NVIDIA has its flagship GeForce RTX 4090 graphics card available on the market with 24GB of GDDR6X reminiscence, however there was a prototype GeForce RTX 4090 Ti made with a big quad-slot design… and that I/O defend has simply hit eBay.

We beforehand noticed the GeForce RTX 4090 Ti prototype quad-slot cooler hit the Chinese language black market, and now we have the RTX 4090 Ti quad-slot I/O bracket. It options the common 3 x DisplayPort 1.4 connectors and a single HDMI 2.1 port. VideoCardz experiences that we’re in all probability seeing the suppliers that made these RTX 4090 Ti quad-slot I/O brackets wanting to dump them as a result of they’re ineffective — NVIDIA will not launch the GeForce RTX 4090 Ti, it appears — to make some cash.
They’re truly not badly priced at $25 with free transport, making for fairly the collector’s merchandise on a budget: an unreleased graphics card — and never simply one thing mid-range, however what would’ve been a robust GeForce RTX 4090 Ti — and whereas it is solely an I/O defend, it is also solely $25. Not dangerous.
Why is the RTX 4090 Ti prototype a quad-slot? That is as a result of NVIDIA was taking part in round with one thing really completely different with the prototype of the GeForce RTX 4090 Ti, which had a PCB design that was turned 90 levels. It meant that the board was parallel to the motherboard, which might’ve been actually attention-grabbing to see occur, however it could present way more environment friendly cooling. We have been to count on energy numbers of someplace between 600W and 800W of energy, in line with a number of leakers.
Evidently the GeForce RTX 4090 is the flagship graphics card we’ll see within the Ada Lovelace GPU household, so here is hoping we see that monster quad-slot cooling design — and attention-grabbing PCB and 90-degree set up into the motherboard — oh, and that stunning as much as 800W of energy. I do not care what energy the cardboard wants. Whether it is pumping out 1.5x+ the efficiency of the cardboard, it succeeds on the prime. I am all for it.
3However, the facility numbers have been overblown main into the launch of the GeForce RTX 4080 and particularly GeForce RTX 4090, with each of these playing cards very energy environment friendly contemplating the gaming efficiency you get from the playing cards, particularly the RTX 4090. All of them run far cooler than the earlier RTX 3080 Ti, RTX 3090, and RTX 3090 Ti playing cards… due to the shift from Samsung to TSMC course of nodes.
So… NVIDIA’s next-gen Blackwell GPU structure is subsequent, so lets say a GeForce RTX 5090 or RTX 5090 Ti with a quad-slot, 90-degree angle set up, next-gen Blackwell GPU structure, next-gen GDDR7 reminiscence, next-gen DLSS4, next-gen ray tracing efficiency… I imply, why would not you need that?
