hardware leaker MEGA size GPU (opens in new tab) has shared a photo of the mysterious quad-slot cooler that will be used in one of Nvidia’s upcoming GeForce RTX gaming graphics cards. However, there is no conclusion yet as to whether that rumored he is the GeForce RTX 4090 Ti or the Titan RTX Ada.
The cooler boasts a gold theme, suggesting it’s likely a Titan RTX Ada, while the I/O bracket features four vertically stacked display outputs. This is the first time I’ve seen such a design from Nvidia. This means that the chipmaker will likely place his PCB for the mysterious graphics card dubbed “The Beast” vertically. So the PCB is not perpendicular to the motherboard like traditional graphics cards. Instead, the PCB will be in a parallel position to the motherboard. Given the vertical design, it will be interesting to see how cooling manufacturers develop water blocks for their graphics cards.
A small sticker on the graphics card’s I/O bracket has a “PG137” PCB board number, which is consistent with information from a reputable leaker. kopite7kimi (opens in new tab) From last July. The PCB board number for the GeForce RTX 4090 was PG136. Titan RTX Ada’s display connector has one HDMI port and three DisplayPort outputs. The exhaust vents are large and cover up to two PCI slots.
We can’t see the entire cooler, but kopite7kimi has previously stated that the Titan RTX Ada will utilize three cooling fans as opposed to the two fan configuration found on current Founders Edition models. did not disclose the placement of the cooling fan.

‘The Beast’ will reportedly feature the AD102 silicon that Nvidia is currently using in its GeForce RTX 4090 and RTX 6000 Ada. Similar to the former, the upcoming Ampere-powered graphics cards will have up to 18,176 of his CUDA cores at his disposal. It also comes with 48 GB of super-fast 24 Gbps GDDR6X memory.
According to kopite7kimi, the total board power (TBP) of the graphics card is around 800W, which explains the robust quad-slot cooling system. For comparison, the GeForce RTX 4090 has a TBP of 600W, which means the Titan RTX Ada has a TBP that is 33.3% higher. The Titan RTX Ada test board with 800W TBP is said to be powered from dual 16-pin PCIe power connectors (12VHPWR).
Despite all the leaks, there’s no firm date as to when the Titan RTX Ada is coming. increase. So chip makers are probably just waiting for the right time to unleash the beast.
