This new single-slot RTX 5090 is tiny, but needs custom cooling

The article discusses the new single-slot RTX 5090 graphics card from Inno3D. The card is remarkably small, measuring just 223mm long, 134mm high, and 20mm thick, making it about a third the size of the Nvidia Founder's Edition version. A smaller RTX 5080 version is also available, measuring 187mm x 110mm. However, to achieve this compact size, the cards require custom liquid cooling solutions. Buyers will need to build a custom cooling loop, including a radiator, reservoir, and pump, which can significantly increase the overall system cost. The article suggests that a system with this card is likely to cost at least $4,000 USD. The article also notes that Inno3D recommends a minimum 1kW power supply to handle the card and its cooling system. Pricing for the cards has not been officially announced, but the author suggests that they may be out of reach for most consumers.
