NVIDIA GeForce RTX 40 Graphics Card Rumors: AD102 GPU For RTX 4090 24 GB , AD103 GPU For RTX 4080 16 GB, AD104 GPU For RTX 4070 12 GB, Titan-Class Up To 48 GB & 900W

900 Watt Titan?

Tbh that's a pretty large cuda core gap between a 4080 and a 4090:

This gen, they had to use GA102 for 3080 where as next gen, if they do decide to use AD103 for 4080, either Nvidia is going greedy or they think that top end RDNA 3 won't be able to compete with AD102 full spec. It could also be that using AD103 was the only way to keep the 4080 price somewhat reasonable where as 4090 might be crazy high. But we will see though. The cache increase will be a very interesting factor as well. We know that infinity cache from AMD helps a lot with achieving high fps at lower resolutions. So with next gen, you get a massive increase with Lovelace by going from 6mb of L2 cache + 384 bit memory bus to 96mb of L2 cache + 384 bit memory bus vs 512mb of L3 cache on RDNA 3 + 256 bit memory bus.

Also 300 watt TDP for a 70 class is kind of insane...

I'd be disappointed if the 4070 ends up 300+ watts. High-mid range should be under 300W imo. If not for environment or electricity bills.. but the darn amount of heat that'll put on in the Summer months. Like how they've vastly improved the cache though, that'll make a big difference in performance.

And 900W is crazy, though tbf enthusiasts would are wiling to get the best of the best probably won't be too bothered lol. Whats nuts is that these cards are rumored to be on TSMC's 4N.

Yea sadly I get the feeling the 70 class will get a bump there as well. I think at some point, Nvidia and AMD need to have a gentlemens agreement to not go above a certain wattage for 70 class and below. Hell even 80 class and below. Cause it's like, what's after Lovelace and RDNA 3? 900 watt 5090/5080 and 400 watt 5070?

And yea, I am sure only enthusiasts will get it but man, that one GPU uses more power than my entire computer...
