actually works before reaching any hard conclusions.
If these images are real, what you see here is the long-running Amp Extreme family of Zotac Gaming GeForce RTX 4090 graphics cards. Thankfully, the packaging photos are clear enough to identify details such as:
- This triple fan card comes with an IceStorm 3.0 cooler.
- Dual BIOS support for configuration flexibility
- Spectra 2.0 RGB lighting is present
- Freeze fan stop technology kicks in when the GPU is idling.
- Zotac’s Firestorm UI for tuning and overclocking
Sadly, the area of the carton that might outline the graphics card’s specs is too small to pinpoint any details. You can check out the Nvidia RTX 40 series and Ada GPU hubs to speculate further on what the actual specs are.
Turning to appearance issues, the purported Zotac GeForce RTX 4090 Amp Extreme has a rounded look that looks like a wind tunnel inspired design. From this angle, it’s pleasingly minimal. However, just by looking at the triple-slot bracket, the card could be even wider and extend into the four-slot area, so this is definitely a bulky beast.
The triple-slot card has a few key cutouts, with the final fan pushing air directly through a series of aluminum fins laced with heat pipes.The PCB is roughly the same length as a twin fan graphics card. It looks like The back of the GPU and its ICs are also left exposed by a cutout in the backplate. The power inputs are on the hidden side of the card, so we don’t know how many rumored high-density 16-pin power connector ports are installed. Overall, the backplate seemed a little over-engineered, which probably led to some negative social media comments.
Nvidia is widely expected to unveil the first Ada Lovelace architecture graphics cards that will make up this RTX 40 series at its GeForce Beyond event starting tomorrow (September 20th) and starting in a week. The RTX 4090 is likely to be a pioneering SKU, which is why we have seen such leaks and previous reports of Gigabyte RTX 4090 models appearing in the EEC database.
Nvidia’s next GPU series and architecture could be the biggest generational performance jump we’ve seen so far from Team Green. % to 100% improvement. A lot depends on the clock speed of the GPU, but so far there are no hard numbers. We should know more by next week.
