PNY showcased some of the best graphics cards at Computex 2023. Manufacturers have also brought in some workstation graphics cards such as the RTX 6000 Ada Generation and RTX 4000 SFF. However, two specific graphics cards caught our attention.
First, PNY partnered with Cooler Master to produce the GeForce RTX 4090 Verto. The trend is for graphics card manufacturers to collaborate with cooling experts to develop innovative products. For example, Asus leverages his Noctua experience and expertise to manufacture the GeForce RTX 4080 16GB GDDR6X Noctua OC Edition.
If you think you’ve seen a chunky GeForce RTX 4090 graphics card, think again. For example, the GeForce RTX 4090 Verto is a 4.5-slot graphics card, but it’s insane because it covers almost every PCI slot in a typical mATX case. For comparison, Asus’ custom GeForce RTX 4080 powered by Noctua features a 4.3 slot design. The GeForce RTX 4090 Verto measures 12.2 x 5.6 x 3.5 inches (310 x 142 x 89 mm), matching Asus’s 12.2 x 5.7 x 3.5 inches (310 x 144.8 x 87.5 mm). For PNY, Cooler Master designed the cooler and PNY took care of everything under the shrouds.
Not much is known about the GeForce RTX 4090 Verto. PNY did not reveal the clock speeds of the GeForce RTX 4090 Verto. The shroud is a prototype and may differ slightly from the production version. The graphics card utilizes a dual-fan cooling solution and it looks like he has two Cooler Master Mobius 120P ARGB 30th Anniversary Edition 120mm fans. In the prototype the cooling fan is connected to his PWM fan connector on the motherboard. It draws power from a standard 16-pin (12VHPWR) power connector and offers an HDMI 2.1 port and three he DisplayPort 1.4a outputs.

There aren’t many blower type GeForce RTX 40 series graphics cards on the market. So far, only two of his Ada Lovelace models with blower designs are known. Additionally, Leadtek is selling the WinFast RTX 4070 AI Blower 12G and GeForce RTX 4070 Ti 12GB Hyper Brain which are China exclusive SKUs. Unfortunately, there are very few choices when it comes to blower graphics cards, and although Leadtek is a world-renowned brand, their products are rarely available in the US market. PNY therefore has a great chance of succeeding with the GeForce RTX 4070 Blower Edition.
The GeForce RTX 4070 Blower Edition comes in a standard dual-slot format with dimensions of 11 x 4.7 x 1.6 inches (278.4 x 119.4 x 40mm), making it ideal for small form factor (SFF) cases and workstations with multiple slots. Perfect for GeForce RTX 4070 Blower Edition graphics card. The blower design is perfect for expelling heat outside the case instead of a standard graphics card cooler. The GeForce RTX 4070 Blower Edition employs an 82mm fan for active cooling. Again, PNY did not share the clock speed of the graphics card.
