Rumor mill: With regards to efficiency, measurement, and worth, the RTX 4090 is a beast of a graphics card, however it seems that an much more monstrous product is coming to the Ada Lovelace line. Alleged photos of what’s in all probability a Titan RTX Ada, although it may be an RTX 4090 Ti, have leaked, displaying its large quad-slot design and 4 show connectors on the I/O which are aligned vertically moderately than the same old horizontal setup.
Assuming they’re the true deal, the photographs from {Hardware} leaker MEGAsizeGPU verify that probably the most highly effective Lovelace card will use an Nvidia design fairly completely different from what we have seen earlier than. They recommend that the PCB is vertical, that means it is going to be parallel to the motherboard when the cardboard is inserted.
We are able to additionally see an exhaust grill so giant that it covers two PCI slots, which may have led to Nvidia stacking the three DisplayPorts and one HDMI port vertically as a substitute of horizontally.
There was debate over whether or not this new card will probably be an RTX 4090 Ti or a Titan RTX Ada. Given the gold theme, it appears we’re trying on the latter. There are extra hints on the I/O bracket’s sticker; the PG137 PCB board quantity was revealed by kopite7kimi in July final yr in a leak a few flagship Lovelace card with 48GB of GDDR6X, 18,176 CUDA cores, and a TDP of 800W, incomes it the suitable nickname of ‘the beast.’ For reference, the RTX 4090’s board quantity is PG139, and it has 16,384 CUDA cores.

Elsewhere, the Titan is claimed to be the primary to function a triple-fan reference cooler from Nvidia and can draw its 800W TBP through twin 16-pin connectors, which sounds regarding given how a lot some individuals have struggled with the RTX 4090 adaptors.
Apart from the gold theme, it is the rumored 48GB of 24 Gbps GDDR6X reminiscence that means this card is a Titan RTX Ada, because the model has lengthy been aimed mainly at creators and the scientific neighborhood; the RTX 6000 Ada additionally has 48GB of reminiscence, albeit slower 20 Gbps GDDR6. Extra proof factors to Micron’s announcement final yr that it was producing 24 Gbps modules, which have by no means been utilized in an Nvidia card.
There have been rumors (emphasis on that phrase) again in October that Nvidia had canceled the Titan RTX Ada as a result of it was tripping breakers, melting PSUs, and sometimes dissolving solely. It could possibly be that the corporate has now solved these points, and the cardboard is on its strategy to turning into a purchasable, and little question very costly, product.
