The TDP value was rumored to be as high as 600 watts, which was also seen in the leaked images earlier, but unfortunately at the moment there is no full certainty whether the prototype found in the trash is functional.
Images of a hefty GeForce graphics card and its cooler, which was claimed to be designed for a TDP value of up to 600 watts, have previously leaked online. Now the cooler in question with the graphics card has found its way into the hands of Reddit user This_Explanation_514.
This_Explanation_514 has found a GeForce prototype that has been circulating on the internet in an unspecified IT junk. The video card assumed to be the prototype of GeForce RTX 4090 Ti is exactly what previous image leaks indicated. In the comparison pictures, the Titan RTX looks downright small compared to the prototype version.
The video controller’s cooler takes up to four card slots from the computer and its circuit board was unusually at a 90° angle to the normal one. The graphics card cooler follows the shape familiar from other RTX 40 series FE models, but exceptionally the bottom of the graphics card’s circuit board in the prototype points towards the motherboard and the PCI Express connector is at a 90° angle to the circuit board thanks to a separate circuit board. The entire back side of the circuit board is covered with various surface connection components and power supply stages.
At the end of the cooler, you can see not only the supports for the four card slots, but also one HDMI and three DisplayPort connections, which also sit as an extension of the separate circuit board. One 12VHPR connector works as a power connector, which sticks out from the lower part of the side of the graphics card when installed parallel to the cooler.
Unfortunately, it is currently unknown if the prototype is also a working graphics card, but This_Explanation_514’s reference to a paperweight suggests that it wouldn’t.
