Although these graphics cards lack RGB lighting, they are equipped with a white stripe, contributing to a refined appearance. In terms of connectivity, the RTX 4000 series includes HDMI 2.1 and DisplayPort 1.4 ports. These ports enable 8K 60 Hz HDR output through a single HDMI cable, despite the absence of the DP 2.1 standard.
The card's I/O panel comprises an air vent, connectors, and an aluminium fin stack within an alloy frame. The bulk of the cooling system's volume is occupied by the fin stack. The airflow mechanism involves one fan drawing air in and expelling it from the sides of the card, while another fan directs air through the fin stack and outwards.
The airflow mechanism involves one fan drawing air in and expelling it from the sides of the card, while another fan directs air through the fin stack and outwards. The cooling system integrates six heat pipes that connect to a vapour-chamber plate, efficiently dissipating heat from the GPU and memory components. For power management, the cards feature a 12VHPWR power connector header, complemented by a converter cable linked to 8-pin connectors. The product package includes relevant documentation and an adapter for converting 8-pin PCIe power inputs to a 12-pin power connector. Users are advised to maintain a 3-4cm clearance from the plastic connector and to avoid bending the cable near it for safe functionality.
The card is designed with a ventilated backplate and a consolidated size, measuring approximately 33 cm in length. Its cooling efficiency is bolstered by the incorporation of a vapor chamber, ten substantial heat pipes extending across the board, extensive heatsinks, and thermal pads applied to all vital components. Additionally, it includes specific heat pipes and heatsinks dedicated to the memory modules, ensuring effective temperature control. This model does not feature RGB lighting and maintains an appealing appearance with its all-dark design. The latest models in the series are engineered for superior cooling and enhanced stability, featuring the Ultra-Dense Protection Plate and a Metal Backplate with strategically placed cut-outs. The GeForce RTX 40 Panther is equipped with a robust thermal solution, utilizing the Cyclone Fans to optimize heat dissipation.
