Images of a custom RTX 4090 GPU are floating around the web, and it may be the least reliable Nvidia graphics card to date. Current-gen options like the RTX 3090 Ti are by no means small, but it looks like the next-gen flagship will make even large PC cases feel cramped.
The RTX 4090 in question looks like a custom Gigabyte model, but the leaked images contain no branding information (via Wccftech). The card icon inside the Lenovo Legion gaming PC is also blurred, but the visible numbers suggest that it is, in fact, the next-gen flagship model.
It’s worth noting that while this particular RTX 4000 graphics card appears to take up four PCIe slots, Nvidia’s RTX 4090 benchmark won’t necessarily be that big. However, builds of the flagship suggest it will be a fake, so GPUs the size of older home consoles will soon become the norm.

As with all RTX 4000 leaks and rumors, we recommend mixing these GPU images with a pinch of salt. Although the RTX 4090 pictured is a legitimate contender for the best graphics card, it’s hard to say whether it belongs to Gigabyte, Lenovo, or whether it will actually look like an affordable product.
If this kaiju GPU and others like it make it to market, you may need to invest in the best PC case available to match its height. That’s not to say it won’t fit in any tower, but considering the fact that the MSI RTX 3090 Suprim X takes up a lot of space in the Corsair iCUE 5000T’s roomy chassis, you can see why that could be a problem. .
Gigabyte is reportedly preparing an entire army of RTX 4090 GPUs, so this beast could be part of the planned lineup. Retail listings also show ridiculous price tags, so choosing a custom graphics card can cost you a lot of time.
