However, for this to work properly, the SSD would have to be mounted back to front compared to how it would be mounted on a motherboard. The neat thing with the NVMe drive being on the GPU, is that it also connects to the heatsink of the graphics card, which means the cooling should be rather good. It's unclear if ASUS relies on bifurcation or if the company has added some kind of bridge chip, but bifurcation makes more sense, as a bridge chip would add a lot more cost.
In theory ASUS could have added a pair of SSDs, since there are a total of eight lanes available. The card is based on NVIDIA's GeForce RT 4060 Ti GPU and although not all details are clear at this point in time, it appears that ASUS is taking advantage of the unused PCIe lanes on the card, since the AD106 GPU only uses eight PCIe lanes. A streamer on Chinese site Bilibili has shown off an unannounced graphics card from ASUS that has a rather unusual feature, a slot for an M.2 NVMe SSD.
