NVIDIA Could Give TITAN RTX Another Swing as Maxed-Out AD102 in an Unabashed 4-slot Monstrosity
A report by Moore's Law is Dead claims that NVIDIA is preparing to launch a new TITAN RTX halo product, based on a maxed-out 4 nm "AD102" silicon. Where does this put the RTX 4090 Ti? Somewhere in between the RTX 4090 and the TITAN RTX Ada, as NVIDIA gave itself plenty of segmentation headroom with the AD102 silicon, by using just 128 out of 144 SM physically present on the silicon, besides the same 21 Gbps GDDR6X memory as the previous-generation. NVIDIA's options with the new TITAN RTX include enabling all 144 SM (18,432 CUDA cores), and using faster 24 Gbps memory, giving the silicon (1152 GB/s memory bandwidth), a stock power-limit closer to the 600 W design limit of the 12VHPWR power connector (RTX 4090 stock typical board power is 450 W).
Moore's Law is Dead also posted what they claim to be the first real-world pictures of the upcoming TITAN RTX Ada. The card is an unabashed 4-slot enlargement of the dual-axial flow-through RTX 4090 Founders Edition, with the cooler capable of higher thermal loads. TITAN RTX cards are marketed as first-party Founders Edition cards only, and not through NVIDIA's AIC board partners as custom-designs. A maxed out AD102, with higher clock speeds, higher power-limit, and faster memory, should be unassailable for custom-design RTX 4090 cards, if NVIDIA wants to sell this card at the kind of prices its last TITAN RTX product sold at—USD $2,500.

I mean, ordinary plebeian telephones are approaching the cost of RTX 4090, what kind of exclusivity is that? Meanwhile, you can buy Falcon Supernova iPhone 6 Pink Diamond for $48.5 Million! What should a man with such a phone game on, ordinary commoner's card?
Inconceivable!
And now 4-slotters are pure M2 ssd heaters anyway. Cards more than 3 slot must be used with external riser or case, love it or hate it.
Wild guess, but will it bee 850 or 900w?
Wake me up if this actually becomes news, when you know, it's actually worth reporting on.
This is an absurd made by pure psychopaths.
If RTX 4090 was considered "large", now this is another level of absurd requiring all new cases, all new power supply units, all new patience by the potential users (I hope there will be next to none, though).
