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.

The middle picture of the heatsink is a several months old picture.
Edit: Here is previous example from few days back.

Also, we're really seeing the limitation of the ATX form factor these days. ATX is a CPU-focused design yet GPUs are the dominant components in terms of space, cooling, and power requirements in any midrange PC and have been for about 15-20 years.
"hold my beer"
- Intel
They got what they wanted tho, 90 posts filled with feelings and opinions.
I'm gonna hit whoever calls this a card with this damn brick.
Then when multi-GPUs were the fad, a number of cases came with 2 PSU locations that allowed for double PSU, but now required having high-amp wiring installed within the home (or split between two lines) to handle it all.
And now we're coming back around to that time again, but in the form of megalith GPUs needing all that power.
1 - It doesn't have DVI or VGA.
2 - Where are the PC only games that warrant such a purchase? :D:kookoo:
A model with no heatsink would be nice for watercooling bros, but it'd be hard to verify warranty needs.Bruh DVI has been a dead standard for over a decade now, and VGA? really? What high end monitor today is using VGA? If it's not a 4k panel, or even 1440p, why on earth are you buying a 4090ti? (and honestly just use a displayport -> VGA adapter if you really need it.).
