Our largest GPU to date is the Aorus RTX 4090 Master.

 The largest GPU we've ever seen is the Gigabyte Aorus RTX 4090 Master. Although we don't yet know the complete specifications of this GeForce RTX 4090 model, we do know that a very large chassis will be required to house this beast.

This unit is a monster. It requires four exclusive slots on a motherboard. There are three 11 cm fans included. We could actually stack multiple smaller RTX cards inside of it and still have enough to spare because it is 35.8 cm (14.1 inches) long and 16.2 cm (6.4 inches) broad. The arithmetic done by Videocardz.com showed that 10 Radeon RX 6400 cards could fit inside.

The GeForce RTX 4090, which Nvidia unveiled on September 20, should fit within this enormous GPU. These are the most recent graphics cards using Ada Lovelace architecture, which provide enhanced rendering, better ray tracing, and DLSS 3. Up to 24GB of GDDR6X RAM is included.

On the 4090, Nvidia promises a 2.5GHz clock speed while consuming 450W of power. We won't be able to test the RTX 4090 until October 12 because it won't be available until then, but we can anticipate remarkable performance because there are twice as many CUDA cores.

It's difficult to endorse any of the RTX 40 series GPUs Nvidia has so far unveiled until the reviews are in. Even if RTX 40 is as fast as Nvidia claims, these pricey GPUs have some of the highest price tags ever released (which hasn't been well received by most consumers). This will undoubtedly have a negative effect on the value proposition of these cards.

But the idea of one of those premium, fully loaded RTX 4090s within this gigantic Aorus Master unit has us salivating. We're not looking forward to the electric bill (or the exorbitant costs), and the power drain must be astounding, but perhaps this will finally usher gaming into the next era. This is still a GPU, after all, waiting for a game deserving of its capabilities.

The $1,599 MSRP of the top RTX 4090 is $100 more expensive than the $1,499 MSRP of the RTX 3090 and $400 less expensive than the $1,999 MSRP of the RTX 3090 Ti. When the RTX 3090 was already so pricey, an additional $100 for Nvidia's new flagship isn't much of a change. Given that the RTX 4090 has significantly more CUDA cores than the RTX 3090 and RTX 3090 Ti, it's odd that it doesn't cost more. Although it still has roughly the same memory size and bandwidth, this shouldn't be a problem because Nvidia should be aware of how much VRAM its GPUs require.
