The Design
The front features a blackish texture accompanied by a silver-like covering at the edges whereas the backplate is covered in a black finish with a part of the chip exposed. The best (Kind of the worst) part is the logo confirmation. Instead of sticking with the bold logo, team green has opted for a plain design. It may not look the most aesthetic, however, it works. The new logo design features 2 different fonts, namely GEFORCE RTX (Old) and the new NVIDIA Sans NALA. The latter supposedly reduces the thickness of the text as shown by Videocardz in a tweet.
Additional Features
ZOTAC’s signature technologies such as ICESTORM 3.0, SPECTRA 2.0, FREEZE & FIRESTORM are included with this variant. The ‘key features’ for the RTX 4090 appear blurred, possibly on purpose by the leaker. It means that NVIDIA may be introducing something new with Lovelace. We could only decipher a few features such as :

The RTX 4090
A few days ago the RTX 4090 was tested in TSE and turned out to be 3x faster than the RTX 3080 from Ampere. The kingpin 4090 features the AD102 GPU along with 24GB of G6X memory. The initial launch lineup of Lovelace should only include the RTX 4090, the RTX 4080 and the RTX 4070. We expect to hear more from NVIDIA themself on the 20th of September at their GTC Keynote. Stay tuned for more information.
