The RTX 50s haven’t even arrived in the hands of consumers yet, and there’s already talk of something even bigger than an RTX 5090! In fact, a ‘spy’ photo of a card equipped with a GB202-200-A1 GPU is circulating on the ChipHell forum. This could lead to a resurrection of the RTX Titan range, as the chip present in the RTX 5090 is far from complete. As you can see, there’s still plenty of room for improvement!
RTX Titan: NVIDIA has room to manoeuvre!
Well, in this photo, most of which has been blurred for reasons of anonymity and job preservation, we see a card whose GPU is a GB202-200-A1. This may seem insignificant, but it’s not the same GPU that’s at work in the RTX 5090. No, NVIDIA’s top-of-the-range card uses a GB202-400-A1, which isn’t quite the same thing.
What’s more, like the RTX 4090, the 5090 doesn’t make full use of its GPU either. In fact, the GB202, in its full version, offers a total of 192 SM, i.e. a total of 24,576 cuda cores. However, the current flagship of the range has 170 SM and 21,760 cuda core.
Furthermore, if such a GPU were to arrive on the market, there would be no difference in terms of VRAM, since the 5090 already uses a 512-bit interface and also has the 88 MB of L2 cache possible. However, the Chameleon could opt for faster GDDR7 chips with models grinding at 32 Gbps, which would contribute to a bandwidth of 2 TB/s.
In short, to power such a GPU, as we can see, you’d need two 12V-2×6 connectors. In fact, the current RTX 5090 already boasts a TDP of 575W, so if we switch to a version with a higher cuda core, power consumption is likely to rise. Especially as we’re talking about an RTX Titan and not an RTX 6000 Ada professional sauce card, whose TDPs are lowered by very conservative frequencies in particular.
The question now is whether NVIDIA will launch such a project. In the past, we’ve had numerous leaks suggesting that a card bigger than the RTX 4090 might well see the light of day, but that wasn’t the case. Here, we simply have to see if the company would gain. And with the competition totally absent in this sector… It’s a long shot, but it could be wrong.
