Nvidia RTX 4090 Ti GPU might be inbound, but forget about that RTX Titan

Description:
Titan of Lovelace is no more, if this top-end GPU ever was planned but an
RTX 4090 Ti, on the other hand

FULL STORY ======================================================================

Nvidia will purportedly not be making a top-end Lovelace graphics card RTX Titan model, a GPU which has previously been rumored .

This one originates from a regular Twitter-based hardware leaker,
Kopite7kimi, who let us know in a very short tweet that the Titan is no
longer planned by Nvidia (as seen by VideoCardz ). That is, if it ever was
of course, we must regard that possibility, and indeed this fresh
speculation, with an appropriate dose of seasoning. We won't see Titan of Ada Lovelace. October 17, 2022 See more

What this doesnt mean, however, is that we wont see a further higher-end GPU than the RTX 4090 in the future, built around a fully unshackled AD102 chip.

The theory is that it wont arrive in the form of a new RTX Titan, but it
could be an RTX 4090 Ti. Kopite7kimi clarifies in a further tweet: 4090 Ti is still possible in the future. Analysis: A more modest strategy for AD102

Wed go further than that and say the RTX 4090 Ti is likely in the future. Indeed, wed be surprised if Nvidia didnt eventually push out something stronger than the RTX 4090, given that it uses a cut-down AD102 chip and
that wiggle room has surely been left for a reason.

Essentially, theres more room here to go for a more powerful flagship
graphics card, so it seems a strong possibility thats an option Nvidia will exercise. The problem for Team Green is likely to be the need to push power requirements higher than the already beefy 450W TGP of the RTX 4090.

Indeed, weve previously heard on the grapevine that a fully-fledged AD102
card could hit as much as a ridiculous sounding 800W , or more recently 600W (and thats rated power usage for the base spec, with faster overclocked third-party cards potentially grabbing more than that during spikes of
usage).

In short, the PSU requirements could be pretty eye-opening, but then again, the RTX 4090 Ti or RTX Titan that will apparently never be are graphics cards that wouldnt be purchased outside a niche set of power users and PC enthusiasts (or well-off hardcore gamers). Who will doubtless have rigs well-equipped to handle any PSU or related thermal demands (and power bills, for that matter).

An RTX 4090 Ti is likely to be a relatively modest increase, keeping much the same spec as the RTX 4090 save for upping that CUDA Core count, and tuning up the clocks a bit (and pushing that power usage as mentioned, with 600W sounding much more like a Ti variant than a Titan).

Naturally, itll beef up the price tag considerably too, and we probably wont be seeing it for some time. Certainly, if Kopite7kimi is correct, Nvidia evidently isnt talking about the GPU yet, and its only a possibility . But it does make sense, and on the other hand, the rumor mill also reckons Nvidia is already putting aside the choicest AD102 chips for a future Ti version; so if true, thats certainly a strong indication the supercharged flagship is coming.
