This IO Bracket Might Be All That Remains of The Canceled NVIDIA GeForce RTX 4090 Ti “Ada” GPU

NVIDIA's GeForce RTX 4090 Ti GPU has made an online presence once again, this time in the form of an IO bracket of the unreleased monster.

NVIDIA's Canceled GeForce RTX 4090 Ti "PG136F" GPU Was Going To Be The Flagship Ada GPU Until It Was Erased Out of Existence

Before the launch of the NVIDIA GeForce RTX 40 "Ada" GPU lineup, there were a lot of talks about a certain flagship graphics card that to this day has never seen the light of day and will never be released in the market. This graphics card was going to be the GeForce RTX 4090 Ti.

The NVIDIA GeForce RTX 4090 Ti graphics card was expected to utilize the full AD102 GPU, binned to the extreme, with a very high power rating. There were reports that the card would end up with a quad-slot cooling solution but those were used in the prototyping stage. Both the RTX 4090 and RTX 4090 Ti were initially tested with a very non-traditional cooling and PCB solution which never made it to the market though we might see it in some form of shape with the upcoming RTX 50 graphics cards.

Now, @Harukaze5719 has spotted a listing over at Chinese 3rd party seller, Taobao, which is reportedly an IO bracket that belongs to this unreleased GeForce RTX 4090 Ti graphics card. The I/O bracket reads "GeForce RTX 4090 Ti" and has the "PG136F" model number.

This model hasn't been used by any released GeForce RTX 40 graphics card but the most interesting thing is that unlike what the rumors claimed, the Ti model would've stuck with a 3-slot cooling solution like the RTX 4090 and RTX 4080. This is the same IO bracket used by the other two high-end cards with a large exhaust vent on the back and cutouts for four display outputs, one HDMI, and three DP 1.4.

The lister states that the NVIDIA GeForce RTX 4090 Ti was going to feature 48 GB of GDDR6X VRAM but MegaSizeGPU states that the specifications for this card were never finalized and the card was eventually canceled due to the new US regulations.

I think it never reached the point of the final spec, but if it exists, it is highly possible to be 24G.

So that's that, we will never know what the RTX 4090 Ti was going to look like or was going to offer to users but we will only remember it as one of the many unreleased cards that never made it to the market but obviously for good reasons.
