Nvidia RTX 4090 Ti/TITAN graphics card cooler pictures

Previous reports indicated that NVIDIA ultimately decided to cancel its TITAN or GeForce RTX 4090 Ti graphics cards, based on the Ada Lovelace architecture, due to considerations regarding volume, weight, heat dissipation, and power consumption. Additionally, the absence of significant competitive pressure from AMD played a part. NVIDIA had already prepared relevant PCB designs and cooling solutions, with the immense heat sink filling four slots having been revealed earlier.

Recently, new images of the GeForce RTX 4090 Ti / TITAN graphics card heat sink have surfaced on a second-hand trading platform, providing a clearer view of the prototype heat sink structure with its 900W cooling capacity. Unconventionally, NVIDIA had also rotated the PCB by 90 degrees, unlike standard graphics cards’ vertical stack layout. The graphics card itself features three DisplayPort ports and one HDMI port.

According to the page description, the prototype heat sink boasts three fans. The 16Pin 12VHPWR power supply extends via wires to the base PCB installation location. With a total of 22 heat pipes vertically embedded into the base heat spreader, the cooling specification is indeed formidable. As the images show, one of the fans is nested within the center of the heat sink.

Past rumors suggested that the TITAN graphics card, codenamed “the beast,” under the Ada Lovelace architecture, would feature the AD102-450-A1 GPU, similar to the RTX 6000 Ada Generation with 18176 CUDA cores. The PCB design is PG137-SKU0, equipped with 48GB of GDDR6X video memory with a 24Gbps speed and two 16Pin 12VHPWR ports, reaching a total card power consumption of up to 800W. The GeForce RTX 4090 Ti, employing the PCB design PG136/139-SKU310, compared to the TITAN, reduces power consumption to 600W and cuts the memory capacity by half.
