NVIDIA AD102 GPU with dual 16-pin 900W power connectors

NVIDIA has reportedly prepared a test board for its flagship RTX 40 “Ada” graphics card, which is powered not by 16-pin but two power connectors. This model is said to be designed for 900W TDP, which is more than the previously mentioned 850W.

It’s worth noting that several sources are now claiming that the best GeForce RTX 40 SKU that’s supposed to launch later this year will be built for a 600W TDP, which could be the next generation GeForce RTX 4090 SKU. So, the rumored 900-watt alternative is either the RTX 4090 Ti that’s supposed to release later or a side project that might end up at some point as a real product. One also cannot rule out that NVIDIA will bring back its TITAN chain, because the leaker also claims that it will have 48GB of 24Gbps of memory.

Furthermore, Kopite7kimi also confirms the latest specifications for the RTX 4080/4070 models. Interestingly, each SKU is now expected to feature a different GPU. The RTX 4080 will be based on GA103 while the RTX 4070 will be based on the AD104 instead. NVIDIA will increase memory capacity per sector as well, the xx080 series will now get 16GB (so the increase from 4 to 6GB, depending on which RTX 3080 model we’re comparing), while the xx70 series will see 4GB more (8GB -> 12GB ).

The NVIDIA GeForce RTX 40 gaming series codenamed “Ada Lovelace” should be announced in September or October, if the rumors can be believed. NVIDIA is expected to release multiple cards, including the high-end RTX 4090, 4080, and 4070 SKUs, with more cards to follow later.
