So far only Radeon RX 460 You can connect a full desktop discrete graphics card   to a Raspberry Pi 5 single board computer for $60. [caption id="attachment_85125" align="aligncenter" width="780"] GeForce RTX 4090 to Raspberry Pi 5[/caption] This is exactly what channel author Jeff Geerling implemented by connecting a Radeon RX 460 adapter to his Pi 5. And it all worked. True, achieving this is not so easy. Of course, the Raspberry Pi 5 itself does not have a PCIe slot, and indeed there are no classic slots at all. But since this is a Raspberry Pi, its capabilities can be expanded with various modules, adapters, and other things. That is, you can even connect a GeForce RTX 4090 to Raspberry Pi 5? To connect the video card, the author of the project used the uPCity module, which is not yet commercially available, but will appear in time. In addition, of course, the card needed to implement additional power. https://youtu.be/BLg-1w2QayU It’s difficult to say whether someone needs such a solution for practical purposes, since the Raspberry Pi 5 was created for experiments, but the ability to connect a discrete video card in itself is already a big plus.

But the configuration can be changed The GeForce RTX 4090 D (Dragon) video card , which will be created specifically for the Chinese market and will not be subject to US sanctions, will receive the same GPU as the current version.  [caption id="attachment_85108" align="aligncenter" width="600"] GeForce RTX 4090 D[/caption] GeForce RTX 4090 D (Dragon) will retain the same AD102 GPU as the original model According to insider MEGAsizeGPU, it will be AD102, but in a different version. If the RTX 4090 initially used the AD102-300, which was then replaced by the AD102-301, then the new product will receive the AD102-250. Typically Nvidia changes the index number depending on the number of changes. That is, AD102-250 will be noticeably different from AD102-300/301. Unfortunately, it is still unclear what exactly.  Let us remember that the sanctions mean that the GeForce RTX 4090 D (Dragon) should have performance below 4800 TOPS, but this is an aggregate figure for different modes. Nvidia can reduce this figure in various ways, including cutting the core and reducing frequencies.  Insider MEGAsizeGPU previously spoke about the launch of the RTX 4060 and RTX 4060 Ti before the announcement, as well as the timing of these models entering the market.

The normal model is one and a half times faster We have already seen how Chinese craftsmen converted mobile GeForce RTX 3060 Laptops into desktop adapters. It turned out that there was the same miracle but in the form of the RTX 3080 Ti.  [caption id="attachment_77776" align="alignnone" width="780"] GeForce RTX 3080 Ti[/caption] Such adapters are produced by the Chinese company XR, which we have not heard of before. Technically, this is a mobile RTX 3080 Ti Laptop, that is, with a GA103 GPU at the core, which has 7424 active CUDA cores. For comparison, the desktop RTX 3080 Ti is based on the GA102 with 10,240 CUDA cores.   [caption id="attachment_77778" align="aligncenter" width="780"] GeForce RTX 3080 Ti[/caption] Be careful when purchasing the GeForce RTX 3080 Ti. In addition, this “Frankenstein's monster” has a 256-bit bus and lower frequencies, but it has 16 GB of memory versus 12 GB for the original desktop model. What’s interesting is that in this particular case, the TDP is also reduced to 115 W, although the mobile RTX 3080 Ti Laptop can operate at 150 W.  However, tests show that the flip card produces results almost identical to the mobile model. But the normal RTX 3080 Ti is one and a half times faster than both versions, that is, these are solutions of completely different classes.  [caption id="attachment_77779" align="aligncenter" width="780"] GeForce RTX 3080 Ti[/caption] Thus, when purchasing an RTX 3080 Ti from China, it is worth taking a closer look at the product’s characteristics.

And not only to China It turned out that not only the H800 and A800 accelerators, which China needs for development in the field of artificial intelligence, were subject to new US sanctions. Regular RTX 4090 is now also banned for the Chinese. [caption id="attachment_71132" align="aligncenter" width="780"] GeForce RTX 4090[/caption] The US even banned deliveries to China of the GeForce RTX 4090 More precisely, the list includes the following Nvidia models: A100, A800, H100, H800, L40, L40S, and RTX 4090. Considering that the new rules are based on performance and TFLOPS per square meter. mm, probably the RTX 4090 is simply too powerful and therefore falls into the same category as specialized solutions. It is also worth noting that it is not only China that will no longer be able to obtain such adapters. The ban also applies to Saudi Arabia, the United Arab Emirates and Vietnam. If they stop supplying gaming RTX 4090 to China, these cards will probably skyrocket in price in this country.

One of the most compact RTX 4070 The MSI company has undertaken to make modern video cards more compact. First, it introduced the GeForce RTX Gaming Slim models, and now it announced the GeForce RTX 4070 Ventus 2X. [caption id="attachment_55187" align="aligncenter" width="780"] MSI GeForce RTX 4070 Ventus 2X[/caption] And it's an adapter that takes up just two expansion slots and is only 242mm long, which is much shorter than most RTX 4070s. This ends up being one of the most compact versions of the RTX 4070 on the market. MSI GeForce RTX 4070 Ventus 2X introduced [caption id="attachment_55188" align="aligncenter" width="780"] MSI GeForce RTX 4070 Ventus 2X[/caption] Among other things, we can note the white color, a pair of very large fans, three DisplayPort ports, and one HDMI. To operate, the device requires the connection of one eight-pin power connector.
