Nvidia GeForce RTX 4090 Ti may have featured an unusual fan design

Whereas the superior energy of the Nvidia GeForce RTX 4090 Ti is unlikely to ever see the sunshine of day, its prototype cooler a minimum of gives some perception into how monstrous this graphics card could have been. Now, new photos of the quad-slot cooler present Nvidia could have been toying with an unorthodox design to maintain this gargantuan GPU cool.

For these out of the loop, a supposed RTX 4090 Ti cooler appeared on the scene earlier this yr, full with an unusually positioned 12VHPWR connector and completely thicc heatsink. Shortly after this, it was positioned on sale, for just a bit over $120,000 (sufficient to purchase 75 RTX 4090s and alter.)

Taking to Goofish as soon as extra, the individual in possession of the prototype, Hayaka, shared extra photographs of the cooler (through harukaze5719) and revealed the cooler isn’t simply absurdly massive however unusual in its design too. Along with the 2 followers on both aspect of the GPU, Nvidia could have been toying with the thought of inserting one other fan between the fins of the heatsink too.

I’m not fully certain how helpful this inside fan could be, however I definitely am curious as to what the logic behind it’s. Nevertheless, as I discussed earlier, the most recent from the grapevine is that Nvidia has probably axed the RTX 4090 Ti, leaving the efficiency crown firmly resting on the RTX 4090‘s metaphorical head (a minimum of, for now).

Rumblings of the RTX 5090 are already starting to stir, even when we’re nonetheless some time away from a believable RTX 5000 series release date. So, whereas the RTX 4090 Ti could also be consigned to historical past, we may even see its affect materialize in its successors.
