NVIDIA is getting closer to releasing RTX 40 graphics cards that are even faster. Two days ago, a new leak showed NVIDIA works on a TITAN GPU with 800W power and possibly 48 GB of memory. Today, we found out that, after all, TITAN and RTX 4090 Ti should be two different models.
Kopite says that the RTX 4090 Ti would have a cut-down version of the AD102 GPU with 18176 cores, which is 1792 more than the RTX 4090. The memory would be upgraded to 24 Gbps modules, and the TBP would be 600W. It could be clearer from the last part whether that means TDP, TGP, or just max board power. It may have a higher default board power (450W+) since the RTX 4090 Ti has the same maximum configurable power limit (600W). That’s the most a 16-power connector can handle.

The faster memory chips suggest that the card would have a maximum bandwidth of 1152 GB/s, which is 144 GB/s faster than any RTX 4090 on the market. One should also notice that Kopite confirms that PG136 and PG139 are on boards with the numbers 136 and 139. These are the numbers for NVIDIA’s reference boards and Founders Edition boards. In other words, the RTX 4090 and the RTX 4090 Ti would have the same board.
NVIDIA has been working on this card for a long time, which is not a secret. This metal piece from the new cooler design was one of the first to get out before the RTX 40 launch. It was later used for the RTX 4090 that didn’t have Ti.
Kopite won’t say when this kind of card will come out. There is no reason to release a new flagship Ti model at all right now. On the other hand, NVIDIA is now expected to have a GTC keynote in March. This would have been an excellent time to announce a new TITAN.
