Nvidia RTX 4090 Ti has been scrapped according to leaker
Known leaker Kopite7kimi has surfaced again with a new rumor that the 4090 Ti has been canceled by Nvidia.
Rumored to be launching in the next few months, theRTX 4090 Tihas apparently been shelved in favor of focusing on the next generation.Kopite7kimiis a renowned insider in the industry, with a history of impressively accurate leaks.
In two tweets, they have stated that the4090 Tihas been canceled by Nvidia, as well as hinting at the potential power of anRTX 5090.
Nvidia canceling the RTX 4090 Ti is a surprise, as the company often releases souped-up versions of their flagship cards as stop gaps.
The company’s 3090 Ti was lauded for actually bringing even more power to the table. The RTX40-series, however, hasn’t been the best received.
Its midrange options arecriticizedfor not offering enough of ajump in power, while theflagshipsaretoo expensivein comparison to the last generation. However, despite its price tag, the 4090 has been seeing a surprising price cut at Micro Center fairly recently.
Nvidia’s 40-series generation of cards has already seen one card unlaunched after the announcement, with the 4080 12GB modelpulled before releaseafter a negative reaction.
Nvidia 5090 could theoretically be twice as powerful as the 4090
It could be that Nvidia is planning to ride out the wave until they have a card that knocks the leading GPU, the 4090, out of the water. This is a very real possibility, as Kopite states that the next-generation GPU will feature a 512-bit bus.
Current rumors suggest that Nvidia andAMDare looking at GDDR7 VRAM for their next-generation GPUs. By allowing for the full potential of the RAM, at 32Gbps on the 512-bit bus, would double the power to a theoretical 2TB/s of bandwidth.
