This_Explanation_514 is said to have found a prototype RTX 4090 Ti graphics card in the trash, which was never released. The card is unusually large and has an interesting port arrangement.
Another interesting find in the trash appeared on Reddit, a prototype RTX 4090 Ti graphics card. This yet-to-be-released graphics card was reportedly found in the trash and surprised with its unconventional design. Its PCB is located parallel to the motherboard and the output connectors are on a separate board. The card also includes a mounting system with a support bracket and a magnetic cover, which is typical of expensive Nvidia graphics models.
According to the photos shared, the RTX 4090 Ti is almost twice the size of the RTX Titan and greatly exceeds the dimensions of the current RTX 4090 Founders Edition. Unfortunately, without a 16-pin power cable, it was not possible to verify its functionality.
Even if the card worked, it would be impractical to use on a daily basis. As a prototype, it lacks official support, warranty and updates, making it more of a collector’s item than a full-fledged tool. This_Explanation_514who discovered the card, plans to place this unique item in his display case with other graphics cards after testing.
The RTX 4090 Ti might have been Nvidia’s flagship, but its alleged cancellation suggests there was a problem with it. Perhaps the ban on exporting high-end technologies to China is to blame, or the fact that Nvidia already dominates the market and doesn’t need more competition for its current models.
