This LEGO-compatible RTX 3090 is perfect for the creative PC builder.

If you're looking to jump on the RTX bandwagon, albeit completely retro, after the recent release of the 30 series, the Galax RTX 3090 GAMER graphics card is for you. There are already a number of third-party RTX 3090 designs out there, but this soon-to-be-released Lego design spotted on expreview (via tomshardware) really confuses me.

This triple-slot, triple-fan design has a base clock of 1,410 MHz, accelerating up to 1,695 MHz; 24 GB of GDDR6X memory runs at 19.5 Gbps; and a 3.5 GHz clock speed, with a maximum speed of 1,695 MHz. Outputs include three DisplayPort 1.4 connectors and an HDMI 2.1 port, supporting the all-important 8K resolution. It is both retro and future-proof!

ARGB lighting effects are present and correct and can be controlled by the motherboard. Most importantly, you can connect actual LEGO bricks.

Reddit users seem unhappy with the use of the word "gamer" in this Galax card series. And they are quite vocal about the font choice, arguing that even Comic Sans would have been a better choice.

The model is also a bit of a confusing crossover in that the rounded edges and color choices dilute the Lego aesthetic and make it more reminiscent of the Nintendo DS. All the greebles are removable, including the red and blue edges as well as the translucent acrylic cover.

Unfortunately, this model is exclusive to China, so if this is your style and you are an avid fan of both LEGO and the switch, you'll have to figure out how to bring it home.

The RTX 3080 model also appears to be available, but with the same inventory concerns and availability difficulties.
