51RISC RTX 40 GPU with a spirit level

A new Chinese GPU maker has just come up with a new idea.

The 51RISC is a small company operating at Chinese e-tail websites such as AliExpress. It looks like NVIDIA has sent enough GPUs to China for these companies to experiment, with the following results:

51RISC has a new GeForce RTX 4090 GPU based NVIDIA reference PCB but featuring completely custom cooler. It’s a proper 3-slot cooler as well, so if you have no room for the crazy 3.5 – 4 slot GPUs, this might be the card for you to get.

For those worried about a GPU sag, this card has an interesting solution, two spirit levels installed on the card itself. This will immediately show if the card is sagging. Unfortunately, 51RISC is not adding a VGA support bracket for this card, which is more or less the case for every other brand.

This model has default clocks and configuration, so it will perform just as well as any RTX 4090 with stock settings. There is no OC button here, so any overclocking will have to be applied manually.

This card is now on sale through Aliexpress for a jaw-dropping, 2827 USD (and that’s during sale). Of course, such a price makes no sense at all, so you are better off choosing any other card for that matter. And that is a pity because the GPU market could really welcome new players.
