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.

“Moore’s Law’s dead,” Huang said, referring to the standard that the number of transistors on a chip doubles every two years. “And the ability for Moore’s Law to deliver twice the performance at the same cost, or at the same performance, half the cost, every year and a half, is over. It’s completely over, and so the idea that a chip is going to go down in cost over time, unfortunately, is a story of the past.”
Barely 3 month after 4090 that is unchallenged as of now.
It is quite peculiar with that in mind. Makes me wonder if that is caused by NV seeing that 4090 market is somehow... already saturated. :eek:
3090 was released in Sept 2020.
3090Ti was released in March 2022.
So, you are saying there is nothing unusual with 4090Ti appearing 3 month after 4090 released?
And there was a die bigger than 3090's that we missed? (or at least there is a die bigger than used by 4090?)
Exciting times!
Oh, wait, it was a strawman? Dude you are so skilled. :D
If a faster than 4090 card releasing 3 month after 4090 was released with no competition in sight is nothing unusual to you... at this point, it is just not arguing in a good faith.
Nothing was even hinted at by Nvidia.
All we see is a leak of a prototype, I'm sure such prototypes are made as soon as first examples of chips are available, even if they aren't suppose to launch for months, or if they even decide not to launch a product at all.
I'm sure RTX 3090 Ti prototypes were made as soon as first examples of GA102 became available, probably full two years before card hit the shelves!
I don't really have a problem with this and sure there will be a market for the small number of cards. I find the 4090 to be more of a problem, the idea top tier cards ex the Titan should cost anywhere near 2k is a ridiculous one to me. My guess is that whilst we'll get Titan's still in future the days of such cards being more mainstream are numbered.
(but yeah, not release, "leak")
Remind me the first time 3090Ti was "leaked".
That sure is a funny way of saying: "The RTX 4090-whatever will be a massive card that even if it fits in to a case will likely short half the neighborhood before your PC even manages to boot and will likely burn everything down in a five mile radius due to it's insane power draw just to play Doom II." :rolleyes:

Do you know what this makes me think of?
