NVIDIA RTX 4090 Ti / RTX TITAN (Ada) Pictured, Behold the 4-slot Cinder Block

Here's the very first picture of an alleged upcoming NVIDIA flagship/halo product to be positioned above the GeForce RTX 4090. There are two distinct brand names being rumored for this product—the GeForce RTX 4090 Ti, and the NVIDIA RTX TITAN (Ada). The RTX 4090 only uses 128 out of 144 (88 percent) of the streaming multiprocessors (SM) on the 4 nm "AD102" silicon, leaving NVIDIA with plenty of room to design a halo product that maxes it out. Besides maxing out the silicon, NVIDIA has the opportunity to increase the typical graphics power closer to the 600 W continuous power-delivery limit of the 16-pin ATX 12VHPWR connector; and use faster 24 Gbps-rated GDDR6X memory chips (the RTX 4090 uses 21 Gbps memory).

The card is 4 slots thick, with the rear I/O bracket covering all 4 slots. The card's display outputs are arranged along the thickness of the card, rather than along the base. The cooler is a monstrous scale-up of the Dual-Axial Flow Through cooler of the RTX 4090 Founders Edition. The card is designed such that the PCB doesn't come up perpendicular to the plane of the motherboard like any other add-on card, but rather, the PCB is parallel to the plane of the motherboard. The PCB is arranged along the thickness of the card. This has probably been done to maximize the spatial volume occupied by the cooling solution, and probably even make room for a third fan. We also predict that the PCB is split in such a way that a smaller PCB has the display I/O, and yet another PCB handles the PCI-Express slot interface. Sufficed to say, the RTX 4090 Ti / RTX TITAN will be an engineering masterpiece by NVIDIA.

TheinsanegamerNWell, you have yields, with the price of wafers being so much higher they'll want every last piece of functional silicon you can find. Those undervolt and underclock settings are not universal, while each GPU can undervolt the level they can reach will very, just like every generation, and nvidia likely doesnt see a reason to reduce yields to lower stock usage seeing as anyone who wants to do that can do so on their own time.
You misunderstood, 270w and 8% without undervolting or undercloking-ish (the card will not reach higher clocks without the power that is), just a simple lower power limit.
TheinsanegamerNNVIDIA has been overbuilding their coolers for a few years now
Few years sounds like more than it is, only since the 3000 series really, still technically few years but not really that long ago.
TheinsanegamerNAIOs on GPUs are just a total waste of time.
Agreed but they don't need to be, they could do something more modular like using a more standard block and quickconnects to an external pump and radiator instead of buying a cheap Asetek solution.

We need reinforced motherboards to counter sagging, and cases with larger footprint for stability.

The card seems to be vertical to what we've used to have.
But how it's connected to pcie? with a riser?

So is the actual pcb perpendicular to the heatsink and even smaller than the other RTX-4000 series cards? I wonder how it would work with a water-block?

I am excited to see what kind of performance this GPU will bring. It's like a G65AMG, not for the masses, but still interesting to look at how the 0.1% live. :D

Well i´ve kinda checked those boxes and have even tinkered with a dual tower backplate and optional tec
..some sound dampening tests as well...








Nowadays i´m tinkering on a brand new build because the owner of this one refuses categorically to share it.
As you can clearly see in his eyes :fear:


Until the 4090ti comes out i´m not fighting him :kookoo:

only 4 slots................

but my PC has 7 though

P4-630Is this really becoming the future of GPU's?.... :(
I think it's the future of all chips in the future. They can only shrink so far. I have a 4090 and I will not be getting this for sure lol

all the air is made to be vented out the back of it. The cooler is completely different from the current One Nvidia is using on th RTX 4090/4080. There are no side ventings on this card, to dump heat inside the case.

I think you got it wrong. Some of it goes out the back, but most of it goes straight through vertically, similar to a CPU tower heatsink (although those are usually pushing air horizontally).

No I don't.
Nothing on that card got out the side of it it all goes straight out the back. I wasn't talking about Vertically I was talking about blow out up against the motherboard or side window of the case. The Triangle parts their on the RTX4080 4090 are all angled out ward & not in line like this is.

What do you think is on the underside of the heatsink in that pic? You know it's not the PCB, as it's attached to the side facing the camera.

again Not the same.

The whole point with this layout is to have air going straight through the fins without finally being blocked by the pcb. For the same reason, the air flows straight through with the front fan.
There's nothing stopping the air from going vertically.
DemonicRyzen666again Not the same.
I never said they were the same.

Just to be clear, this is what I mean with the back of the card... :D NOT the underside.

Count von Schwalbe2. No possible way to make it less than 4 slots, even with custom loop. Also not really compatible with vertical mounting either.
Display I/O PCB can probably just be rotated if it is separate from the card as stated and most likely connected via a cable.

Do cases with vertical mount have a spacer between the two slots? I haven't used one.

If so, it would land straight across the middle of the connectors.

If the GPU itself is on the part with the PCIe connector, a riser cable would be a requirement for taking up less than 4 slots.

Why don't they just put a god damn AIO on it ? Actually, if you go through the trouble of making this thing 4 slots, you can probably fit an AIO and the radiator in the same volume. This is not going to be an engineering masterpiece but more like an engineering debacle.

By the way, they've already released the same fully enabled chip in a 2 slot blower Quadro, it's not like this abomination of a cooler is actually needed.
