GALAX prepares new GeForce RTX HOF concept with hidden power connector
© Shimizu_OC GALAX has a new GeForce RTX Hall of Fame concept graphics card on display, and this one takes the HOF series in a more expensive-looking direction. The card shown at Computex is not labeled with a GPU SKU, but the booth placard confirms it is a “ next generation concept design .”
The card uses a white and silver triple-fan front design, but the placard confirms a quad-fan cooling layout with push-pull airflow. GALAX also lists its new proprietary WINGS 4.0 fan, a large vapor chamber base, and multiple composite heat pipes.
HOF gets crystals and dual 12V-2×6 connectors
The main visual change is the use of “Crystals from Swarovski.” The crystals appear to be placed in the corners of the cooler shroud, which already includes RGB lighting and a large Hall of Fame-style frame. High-end GeForce cards are already expensive, so this feels like GALAX asking what happens when the cooler also needs jewelry.

The concept also has a fully customized HOF PCB with custom components. GALAX lists dual 12V-2×6 power connectors, with a normal north-edge connector and a hidden board position for cleaner cabling. This doesnt’s sound like GALAX will use something like ASUS GC-HPWR connector, but will still use cables for next-gen GPUs.

The placard also mentions a redesigned Hyper Boost button, dual BIOS with P mode and S mode, and a new detachable HOF Panel IV. The panel supports real-time monitoring, picture and video playback, and other display options.
This is only a concept at this stage, so there are no clock speeds, memory specifications, power limits, pricing, or launch dates. GALAX usually launches only one HOF model per generation, unless NVIDIA releases a Ti or SUPER refresh. This did not happen with the GeForce RTX 4090, and it is not planned for the GeForce RTX 5090 either. The next card in line would therefore be the GeForce RTX 6090 , assuming NVIDIA keeps its current naming scheme.
