I&#8217;m about to go full Danny DeVito and debut my refuse-themed, musical wrestling persona, the Queen of Slop.<\/p>\n<p>Jokes aside, what surfaced on Reddit last year appeared to be a mostly complete prototype, with both the MASSIVE cooler plus the card itself. I say &#8216;appeared&#8217; because <a data-analytics-id=\"inline-link\" href=\"https:\/\/www.reddit.com\/r\/nvidia\/comments\/1gw7b4b\/god_dam_this_thing_is_big\/\" target=\"_blank\">the Reddit post<\/a> including the original photo uploads of the prototype, has since been scrubbed. But fear not! This is far from the final twist in the tale.<\/p>\n<p>Enter tech testing YouTube channel <a data-analytics-id=\"inline-link\" href=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/watch?v=lyliMCnrANI&#038;ab_channel=GamersNexus\" target=\"_blank\">Gamers Nexus<\/a>, who have more recently got their hands on the fabled GPU. After plenty of <a data-analytics-id=\"inline-link\" href=\"https:\/\/www.pcgamer.com\/nvidias-unreleased-quad-slot-rtx-4090-ti-behemoth-smiles-for-the-camera\/\" target=\"_blank\">partial sightings like some kind of cryptid<\/a>, Gamers Nexus not only benchmarked the prototype of what is thought to be the long lost RTX 4090 Ti, but also shared a teardown of the funky, chunky card.<\/p>\n<p>Gamers Nexus first highlighted the hefty GPU&#8217;s somewhat unusual construction, drawing attention to the front, back, and middle fan placements. This not only sucks airflow straight through the card, but also necessitates a more discretely placed PCB. The board in question is a hefty bit of kit too, running along the belly of this absolute beast\u2014and it <em>is <\/em>a beast, measuring 80 mm in width. Getting up close and personal with the PCB reveals a densely packed hotbed of tech, with the central GPU <em>crowded<\/em> by memory and multiple layers of VRAM.<\/p>\n<p>The otherwise pretty unwieldy cooler impressed during thermal benchmarking, keeping the GPU at around 46 \u00b0C, and more than 20 degrees cooler than the <a data-analytics-id=\"inline-link\" href=\"https:\/\/www.pcgamer.com\/nvidia-geforce-rtx-4090-founders-edition-review-performance-benchmarks\/\" target=\"_blank\">actually released Founder&#8217;s Edition RTX 4090<\/a>.<\/p>\n<p>But let&#8217;s get to what we&#8217;re all really here for\u2014the gaming test. The prototype averaged 62 fps for <a data-analytics-id=\"inline-link\" href=\"https:\/\/www.pcgamer.com\/games\/rpg\/black-myth-wukong-review\/\" target=\"_blank\">Black Myth: Wukong<\/a> at 4K with FSR Quality and ray tracing enabled. This was comparable to the retail card Gamers Nexus also tested, the Nvidia RTX 4090 Cybertank, which averaged 65 fps. The gap between the two cards soon widened though; in <a data-analytics-id=\"inline-link\" href=\"https:\/\/www.pcgamer.com\/dying-light-2-stay-human-review\/\" target=\"_blank\">Dying Light 2<\/a> at 4K, the prototype averaged 82.3 fps while the retail model averaged 91.6, and in <a data-analytics-id=\"inline-link\" href=\"https:\/\/www.pcgamer.com\/games\/rpg\/dragons-dogma-2-review\/\" target=\"_blank\">Dragon&#8217;s Dogma 2<\/a> at 4K with ray tracing at max settings, the prototype averaged 76.3 fps while the retail model averaged 84.5.<\/p>\n<p>Though not an awful performance by any means, it&#8217;s an unsurprising performance gap for a somewhat unrefined prototype graphics card\u2014especialy without easily accessible, specific drivers to get the most out of the hardware.<\/p>\n<p>It&#8217;s always interesting to glimpse a road not taken in tech, though the big question mark remains why Nvidia never pushed this prototype into full production.
