Awhile again, across the launch of the GeForce RTX 3090 Ti, Mr. Wallossek over at Igor’s Lab said that he anticipated the boards for the RTX 3090 Ti to be re-used for the next-generation GeForce RTX 4090. People mentioned that was not the case, however we did not have any affirmation on the matter till now.
Trying over the structure, it really is extraordinarily just like the RTX 3090 Ti’s board. The general configuration of energy supply and reminiscence parts is almost equivalent. The NVLink connector on the RTX 3090 Ti carries over to the RTX 4090 PCB, and the quartet of show outputs appears to be the identical, too. Within the high proper of the diagram we see the 16-pin energy connector, which must be the ultimate 12VHPWR plug able to carrying 600 watts.
Igor additionally goes on to notice that he is aware of “reliably” that the add-in card distributors would not have Ada Lovelace silicon but. If his data is correct—and we now have little cause to doubt him—he says that all the testing being completed thus far remains to be utilizing GA102 silicon. He gives a chart that purports to point out the levels of manufacturing a GeForce GPU, and signifies that we’re unlikely to see any actual leaks till the center of July on the earliest.
