Update (12/21/2022) – FM
NVIDIA generated buzz for not having released a Titan graphics card with an “Ampere” GPU — used in the GeForce RTX 30 Series — to succeed the 2018 Titan RTX “Turing”, and many came to believe that the brand would not introduce a model with the new architecture “Ada Lovelace”, but the latest rumors indicate that the series should still gain news.
After the leak of the first photographs of the alleged Titan RTX 40 “Ada”, new images published by the channel Moore’s Law is Dead from YouTube on Tuesday (20) suggest that this video card with gigantic dimensions may be released in the future. Check out:
According to the leak, the cabinet would be four slots thick to support your massive heat dissipation system. There are very few products available on the market with this form factor. An example is Zotac’s GeForce RTX 3090 Ti PGF OC.
Another detail that can be seen in the leaked image is the dual video card connector. Previous rumors stated that the Titan RTX 40 “Ada” could consume up to 900W, but the Moore’s Law is Dead believe that the model should not consume more than 800W🇧🇷
The Titan RTX 40 “Ada” would have even more performance than the GeForce RTX 4090, and would boast enough power to be considered the most powerful graphics card available for consumers — whether gamers or content creators.
As speculated, the “monster” can use the AD102-450 GPU with 18,176 CUDA cores — 10% more than the GeForce RTX 4090 GPU —, 48 GB of GDDR6X memory with improved speed to 24 Gbps, which would guarantee an excellent leap in bandwidth.
NVIDIA has not yet confirmed the existence of the Titan RTX 40 “Ada”, but it is possible that it will not be presented to the market anytime soon. Upcoming “green team” releases are expected to include new models of GeForce RTX 40 for notebooks, in addition to the GeForce RTX 4070 Ti.

Did you think it was big? 900W NVIDIA Titan RTX 40 leaks with giant heatsink
The NVIDIA RTX 4090 was introduced in September and since then, several memes about its size have been circulating on the internet. However, images of GPU prototypes leaked today show that it could be even bigger.
The images were leaked by the Chinese portal ChipHell and show the RTX 4090’s heat dissipation system at various angles and stages of development.
In the images we noticed that the card should occupy 4 slots on the computer, making it practically unfeasible for those who have small cabinets or with several hardware items already equipped, such as capture cards, for example.
The large size is also due to the fact that a contact plate is positioned next to the GPU instead of below it.
The solution found by NVIDIA seems to be to rotate the entire heatsink design by 90º to reduce the space occupied by the GPU.
The portal even claims that it has more photos of this prototype, but that it cannot publish them at the moment for some unexplained reason. Unfortunately NVIDIA doesn’t usually comment on these leaks, so we can only speculate on the manufacturer’s choices.
Another possibility is that this is the prototype of an even more powerful version of the RTX 4090, such as a GPU from the Titan RTX 20 family that had the project canceled due to presenting flux instability with constant short circuits and high energy consumption.
