NVIDIA is preparing a new TITAN RTX graphics card that will feature a triple-fan setup, according to hardware leaker @kopite7kimi, who took to Twitter yesterday and claimed that the alleged renders of the flagship GPU that have been going around, which show it as having dual 16-pin power connectors and a quad-slot design, are “totally fake.”
“Totally fake,” @kopite7kimi stated in a tweet dated December 22 before suggesting that the TITAN RTX doesn’t look anything like that in reality, with a chief reason being that it actually has three fans.
Totally fake. The Titan doesn't look like this. It has three fans.

The source of the renders has sworn on his life that they are genuine, but if @kopite7kimi turns out to be correct, enthusiasts can probably expect a new TITAN RTX graphics card that not only boasts extreme performance but a more unique shroud and heat sink, unlike the existing GeForce RTX 40 Series, whose Founders Editions feature a dual-fan cooling solution and look largely similar to their Ampere-based predecessors.
NVIDIA has released eight TITAN graphics cards in its history thus far, including the GTX TITAN (2013) and, most recently, the TITAN RTX, which the company launched in December 2018 for $2,499.
“NVIDIA TITAN RTX is designed for researchers, developers and creators,” reads a description for the Turing flagship with golden shroud. “It’s powered by Turing architecture, bringing 130 Tensor TFLOPs of performance, 576 tensor cores, and 24 GB of ultra-fast GDDR6 memory to your PC.”
“TITAN RTX powers AI, machine learning, and creative workflows,” NVIDIA said of the GPU.
It’s unclear how much the new TITAN RTX might cost, but NVIDIA’s current GeForce flagship, the GeForce RTX 4090, already has a starting price of $1,599.

Join Discussion →Everyone pretty much knows there will be something coming out to succeed the 4090. NV left enough unused on the die to be obvious with the usual ~10% gain left to be had. A number of us though have already been wondering if it marks the return of the Titan or is another Ti. I recommend they stick with Ti if the rumors about the gains for the 50 series are to be believed because it used to be that if you had a Titan it wasn't just automatically dethroned with the next x80 or x90 release. If they do a Titan it should be a bit more exceptional than a mere ~10% improvement over the current x90.
Huh ... In my mind I always equated a Titan with "two GPUS linked by internal SLI on one board." Maybe that's how they started, and the boards have always been beyond my budget and use case so I never looked into them any further.
There was GTX 490/590/690/790 that did that and then this:

It was $8K before 8k. lol!
Was the Titan W ever released? I've never seen that card. I'm assuming it's two Titan V (V100 GPU)?

It was posted on April 1. That's an april fools joke. lmao

I believe they did dual cards before the 490 and named them something X2. Pretty sure I had one, can't remember what it was though, 9800GX2 I think? Card ran super hot, but if you could get the cooling in check it was pretty strong for it's day.
So, its Turing, not Ada Lovelace.
Interesting.
The Titan hasnt been a gaming product for some time now. I expect it to have super crazy Enterprise pricing and not even have game optimized drivers.
