Possible Nvidia GeForce RTX 4090 Ti spotted again

Keep in mind that peculiar quad-slot Nvidia GeForce RTX 4090 Ti cooler prototype that was seen just a few months again? Properly, it’s again once more however this time with a PCIe slot hooked up, suggesting this prototype acquired additional than only a cooler idea.

The unique quad-slot Nvidia GeForce RTX 4090 Ti leak showcased an ingenious however seemingly deserted Nvidia graphics card design that had the cooler sit on prime of a horizontal card (relatively than dangle off the facet of a vertical card) and occupy 4 PCIe growth slots, full with the cardboard’s video outputs being unfold out with one every for every growth slot.

It was an attention-grabbing idea however on condition that it has been over a 12 months for the reason that RTX 4090 launch date, it was seemingly clear that the cardboard was only a idea and nothing extra, by no means to see the sunshine of day. That solely appears to be much more the case with so many rumors about RTX 4080 Super, RTX 4070 Ti Super, and RTX 4070 Tremendous playing cards flying round, with no point out of an RTX 4090 Ti.

Nonetheless, leaks relating to the quad-slot card have continued to unfold, with the cooler appearing for sale at one level, and even a job lot of the RTX 4090 Ti IO brackets from the cardboard showing on eBay too.

The most recent RTX 4090 Ti leak, then, which comes from a since-deleted Reddit publish, appears to be the primary to indicate not simply the cooler however the card itself, as there’s additionally a visual PCIe bracket on the underside of the cooler. The cardboard is proven alongside an RTX 2000-era RTX Titan exhibiting the sheer dimension that the cardboard would’ve been. The RTX 4090 isn’t any featherweight however the the RTX 4090 Ti was set to be a monster!

Curiously, although, to my eyes, the PCIe bracket that’s suspiciously hidden within the shadows of the leaked picture appears prefer it might’ve been digitally added or that it’s a mockup of a PCIe bracket, not the actual deal. It appears too uniform and untextured, with out the glint of actual gold connections.

That is all of the extra suspicious because the leak additionally comprises a closeup picture of the IO bracket of the cardboard. Why not take a photograph of the cardboard itself too? Even when the cardboard isn’t full – perhaps the GPU isn’t hooked up – we might nonetheless see the remainder of the PCB.

Whatever the authenticity of the leak, it nonetheless appears unlikely that any RTX 4090 Ti will see the sunshine of day, not to mention this model. And, heck, even when it did, present RTX 4090 worth traits recommend it wouldn’t precisely be a cut price.
