The most interesting news is that the 5090 Founders' Edition is a 2-slot card according to Nvidia's website:

When was the last time Nvidia made a high end GeForce card use only 2 slots?
- archagon 2y agoFantastic news for the SFF community. (Looks like Nvidia even advertises an "SFF-Ready" label for cards that are small enough: https://www.nvidia.com/en-us/geforce/news/small-form-factor-sff-ready https://www.nvidia.com/en-us/geforce/news/small-form-factor-...)
- sliken 2y agoNot really, 575 watts for the GPU is going to make it tough to cool or provide power for.
- archagon 2y agoThere are 1000W SFX-L (and probably SFX) PSUs out there, and console-style cases provide basically perfect cooling through the sides. The limiting factor really is slot width. (But I'm more eyeing the 5080, since 360W is pretty easy to power and cool for most SFF setups.)
- kllrnohj 2y agoIt's a dual flow-through design, so some SFF cases will work OK but the typical sandwich style ones probably won't even though it'll physically fit
- _boffin_ 2y agoDonno why I feel this, but probably going to end up being 2.5 slots
- matja 2y agoThe integrator decides the form factor, not NVIDIA, and there were a few 2-slot 3080's with blower coolers. Technically water-cooled 40xx's can be 2-slot also but that's cheating.
- favorited 2y ago40-series water blocks can even be single slot: https://shop.alphacool.com/en/shop/gpu-water-cooling/nvidia/13869-alphacool-es-geforce-rtx-4090-reference-1-slot-design https://shop.alphacool.com/en/shop/gpu-water-cooling/nvidia/...
