NVIDIA's unreleased and massive quad-slot graphics card which could either be the GeForce RTX 4090 Ti or the next-gen Titan has been pictured once again.
NVIDIA's Massive GeForce RTX 4090 Ti / Titan Ada Graphics Card Pictured A Bit More, Quad-Slot Cooler With Vertical PCB & Display Outputs
The first pictures of the graphics card which is presumed to be either the NVIDIA GeForce RTX 4090 Ti or a next-gen Titan Ada offering, were first leaked back in October 2022 when the first Ada GPUs were hitting retail shelves. We got to see a cooler that was at least four slots tall and was claimed to feature a cooling capacity of up to 900W. The cooling solution was also very unique in design as the PCB went on the side rather than below the heatsink itself which meant it was to be placed vertical which is a first for any GeForce consumer graphics card.
The second leak came a few months later in January 2023 which gave us a look at a more finalized product with the PG137 SKU naming which was first pointed out by Kopite7kimi and later showed up in a shipping manifesto too which confirmed that the card would feature a 48 GB VRAM & a 384-bit wide bus interface.
Now, we have brand new pictures of the alleged NVIDIA GeForce RTX 4090 Ti or the Titan Ada GPU from another leak in pictures published by Twitter user, @ExperteVallah. These new pictures show a prototype variant of the said card sitting next to what is a GeForce RTX 3080 Ti or RTX 3080 FE. It shows that the prototype is a very beefy unit that takes up at least quad-slots worth of space and requires a single 16-pin connector to boot which means that its TDP will peak out at 600W and not 900W as early rumors had claimed. Another thing is that the PCB seems to be missing from this particular variant since the display outputs are empty.
The only thing this unit has is the heatsink, shroud, backplate, and wiring to the 16-pin connector. The connector won't be directly connected to the PCB like the rest of the RTX 40 series cards but rather use a wired extender that runs through the heatsink and goes to the other side of the card. While the leaker asks if this might be the alleged Titan RTX (Ada) graphics card, I personally doubt it since the card clearly has the "GeForce RTX" logo on it and Titan cards don't use that.
It is likely that a similar design was tested for both the 4090 Ti and Titan Ada but there are reports that the Titan has been more or less cancelled. In its place, the RTX 4090 Ti is said to be offered with the PG136/139 PCB, featuring an AD102 GPU with 18,176 cores, an 11% increase in cores over the RTX 4090, 96 MB of L2 cache which is a 33% increase over the RTX 4090, and 24 GB of GDDR6X memory.
While the memory capacity still remains the same as the RTX 4090, the bandwidth will see a major boost. That's at least what is speculated but given how much NVIDIA changes specs & design during the planning phase, this plan might have been scrapped for something entirely different by now.
We might see a similar or modified version of this graphics card when NVIDIA decides to launch the 4090 Ti but for now, we can only look at this monster & just imagine just how much of a ferocious beast it will in terms of gaming performance and especially the pricing. NVIDIA partners showcased brand new 4 and 5-slot designs for future GeForce RTX 40 series cards such as the 4090 Ti at Computex 2023 which you can see here.
