Quite the lucky one you are especially given the branding on it states 4090 ti and not "Next Gen Graphics" like Jayz and Gamers Nexus does. Would you be willing to take a few more photos? Maybe even show a gpu-z screen?

Here is the GPU-Z. The LOGO on the top uses the font of 30 series. I guess they change the branding into "Next Gen Graphics" when they release it.

Interesting that it says 4080. Also why censor the vbios information?

Some of this seems unusual. Card reports as a 4080, with the chip being A103? Shell being different from known samples also strikes me as odd as it shows "4090Ti" which is unusual.
The memory size does not match what a 4090 would have, it matches a 4080 as it is missing 8GB of VRAM, the Shaders and TMUs/ROPs are also not matching a 4090, let alone a ti model.

I can definitely believe there is some abnormal stuff here but theres a few too many issues with this at a glance given known samples out there. Can you go into detail where you found this card? The shroud alone is giving me concerns, but the numbers aren't matching what is expected either. I'm not saying it's fake at all, but I would be skeptical of this one.

It is not a 4090 at all. The core on PCB is AD103 with 8 RAMs. The 4090Ti is just a LOGO.

My mistake then. The way the post was made made it seem like it was a 4090/Ti. Unusual for sure though.

I think it is rarer than EVGA 4090

Talking about EVGA unreleased gpu kingpin himself spoke about a possibility of his brand of gpu coming on gamer nexus youtube
Looking at the gpu pcie interface it stated x8 not a full x16 so don't know why they wired it this way.
I have seen a video where one of asus gpu have nvme slot on the pcb which added another function for extra storage but limited to x8 due to the gpu only using x8 so they thought of why use the remaining x8 than wasting resources

Since my mobo split it. I use both x16 slots.

It says 6GB. Not 9GB.

Hello All!

Let us celebrate 20 year old Geforce 6800 with a whopping 256mb of v-ram!
12 whole pixel shaders, 5 whole vertex shaders and I tried original HL with some choppiness. XD.
Has a maximum gaming resolution of 1024 x 768 though lower is recommended.

Engineering Sample!! Cool kids club!

9Gbps over standard 8Gbps. It's 1060 variant with faster memory. It was introduced a year later in the (1060) Pascal lineup IIRC, and it's not so rare to begin with. But it's a good example of Nvidia doing just the opposite from what it's doing today.

My mistake. Still, the GPU-Z screenshot mentions nothing about the memory. And the backside PCB shot isn't so helpful

Though there's difference in bandwidth and memory clocks. Standard (8Gbps) 1060 runs VRAM at around 2000MHz and (over 192-bit bus) that makes around 192GB/s total max bandwidth. I still have my 1060, mined Zcash with it OC-ed back in the day, so kinda tested the limits, etc...

For FE, it is rare. From GPU-Z, you can see the mem clock, 2257MHz corresponding to 9Gbps, while an 8Gbps one has 2002MHz.

how to you find these ?
You are working in industry ?

My guess is they are in China/Taiwan area and 99,99% of that stuff is manufactured there.
In 2008-2010 I had a friend who was a sailor and often was there and one time he bought me an i7 875K ES for 150 USD in Hong Kong from some corner seller there, when street price here was 300 EUR and 1 USD = 0,60 EUR or so. I remember it was dirt cheap. Had it for 2 years.

Sorry for offtopic

Yes, China and Hong Kong produce most of the Nvidia/Intel engineering samples.
In previous years, many engineering samples leaked from AMD/NVIDIA R&D laboratories in North America were imported to China as electronic waste.

But in 2018, the Chinese government banned foreign waste from entering China. Most of the e-waste now goes to India, Vietnam, Cambodia and Nigeria.

wow I just found this 3090 ti kingping EVGA modded with 2x12PWH pins 700€

Should I buy it ?
