NVIDIA’s GeForce RTX 4090 Ti GPU has once again made its presence felt online, but this time in the form of an unreleased monster IO bracket.
NVIDIA’s canceled GeForce RTX 4090 Ti “PG136F” GPU was going to be the flagship Ada GPU until it disappeared
Ahead of the launch of the NVIDIA GeForce RTX 40 “Ada” GPU lineup, there was a lot of talk about certain flagship graphics cards that have never seen the light of day or been released to the market until today. This graphics card was going to be a GeForce RTX 4090 Ti.
The NVIDIA GeForce RTX 4090 Ti graphics card was expected to take full advantage of the extremely binned AD102 GPU with a very high power rating. There were reports that this card would eventually feature a quad-slot cooling solution, but those were used during the prototyping stage. Both the RTX 4090 and RTX 4090 Ti were initially tested using very non-traditional cooling and PCB solutions that never made it to market, but the upcoming RTX 50 graphics card It may be adopted in some way.
Well, @Harukz5719 spotted the listing on Taobao, a third-party seller in China. This is reportedly the IO bracket belonging to this unannounced GeForce RTX 4090 Ti graphics card. The I/O bracket says “GeForce RTX 4090 Ti” and the model number is “PG136F”.
This model is not used in any of the released GeForce RTX 40 graphics cards, but most interestingly, contrary to rumors, the Ti model will feature a 3-slot cooling solution like the RTX 4090 and RTX 4080. That means they would have done so. This is the same IO bracket used on the other two high-end cards, with a large exhaust vent on the back and cutouts for four display outputs, one HDMI, and three DP 1.4.
The listing states that the NVIDIA GeForce RTX 4090 Ti will be equipped with 48 GB of GDDR6X VRAM, but MegaSizeGPU notes that the specifications for this card were not finalized and it was ultimately canceled due to new US regulations. states that it was done.
I don’t think it reached the final specs, but if it exists, it’s most likely 24G.

This means we’ll never know what the RTX 4090 Ti will be or if it was ever going to be available to users, but it will only be remembered as one of the many unreleased cards that never made it to market. But obviously there was a good reason. .
