Suspected quad-slot Lenovo Legion RTX 4090 pictured

looks like a triple to me. Basing my assumption on the guys hands and differents between knuckle at joint.

It could be a triple in size but a quadruple in slots. As in, you wouldn't be able to fit anything in that 'fourth' slot even if the shroud only took up 2-4mm of it.
 
It's over 4.

One for the back plane, then three below and dipping into the 5th making it unusable.

The Zotac is the same. GN just showed it and said it was 4-5 slot.
 
BTW if the pic is confusing ignore the slots at the back.

Slot 1 - power connector. It's dual slot up to where the heatsink is exposed, then over two more for the shroud.

This is what a 500w+ GPU cooler looks like.

Unusable for who though? 4-way SLI was unusable six years ago, but people did it. Those that couldn't didn't. I don't see it any differently now. If these cards are gonna be £2500 and draw 500W of power in an age of electricity costing three times what it cost six years ago, and have so much powerful that most people have no use for, that's only going to be usable by a select few just as it was six years ago for 3 or 4-way SLI.
 
Sound cards, WiFi,Elgato, raid maybe. Heck, even PCIE to nvme cards.

I'm using one mining riser for my sound card which admittedly is very LP but the PCIE to nvme not so much.

I mean yeah if you work on the assumption no one actually uses any more than one PCIE slot fair enough. But this card in particular is going to be used by more pros than gamers and thus losing all those slots will suck.
 
So few people get these cards. The most powerful card on Steams statistics with more than 1% of users are a 3080 (plain) at 1.68%. The 3080ti variant is around 0.7%

TBH I'd wish for a bit more focus on the mid to highend mainstream cards, and less on these monsters.



If I'm shopping for a car, I dont read about Bugatti either.
