With the NVIDIA RTX 40's release date nearing, partners have already begun work on the design and specialized cooling solutions. With this in mind, a leaked picture of an RTX 4090 or RTX 4090 Ti displays a massive cooling system with three fans.

Greymon55's snapshot appears to be an engineering sample of a graphics card based on the NVIDIA AD102 GPU. The card was apparently built together only for testing, analyzing efficiency, stability, and cooling solution, as seen by its minimal looks. It's unclear to whom the card belongs, however the design and fan are reminiscent to MSI Suprim cards. According to the leaker's supplementary information, this is an RTX 4090 Ti with a bespoke AD102 GPU. As a reminder, prior rumors stated that the RTX 4090 Ti will likely require approximately 600W of power, therefore a strong cooling system is necessary to handle the heat created by that pull.

Next month, NVIDIA is scheduled to unveil the first RTX 40-series graphics card, followed by a complete launch soon after.
