nvidia "It's bigger than that, Chris. It's large" - Alleged Titan RTX images leaked

[BachChain]

Summary

 

Images claiming to be renders of an upcoming Nvidia Titan GPU have been released by Moore's Law Is Dead. The as-of-yet-unconfirmed images show a card that pushes the boundaries of believability, boasting two of the now infamous 12VHPWR connectors, giving a max theoretical power draw of nearly 1500 watts. This is accompanied by a full 4-slot wide cooler that dwarfs the already extreme 4090.

The renders show a quad-slot graphics card with the same Founder’s Edition cooler aesthetic as Nvidia’s current RTX 4090 and RTX 4080 offerings. In addition, the PCB might be in a “sandwich,” with a thicker plate on the back of the graphics card to help with cooling. It’s a brilliant idea, as the Titan RTX Ada will most likely have 48GB of GDDR6X in split mode, where Nvidia places memory modules on both sides of the PCB (i.e., similar to the RTX 3090 and previous Titan cards).

 

My thoughts

Even if does turn out to be fake, the fact that something like this could even be taken seriously is a testament to the absurdity of the high-end 4000 series.

This is getting comical. It looks like a cartoon steak.

It's hard to tell with ALL THE FUCKING 'YOUTUBE' WATERMARKS ALL OVER THE GODDAMN PIC, but I find it hard to believe that's real.

[ImorallySourcedElectrons]

So the card is already a square looking at it along its length, when will it become a square looking at it from the side?

[PDifolco]

Can't they bother to put watercooling on this $5000 GPU rather than a 10kg heatsink??

[TetraSky]

 

 

That is... WAY too massive and WAY too power hungry. I hope it's fake. Ain't no way, man...

600W + 600W = 1500W?

[Ripred]

Nvidia is compensating

Plus 300 from the slot

What? 

Where did you see that a PCIE slot will give 300W?

ATX Spec is 75W.

The Mac Pro additional power slot in line with the PCIe slot? Or because it's a 4-slot card and 4x 75W is 300W?

And what motherboards actually push that over 75w?

Also, he was given bad information and later corrected that article.

BTW:

What is this supposed to be? 12VHPWR connectors floating freely somewhere in the fin stack? This "leak" is a quite of lot of hot air - literally and figuratively.

To be fair to the leak. While I still doubt that this is anything even relatively close to true, "floating connectors" is nothing new.

Gigabyte loves to use them.

Spoiler

8 pin power connectors are remote mounted for a smaller PCB.

 That is literately a space heater disguised as a GPU.

I know, but Gigagbyte is doing something else. In the rendering the 12VHPWR connectors are - literally - beyond the middle of the fin stack. I understand that they don't need to be soldered to the PCB, but come on!

The rendering shows a position for the 12VHPWR which

a - is a tooling nightmare

b - is visually unpleasing.

I have zero doubts nvidia is/has internally tested this. Its whether or not it gets a real release or not that is still in question
FYI the image shown in OP is a render based off of images MLID has received, but the images wont be released to protect the sources. The images as of yet, have not been publicly leaked.
Also, two 12 pins does not mean 1200W. its because it exceeds 600W. Actual power usage looks to be more around 700-800W.

 

I am very confused by what @HenrySalayne is confused about though. Thats exactly how its done on the 4080 and 4090, having a half centimeter between the plug and the top of the card. 

[Qub3d]

OK, this may be a problem for North American customers, because these things are pushing system power draw to the maximum available on a 15 Amp circuit.

What, are we expected to plug our PCs into EV chargers?

[Tan3l6]

Gonna need a bigger boat now.

[BiG StroOnZ]

I was going to post this story the other day, until after further examination it was realized by me that the only pictures that are leaks are these:

 

 

The rest are renders that have been fabricated. And from the above picture alone, it's not much to go on as far as leaks are concerned. 

[leadeater]

But there is already a Titan RTX.... lol

Well it is MLID so there is a pretty high chance of it being fake. And if it is, he'll just blame his source just like every other time he's wrong.

Its literally an inhouse render from MLID based off private leaks that cant be shared without risking sources.
They are not hiding these facts anywhere.
