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.

You do not need that connector for multi-gpu under vulkan and d3d12 (if developers intend to support multi-gpu..). It may help though under d3d12 if developers choose to support linked nodes adapters featuring cross-sharing resources...

Are reviewers working on 3090 already? When can we expect NDA to be lifted?

Yes you do, because nobody has used anything other than LDA MGPU so far, apart from Ashes of the Singularity

A single fan blower cooler and only two 8-pin connectors, on a 3090?? If I was gonna spend $1500 I would stay the hell away from this card.

Although I'm not spending $1,500 on a GPU myself, neat on Gigabyte for making a card that doesn't cover up a nearby motherboard slot and still works with the existing power supplies out there out of the box.
I'd agree with the other comments that it is ideal for a waterblock swap (if cheaper than $1,500) otherwise someone whom runs it at 4k with everything on Ultra settings...it's going to sound like a hair dryer?
