Galax’s GeForce RTX 3090 Ti HOF smiles at the camera
GeForce RTX 3090Ti (opens in new tab) An absolute beast, but the currently available design looks almost mid-range compared to Galax’s upcoming GeForce RTX 3090 Ti Hall of Fame OC Lab Edition.
Image posted by Japanese Overclocker Duck OC (opens in new tab) (pass through TechPowerUp (opens in new tab)). The Hall of Fame series is Galax’s top line of graphics cards. It features a graded GPU and custom PCB designed for extreme overclocking. As if someone doubted it after seeing that powerful design! White is the logo of the HOF card.
The card has dual ATX 3.0 12-pin power connectors. Each is capable of delivering up to 600W of power, which means the card has over 1200W of power. The card is believed to have a default power limit of 516W, although there are bound to be extreme OC BIOSes capable of pushing more power than that through the card.
It features a 24+4 VRM design with custom-designed water blocks. This isn’t surprising given that the card draws so much power even in stock. Add in 24GB of hot-running GDDR6X memory and all those MOSFETs, and it’s no wonder Galax decided to skip air cooling in favor of a water block.

Pricing and availability for the card have yet to be announced. If we had to guess, it would definitely be one of the more expensive 3090 Tis, which means a price closer to $3000 is not out of the question. We can expect overclockers like Duck to start posting world record scores in the days and weeks ahead.
There is speculation that the next-generation AD102 GPU will be pin-to-pin compatible (opens in new tab) with PCBs that currently support GA102. This means that very high specification PCBs like the Galax HOF are likely to be transferred to RTX 4080 and RTX 4090 class cards with little (if any) modification.
When we see enthusiast RTX 4080 and 4090 class cards, maybe a 1200W possible power supply will come into play?Those RTX-40 series power consumption rumors (opens in new tab) Just won’t go away. If a single 600W power connector is not enough, how much would a 4080 or 4090 consume? We’ll find out later this year.
