A prototype of the unreleased Nvidia RTX Titan Ada graphics card has surfaced online, revealing a fully enabled AD102 GPU with 18,432 CUDA cores and a substantial 48 GB of GDDR6 memory. This suggests that the RTX Titan Ada was designed to surpass the RTX 4090 in NVIDIA's lineup.
RTX Titan Ada Specifications
Leaked details from a GPU-Z screenshot and PCB photos show the following:
- CUDA Cores: 18,432
- ROPs: 192
- TMUs: 576
- Pixel Fillrate: 478.1 GPixel/s
- Texture Fillrate: 1,434.2 GTexel/s
- Memory: 48 GB GDDR6 on a 384-bit interface
- Memory Bandwidth: 864 GB/s
- Base Clock: 735 MHz
- Boost Clock: 2,490 MHz
Design and Architecture
The RTX Titan Ada prototype uses standard GDDR6 memory, rather than the more advanced GDDR6X. It achieves a 48 GB memory capacity through a "clamshell design" with GDDR6 modules on both sides of the PCB, like the RTX 3090 and RTX 6000 Ada. The card uses the full AD102 silicon compared to the RTX 4090 that uses only 89 percent of the chip.
Why Was It Canceled?
The potential cancellation of the RTX Titan Ada is likely due to its overlap with professional solutions, such as the costly RTX 6000 Ada. Additionally, with the lack of direct competition from AMD in the high-end market, NVIDIA may have decided that a more powerful gaming GPU was not a priority.
