Gigabyte shows RTX 3090 TURBO: With a dual-slot Blower Style cooler

We're not sure what to make of it, other then it's going to make quite a bit noise with a 350W GPU. Gigabyte will be outting a 1500 USD version RTX 3090 based on a blower-style cooler.

This Turbo Edition takes in air from the system and blows it out through the connectivity side of the card. it will be a bit of a bold move from GIgbayte, to release this. The card is 2 slots thick though, and only 26.6 cm long. It is fitted with two 8-pin PCIe power connectors and while GBT did not reveal clock frequencies, we expect it to run stock/reference numbers. Check 'r out below.

To maximize profits probably. That kind of cooler probably costs a few dollars to make. And they can charge as much for it as a card with a 150 dollar cooler.
Only would be interesting for watercooling if it actually was much cheaper than normal in first place.

Probably is for watercoolers. But wouldn't want to run a 3090 with such an air cooler.

Would be the same experience as the GTX 295.

great stuff.
the people who have so so cases this will be good for them.
drop power 10% drop temps by 30c happy days.
Soon as you put case side on their design shines and narrows the noise gap in half.
