That’s four expansion slots or more
Despite the fact that GeForce RTX 40 video cards are much more energy efficient than RTX 30 models, manufacturers are not only in no hurry to reduce the size of cards and their coolers, but, on the contrary, they are announcing ever more monstrous coolers. MSI at Computex 2023 showed several new solutions at once, and they are all huge.
In total, MSI showed three developments: a radiator with bimetallic fins, a three-dimensional evaporation chamber and an integrated liquid CO.
Video cards won’t stop growing in size?
There are no exact dimensions for each solution, but a card with one of them occupies 4.2 expansion slots. This is less than the thickest graphics card on the market in the face of PNY RTX 4090 Verto ARGB Dual Fan , but still very, very much.
Interestingly, MSI says that all these are developments for next-generation video cards, that is, at least for the RTX 4090 Ti, if one comes out. Or already for the RTX 50.
