Redditor discovers Nvidia GeForce RTX 4090 Ti in 'junk computer bin'
The GeForce RTX 50 series is right around the corner. As it stands, Nvidia is expected to officially introduce at least the GeForce RTX 5080 and GeForce RTX 5090 around CES 2025 in January. Incidentally, pricing for the latter has recently surfaced online, too.
As a result, it seems that Nvidia is done with the RTX 40 series. Nonetheless, what would have been its most powerful consumer Ada Lovelace graphics card has appeared again in a new leak. Specifically, the card in question was thought to be the GeForce RTX 4090 Ti or RTX Titan Ada, which has surfaced a few times last year after reportedly being cancelled.
Until now, only the card's shell and cooler had been shown. However, Redditor u/This_Explanation_514 has shared images of what could be a complete prototype 'pulled out of a junk computer bin'. For instance, it looks as though the Redditor has provided a first look at the GeForce RTX 4090 Ti's PCB, evidence of which we have embedded below. Seemingly, Nvidia rotates this 90 degrees, which resulted in the display and PCIe connectors sitting on a different boards.
Additionally, the same post shows the card's extra mounting system, which would have been necessary thanks to its quad-slot design. Based on rumours from the time, Nvidia had equipped the RTX 4090 Ti with an AD102 GPU that housed 18,172 CUDA cores, a 10% increase on the GeForce RTX 4090 (curr. $1,979.97 on Amazon). Allegedly, Nvidia canceled the card because existing solutions already matched what AMD was offering at the time.
