Lenovo is going to release its own graphics card, and it's a BEAST!

The leaked images of a graphics card never seen before have given us two rather juicy pieces of information. The first is that the size of Lenovo‘s NVIDIA RTX 4090 will not be exactly small, the second is to see the Chinese manufacturer as one more important participant in said market, since the model that has been seen is theirs. What information and conclusions can we draw from all this?

Actually, any manufacturer of laptops or complex circuitry such as motherboards has everything you need to build a graphics card. The fact that a Lenovo RTX 4090 exists shouldn’t surprise us. It is possible for the same reason that brands like GIGABYTE, ASUS and others can build their own laptops and motherboards. However, what is interesting is the industrial design of the card.

Lenovo’s RTX 4090 occupies four slots

Which means and as you can see in the images, the height of the graphics card is higher than that of any other model to date. All this is due to the height of its fans and its heatsink. Which are necessary to be able to extract all the heat from a graphics card that uses the 12 + 4-pin PCIe power connector and that can provide powers of 150 W, 300 W, 450 W and 600 W. The last two being precisely the used by the different models of the NVIDIA RTX 4090.

At the moment we do not know the TGP that NVIDIA will assign to its top of the range , although it is possible that with the enormous power margin left by the new connector we will see cards around 600 W of consumption . So they need bigger heatsinks and fans. We have to start from the fact that since we cannot expand the width of PC cases because it would break the standard, what we end up doing is increasing the height of the cooling components.

What’s more, we know that not only will the Lenovo RTX 4090 be the only model that occupies four slots, the rest of the manufacturers will launch similar models. Is your PC tower ready to support a graphics card of this size?

Not Lenovo’s first graphics card

Although it is not usual to see the brand launch graphics cards, the RTX 4090 is not the first model that Lenovo launches on the market, since we already saw a Radeon RX 6900 XT made by them and occupying three slots. So the Chinese manufacturer already has experience making high-end graphics cards, never better said.

Another conclusion that we can draw is that they are currently focusing on the top of the range, which makes sense since they are the ones that leave the most margin and allow them to test their production lines. In any case, it would be very interesting to see more modest graphics cards from Lenovo, one more manufacturer on the market, never too many and the quality of its products, especially its laptops, is already known.
