Rumors are swirling about a potential new graphics card from a prominent provider, allegedly built around the forthcoming Blackwell GPU, which could signal the resurrection of the Titan brand following Nvidia’s decision to omit an RTX 40 series Ada Lovelace GPU variant bearing that moniker?
Will likely be a guaranteed top performer upon release, building on the legacy of its predecessor Titan, which set the bar high as the fastest variant of its generation at launch.
The rumor originates from YouTube tech leaker RedGamingTech, corroborated by prominent Nvidia graphics leaker @kopitekimi on Twitter, who has also served as a sole source for leaks to RedGamingTech. Despite the details of the leak remaining unclear, it’s reported that Nvidia is working not only on an RTX 4090 replacement but also a significantly more powerful variant dubbed the Titan or Titan AI.
Not only do we have an obvious title for this card, but RedGamingTech also provides a performance chart for the new cards, indicating that the RTX 5090 will be 48% faster than the RTX 4090 and the Titan AI will be 63% faster than the RTX 4090. While rumors have hinted at a roughly 50% increase in CUDA cores for Nvidia’s new flagship, the 48% distinction for the RTX 5090 marks the first credible mention of a significant performance boost in the card.
While there appears to be scope for a new Titan that leverages slightly larger Blackwell GPU dies than the RTX 5090, but not as much as those destined for AI servers, uncertainty surrounds whether Nvidia would consider releasing such a product. Rumors had suggested a Titan based on the current Ada architecture was in development, but it seems Nvidia ultimately decided against launching it due to the raw power and market dominance of the RTX 4090? When the RTX 5000 series debuts, the landscape is unlikely to undergo a significant transformation.
One concern @kopitekimi alludes to in their posts on X is whether Titan, which is based on Ada Lovelace’s concept, will actually be marketed and utilized in the industry.
One certainty is that a select few will undoubtedly go to great lengths to acquire the speediest gaming GPU available, willing to part with significant sums of money in pursuit of their goal. Though eager to upgrade, players must weigh the pros and cons of waiting for potential new GPU releases versus settling for a lower-performance option like the RTX 5090.
It’s widely speculated that NVIDIA will release the highly anticipated RTX 5090 and RTX 5080 GPUs in 2025, further solidifying their dominance in the field of graphics processing units. While rumors swirl around AMD’s upcoming RDNA 4 flagship GPU, whispers suggest a potentially underwhelming performance compared to the RX 7900 XTX – a prospect that’s certainly disheartening for enthusiasts.
