The alleged NVIDIA GeForce RTX 4090 Ti cooler continues to leak and we have some more pictures of the card showing its thick frame.
The Alleged NVIDIA GeForce RTX 4090 Ti Cooler Is Super Thick & That's About It
A few days ago, we posted a separate article where we discussed this leaked cooler for what is an alleged GeForce RTX 4090 Ti graphics card. There is no confirmation as to what card this FE cooler belongs to but it is said to be an early prototype that was used for AD102 GPUs. The same cooler has been said to be designed for the RTX 4090, RTX 4090 Ti, and Titan RTX Ada though only NVIDIA RTX 4090 exists at the moment and it doesn't share any resemblance to this beast.
So once again, we get to see the card from various angles, and first up, we have the card compared to the GeForce RTX 3080 Ti and the RTX 3090. The first thing you'll be able to notice is that the 4090 Ti (Alleged) is smaller in terms of length but in terms of thickness, it is a beast of a card. The FE card takes up a total of four slots versus the 2 and 2.5-slot designs featured on the other two cards.
You can also notice the placement of the 16-pin power connector which doesn't match up with the PCB placement since the GPU and board are set up vertically in the other direction and a power-cable extender is used that goes through the cooler and connects to the power connector on the opposite side. It is definitely a unique design but it hasn't made it to consumers yet. We might see a similar design on future Founders Edition cards or this prototype will be the only time we get to see it.
The user who listed the card is selling it on the Chinese Goofish platform and has also attached a video of the alleged NVIDIA GeForce RTX 4090 Ti graphics card which you can see in the tweet below:

It is likely that a similar design was tested for both the 4090 Ti and Titan Ada but there are reports that the Titan has been more or less cancelled. In its place, the RTX 4090 Ti is said to be offered with the PG136/139 PCB, featuring an AD102 GPU with 18,176 cores, an 11% increase in cores over the RTX 4090, 96 MB of L2 cache which is a 33% increase over the RTX 4090, and 24 GB of GDDR6X memory.
While the memory capacity still remains the same as the RTX 4090, the bandwidth will see a major boost. That's at least what is speculated but given how much NVIDIA changes specs & design during the planning phase, this plan might have been scrapped for something entirely different by now.
We might see a similar or modified version of this graphics card when NVIDIA decides to launch the 4090 Ti but for now, we can only look at this monster & just imagine just how much of a ferocious beast it will in terms of gaming performance and especially the pricing. NVIDIA partners showcased brand new 4 and 5-slot designs for future GeForce RTX 40 series cards such as the 4090 Ti at Computex 2023 which you can see here.
