tangential but the size of 4090 seems to be a mistake and hindering usecases like this. I believe NVIDIA changed to the samsung process a bit late and it produces less heat, but they have communicated to OEMs about the cooling requirements so nobody wants to redesign their card. I expect some aftermarket brands to create "slimmer" 4090 coolers to enable aircooled dense 4090 workstations.
- kkielhofner 4y agoGigabyte produced a dual slot 3090 for a little while before Nvidia pressured them to discontinue production[0]. I suppose we might see "slimmer" 4090s at some point but even if the design is (somehow) possible it's clear Nvidia won't allow their partners to manufacture dual slot versions of RTX cards that could possibly compete with higher end cards.
