News GeForce RTX 4090 Leaves Plenty of Room for a Future RTX 4090 Ti Flagship

"When Will We See an RTX 3090 Ti?
It appears Nvidia has a lot of performance headroom remaining with its GA102 die, with the potential to create a RTX 4090 Ti that could theoretically smoke the RTX 4090. It would certainly cost a lot more money, and consume way more power than a RTX 4090, but it can be done.

All of this will depend on how hard Nvidia wants to push its GA102 die.."

Slight TYPO error in the article it seems, Aaron ? You obviosuly meant to say the RTX 4090 Ti, and the AD102 die featured in the flagship ADA GPU, instead of the GA102 die and the RTX 3090 Ti ?

Isn't the full AD102 called the RTX 6000 with 48GB of VRAM? See https://www.nvidia.com/en-us/design-visualization/rtx-6000/
That's a pro/workstation card, whereas this article is talking about a potential gaming (Geforce) card. Last generation had both, the RTX A6000 and the Geforce RTX 3090 Ti.

Also, even the Ada RTX 6000 doesn't quite have a fully enabled AD102 die; it has it has 2 SMs disabled.

So for all the applications that are memory and bus constrained, there's not much difference compared to a two year old 3090.

The bigger question is what is happening with DisplayPort 2.0? Intel & AMD are expected to feature it this generation. Crazy that NVIDIA blew it off for 4090 & 4080. If the other two follow through as expected, DP 2.0 monitors and VR goggles can’t be far behind. (Spec has been ratified for over 3 years now). With the demands of high resolutions, refresh rates, & HDR, that’ll put NVIDIA in a tough spot, or 40-series card owners in a tough spot of owning powerful, expensive cards that can’t drive modern displays to their fullest. Compression over 1.4a can only do so much.

Nvidia will release 4000 super cards next year that may have DP2.0 so that people upgrade to that GPU form their 4090!
If you buy 4090 now, buy 4090 super next year and at the end of the next year upgrade it to 4090ti ;)

Plenty of room huh? So what is that talk about BoM when we are not even getting offered the full potential of the chip?
NVidia is just gone mental since 2XXX because of their RT advantage, hope they don't get away with stuff like this.
