In the Ada Lovelace era, NVIDIA once created two monster-level flagship graphics cards, one was the game card RTX 4090 Ti, and the other was the professional card Titan Ada. Due to various internal and external reasons, they were all aborted, but their prototype designs have been circulating on the Internet. Now, some players have released a large number of physical photos of the Titan Ada prototype card, including the appearance and internal structure, as well as GPU-Z identification screenshots, which can be said to be the ultimate catch-all!
Interestingly, players claimed to have gotten this card as early as 2023, but they have been unable to make it public.
The first thing I thought after seeing the photo was how big it is, really big! It's thick enough to occupy four PCIe slots.
The overall design style is similar to but different from the RTX 50 FE series. They are both open-type heat dissipation and the front and rear fans are staggered (In fact, there is a third fan in the middle).
However, it was changed to an all-open grille to enhance heat dissipation and ventilation, combined with metal frame support.
You can indeed see the word "TITAN" on the metal frame, and there is also a huge "TITAN" logo on the top, proving its identity.
There is a flap at the tail that can be buckled off, and you can see more circular through holes inside. I don’t know what they are.
After taking it apart, you can see thatThe angle of the PCB is flipped 90 degrees, perpendicular to the baffle, very narrow and long, and the layout is extremely compact.
The PCIe slot connection is also very special, achieved through an adapter on the PCB plus a daughter card.
The auxiliary power supply is two 12VHPWR 16-pin interfaces, which are connected to up to six 8-pin PCIe interfaces. The theoretical maximum power supply capacity can reach 1200W, but some say it is limited to the 900W level.
Although the actual power consumption of the entire card will not be so high, it must be very scary, not less than 600W, otherwise a single 16-pin interface will suffice.
GPU-Z identification information is displayed,The card uses the full-blood version of the AD102 chip, which opens up all 1843 CUDA cores, 576 texture units, and 192 ROP units.
There are 12 GDDR6X memory chips on each front and back, 24 in total, forming 384-bit 48GB, with a bandwidth of more than 1TB/s.
