One kidney, please! - NVIDIA RTX 4090

The 4090 is here! We can't turn it on or talk about performance at all, but we stole the Zotac 4090 Extreme Airo GPU from Labs so we can unbox it for you and talk about what we should expect from 4090 performance.

Purchases made through some store links may provide some compensation to Linus Media Group.

[ShortCircuit]

Stay tuned to LTT for the full 4090 review coming soon! Would you consider buying a 4090? What GPU do you have right now?

[FatUberUddersOfChaos]

With the size of these things its starting to feel like installing a PC into your PC.

[manankakkar]

Just in time to function as a space heater in winters.

[therandomdrone]

Im so glad he brought realism to the durability of power cables. I can tell when they mentioned the lifespan, most people have never heard of lifespan of cables plugged in and out and freaked out over something they had no idea about.

[Avengedsevenfoldxfan]

We went from GPU Sag to GPU Gansta Lean

[wavelogic]

Every time he slams it on the table, I get a sharp pain up my spine, this is no way to treat your kidney!

[thatzaliasguy]

With how big GPUs are getting, I can't wait to see someone make an SFF PC out of the shell of one.

[martins]

Sizewise it reminds me of the Soundblaster AWE32, which fitted in an ISA slot.
It was so long, that in our pc case we had it in the bottom slot and it was resting on a small rubber block to prevent it from hitting the bottom of the case.

[gluttony]

The trick is to sell someone else's kidney instead of yours

[surg]

Only 1, 600 before tax. Wow, that’s more than a lot of people’s whole build

[martinutasi]

Just imagine, the 5090 will use 2x PCIe x16 solts and it will come with an additional 600W PSU in the box😂

[nathantron]

I think these new cards are a prime example of Peltier TEC should start being implemented. A solid copperplate >>TEC>> with a thin fin heatsink designed to have air forced though as fast as possible or even water cooling.

[christos]

The sizes of these things are getting to the point where Cloud Streaming can really become a more appealing option with a bit more advancement of the tech. I saw a video with the 4090 ROG Strix and it requires a full ATX tower due to how large it is. That's insane. The heat output could probably take care of an entire 3 bedroom house in winter!

[squirrel]

The first ever computer was over 300kg, looks like we are moving in the wrong direction

[DrModsQ]

This GPU looks like it needs it's own case to be held properly without ripping the PCI-e connector off the motherboard

[AakashParihar_]

The thumbnail is so goofy, I love it 😂😂😂

[paullasky]

Fascinating how excited we all get about a massive fan and some RGB lights

[FnkDck]

Yo Linus thanks man, when you smashed the gpu on the table and bent the cables aggressively, I was reminded why I still watch you after all these years.

[Neoxon]

How does a modern GPU not have DisplayPort 2.0.

[edhikurniawan]

I like how Linus seems to understand how much a kidney, underground.
