NVIDIA is preparing a graphics card that will consume 900W

Reportedly, NVIDIA is preparing a top-of-the-range graphics card from the RTX 40 seriespowered by not one, but two 16-pin power connectors. According to reports, this model is designed to consume up to 900W, more than the 850W mentioned above.

For comparison, the RTX 3090Ti, already considered a power-hungry graphics card, runs at up to 450W TDP (850W PSU recommended). These values ​​exceed the rumors of the RTX 4090, which is supposed to work with a TDP of 600W.

In fact, there is another full-fat AD102 SKU with 900W TGP, 48G 24Gbps GDDR6X, 2*16pin and higher frequency.
But no one knows whether it will become an actual product. Because the test board of AD102 has more than two 16pin connectors, so everything is possible.

According to tipster @kopite7kimi, the high power consumption would be combined with equally amazing technical features. The graphics card would have 48 GB of GDDR6X memory of 24 GBps and would operate at very high frequencies, whose numbers were not revealed, but may be quite high, since the AD102 board being tested has more than two 16-pin connectors.

The RTX 4070 and 4080 should use different GPUs

The same tipster also brought new information about the RTX 4070 and RTX 4080 graphics cards, stating that each of them must use a different GPU. While the RTX 4070 will use the AD104 model, with 12 GB of memory and 300W TDP, the RTX 4080 will use the AD103 chipset, with 16 GB of memory and TDP not yet determined, but which should be closer to the RTX 4090 models. .

For now, NVIDIA has not released any official details about them. The new models should be based on the Ada Lovelace architecture and would begin the first stages of testing in mid-April this year.

An official announcement of the new models is expected in September or October of this year, and the first units would hit the market soon after. According to the manufacturer, the new GPUs will coexist in the RTX 30, as a way to ensure that consumers have greater access to their products.
