Remember how, throughout last year, images of what could have been NVIDIA’s “Titan” RTX 4090 Ti variant fitted with Ada Lovelace began sprouting up, along with its alleged specifications. It appears that the monster GPU that could’ve been was indeed real, and someone managed to fish the huge chunk of metal out of the garbage.
Redditor user This_Explanation_514 posted several of images of the alleged RTX 4090 Ti on the NVIDIA subreddit. Off the bat, it looks identical to earlier images of the card, and the shot of the ports at the rear serves as, if nothing else, relatively concrete proof that NVIDIA was indeed up to something.
To quickly recap, early rumours had suggested that the NVIDIA was making a graphics cards under the RTX 40 Series with the PCB number PG137. Back then, the card was allegedly set to use the AD102-450-A1 GPU, have 48GB GDDR6X running at a blinding 24 Gbps, and would require 800W alone in order to run. Oh, and it would have 18,176 CUDA Cores.
The other shots of the supposed RTX 4090 Ti also shows that not a love was thrown (no pun intended) its way; you can see the dents into the heatsink at the spine, and the sunk 12VHPWR PCIe Gen5 port. Another shot shows off the PCB of the card and boy, does it look intimidating. There’s also the magnetic cover at the front of the card that hides its mounting bracket support.
The person who found the card notes that, as of the publication of this article, they have yet to run the card or even confirmed that it can even run. In any case, it’s clear that whatever NVIDIA had initially intended with this card, we’re likely to see it with the upcoming RTX 50 Series.
