The 600 watts attributed to the GeForce RTX 4090 may seem like something unthinkable, but, apparently, this may not be the limit.
According to a source who has previously revealed the characteristics of upcoming video cards, Nvidia is working on an even more monstrous adapter.
It’s not yet clear what this model is, but it will feature a fully configured GA102 GPU, 48GB of GDDR6X memory, a pair of new 16-pin power connectors, and a 900W TGP! That is, with the same GPU as the RTX 4090, the card will consume 50% more power. However, the situation is approximately the same in a pair of RTX 3090 and RTX 3090 Ti.
The insider says that so far no one knows if this adapter will eventually come out. Given the incredible power consumption, it is not certain that Nvidia will be able to create a stable consumer product. As far as speculation goes, it could be a GeForce RTX 4090 Ti or a new card from the Titan line. The second just hints at a huge amount of memory.
At the same time, no matter how this video card is called, power consumption of almost 1 kW seems unrealistic.
Separately, the same insider spoke about other RTX 40 cards. According to his data, all three older models will rely on different GPUs. The GeForce RTX 4090 will get the GA102 GPU, the RTX 4080 will be based on the GA103, and the RTX 4070 will get the GA104. Perhaps the separation is necessary due to the incredible complexity of the older GPU.
In addition, it is worth noting that the RTX 4080 will have 16GB of memory and a TGP of 600W, while the RTX 4070 will have 12GB and a TDP of 300W.
