In the era of Ada Lovelace, NVIDIA had intended to roll out two top-tier graphics cards: the gaming-focused RTX 4090 Ti and the professional-oriented Titan Ada. However, for a variety of internal and external reasons, neither card made it to an official launch. Recently, tech enthusiasts have shared real-life photos, internal architecture details, and GPU-Z identification information of the Titan Ada prototype card, giving us a comprehensive look at its design features.

This graphics card sports a quad-slot thickness, making it bulkier than the RTX 4090 Founders Edition. It comes with a fully unlocked AD102 core, packing 18,432 CUDA cores, and a massive 48GB of GDDR6 VRAM, made possible by a dual-sided PCB layout. It also features a 384-bit memory interface and delivers an impressive 864GB/s bandwidth.

The cooling system is designed to handle up to 900W of power consumption. It has an open-grid structure with triple fans, and the metal frame is adorned with the 'TITAN' logo. For power connections, it uses dual 16-pin 12VHPWR connectors, theoretically capable of supplying up to 1200W (though the actual limit is set at 900W).

Performance-wise, testing in 3DMark Time Spy Extreme shows a 15% score increase over the RTX 4090, albeit with 14% higher power consumption. In gaming scenarios, the actual power draw in Remnant 2 was 10% greater than that of the RTX 4090. However, testing in Cyberpunk 2077 couldn't be completed due to driver compatibility issues.

The reason for its unreleased status may be attributed to potential positioning clashes with professional cards like the RTX 6000 Ada, as well as challenges related to yield rates and market positioning, which ultimately led to the project's cancellation.
