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.

But facts are bad when they conflict with the narrative.
Crossflow open circuit cooling tower (evaporative cooler), by the looks of it.
Remember the time when everyone made fun of GTX 480 for consuming over 220 watts where the GTX 285 consumed less than 130 watts.
The growth in power appetite of processors is unreal.
We used to have so many sub-100 watt cards back then.
This card ain't a toy for gamerz with small weenies but big pockets, only interested in their e-peen -- that's what the 4090 is for - This card, I'd argue, is for the prosumer market space - digital/3D professionals and the like. You know, people who would truly put that beast to good use, rather than simply brag about it on the internet.
Good to see TITAN mentioned again. Hope it turns out to be true.
Yeah how does it mine is all that matters :laugh:
To say they were replaced by the Titan cards isn't entirely accurate either.
