Gigabyte's RTX 4090 Gaming OC GPU has leaked

doesnt look like an efficient way to dump heat given we want streamlined airflow in the case. This would cause a slight turbulence surely?

If you vertically mount the GPU and want airflow, typical intake through the base of the case and upwards out through the top, this would counter that flow.
 
It isn't different than any other cooler to this day. Fans don't have shrouds they just blow the air in 360 degrees and something gets redirected by heatsink. FE cards had some air pushed out the back and some through the heatsink over the ram. These ones just dump the heat in all directions. As long as you supply the air to the intake area of the fans it will perform ok.
 
Are x090 no longer supposed to be 'creators' cards?
Any card is a creator card. It only matters how much horsepower and vRAM you need. There are Studio Drivers that are more stable. GeForce cards also work with professional software like Autodesk, Solidworks, etc. They are officially "supported" but not verified. If you have quadro you have a guarantee that software will work with GPU and driver, and all eventual bugs are fixed asap. If you use GeForce it will probably work fine but any incompatibility with software won't be fixed.

Yes they are.

The problem is the horrendous power consumption. So the whole Titan moniker has been replaced with "90".

The last Titan (Turing) was £2300. The Titan before that (V) was even more.

So this is just a name change.
