Nvidia’s RTX 4090 Ti, the purportedly incoming refresh of the present Lovelace flagship, has been the topic of a recent leak – and this supercharged RTX 4090 could possibly be coming alongside a brand new RTX Titan.

The most recent on the RTX 4090 Ti graphics card comes from well-known leaker Kopite7kimi on Twitter, as flagged up by VideoCardz (opens in new tab).

The leaker believes the present plan is for the revamped flagship GPU to run with 18,176 CUDA Cores, together with 24GB of GDDR6X VRAM (operating at 24Gbps), and a complete board energy utilization of round 600W. The 4090 Ti can also be set to make use of the identical board because the RTX 4090, which might be no nice shock.

This combines with one other rumor from the weekend during which a second leaker on Twitter, MEGAsizeGPU (opens in new tab), posted what’s supposedly a picture of the RTX Titan, which if appropriate will likely be an enormous four-slot GPU that pushes energy utilization as much as 800W (utilizing the identical AD102 GPU, however doubling up the video reminiscence of the RTX 4090 to 48GB, no much less).

Evaluation: A strong improve from the RTX 4090, maybe – however at what value?

Word that the talked about 800W for the rumored RTX Titan is the utmost board energy, not the rated TGP. Bear in mind, the RTX 4090 has a TGP of 450W, however could be pushed additional than this – as much as 600W is the max energy restrict, a minimum of with the Founders Version (from Nvidia itself) and a few third-party playing cards. So the RTX 4090 Ti will stay the identical on this respect.

If there are RTX 4090 Ti and RTX Titan fashions coming, then possibly the Titan will differentiate itself with the full-fat core depend for the AD102 chip, which is 18,432, barely greater than the rumored 18,176 CUDA Cores for the 4090 Ti right here; and that will make sense. Though previous rumors (from a while again, admittedly) have pegged the theoretical Titan with 18,176 cores (and we’ve heard nothing since to point this isn’t the case).

Previously, although, there appears to have been fairly a little bit of confusion about the place Nvidia would possibly go along with a Lovelace mannequin that sits on high of the RTX 4090. A while in the past, we heard rumors a few 4090 Ti, after which that it was maybe canceled, after which that it would truly be an RTX Titan.

Quite than making an attempt to choose which path to go along with a range-topping AD102-powered graphics card, although, it appears Nvidia may very well now be making ready to push out each an RTX 4090 Ti and an RTX Titan. In fact, a number of pinches of salt are required with that concept…

We don’t get any clues when it comes to what launch timeframe Nvidia is likely to be taking a look at, however that might properly be wrapped up in how threatened Group Inexperienced feels by AMD’s RDNA Three graphics playing cards. And proper now, Nvidia’s RTX 4090 just isn’t threatened by the RX 7900 XTX which is main the cost for RDNA 3 (and compares extra to the RTX 4080, broadly, relatively than the 4090).

How a lot quicker will the RTX 4090 Ti be than the present Lovelace flagship GPU? Nicely, the CUDA Core improve is 1,792, which isn’t large. Nevertheless, we must always keep in mind that on high of this, its theoretically quicker VRAM (24Gbps in accordance with the leaker, versus 21Gbps for the 4090) may additional pep efficiency – and clock speeds would possibly (and sure will) be upped barely with the Ti variant.

So, can we hope for possibly a 15% efficiency improve with the 4090 Ti, or one thing in that order? Maybe, although that’s probably a best-case situation, and moreover, the probably catch is that pricing will witness a much bigger leap. The broadly anticipated value of the 4090 Ti is $2,000 (round £1,600, AU$2,800), or in different phrases, 25% dearer than the RTX 4090, in comparison with a 15% efficiency uptick.

In brief, we’re anticipating the general worth proposition of the 4090 Ti to be considerably inferior to the 4090, and actually, that’d hardly be a shock given Nvidia’s kind with premium graphics playing cards proper now.
