Nvidia may have an RTX Titan graphics card inbound with its next-gen Blackwell line-up, if a brand new rumor is true.
This comes from RedGamingTech (RGT) on YouTube, who claims an RTX Titan AI is within the works, and that rivalry is backed up by one other well-known leaker, Kopite7kimi (on X, as you may see beneath).
RGT additionally brings us efficiency uplift estimates for the RTX 5000 vary, and based on the YouTuber, the RTX Titan AI for Blackwell might be 63% sooner than the present flagship GPU, the RTX 4090. (Maintain a eager sense of skepticism round all this data, by the best way – together with the potential existence of a Titan – and because the leaker observes, Nvidia’s next-gen graphics card configurations may nonetheless be altered earlier than launch, even on this comparatively late stage within the growth course of).
RGT additionally tells us that the RTX 5090 might be a 48% uplift over the 4090, and the RTX 5080 might be round 29% faster than the RTX 4080 Tremendous. Equally, the RTX 5070 will apparently be 26% sooner in comparison with the RTX 4070 Tremendous.
The approximate 50% efficiency uplift for the RTX 5090 is notably lower than another rumors – which have advised an as much as 70% efficiency increase – however most hypothesis has landed within the 50% to 70% space, so it’s in step with what we’ve beforehand been primed to anticipate.
What we don’t know, because the leaker admits, is whether or not that is primarily based on only one benchmark or some type of common – the figures had been simply introduced to RGT as is. Due to this fact, whether it is only a single benchmark (possibly an artificial one), we have to add much more seasoning.
What’s made clear is that these are estimates for rasterization efficiency, that means ‘regular’ rendering versus ray tracing. Within the case of the latter, Nvidia’s RTX 5000 graphics playing cards will enlarge leaps in efficiency (which we’d anticipate, in equity – ray tracing may be very a lot Group Inexperienced’s power, and an space it’s eager to push laborious with).

Evaluation: Titanic ambitions?
If the RTX Titan AI is certainly actual, it’ll use the identical GB202 chip because the RTX 5090, however the Titan may have the complete quantity of CUDA Cores enabled (whereas as we’ve already heard by way of the rumor mill, the 5090 is ready to chop down the complete depend a bit). Odds are the Titan would even have a wider reminiscence bus (512-bit, somewhat than the rumored 448-bit within the RTX 5090) and extra VRAM (possibly an entire lot extra). As RGT contends, this can make it round 10% sooner than the RTX 5090.
Though you may guess it’ll be greater than 10% costlier than the 5090, assured – this might be one eye-wateringly priced graphics card, if it emerges. Certainly, the RTX 5090 is already rumored to be notching up the price of a flagship Nvidia GPU from the extent the 4090 reached.
After all, if the concept of an RTX Titan AI has you excited, bear in mind – it’s not a gaming graphics card, or that’s not what it’s constructed for anyway, because the ‘AI’ identify makes clear. Whereas it is perhaps the quickest client desktop GPU, it’s aimed toward skilled utilization, and might be loaded up with VRAM to swimsuit the likes of creatives, and extra heavyweight duties like rendering.
Nevertheless, whereas it isn’t a GeForce gaming GPU by design, that gained’t cease PC players choosing it up for bragging rights because the quickest desktop graphics card on the market – even when the outlay for a bit of additional gaming pep gained’t make any sense in any respect, worth proposition-wise.
The RTX Titan AI for Blackwell might not occur anyway – even when the leak is actual, this might be Nvidia toying with the idea, as occurred with the present Lovelace technology. In case you recall, an RTX 4090 Ti (or Tremendous) and new Titan had been rumored considerably, and as VideoCardz (which noticed the above video and tweet) identified, there have been even prototype designs for the latter.
Briefly, we stay fairly skeptical, if solely as a result of we’re unsure Nvidia will discover house in its next-gen GPU line-up for such a Titan, when it probably already has a lot on the menu for highly effective AI graphics playing cards primarily based on Blackwell – and there’s solely a lot silicon to go spherical.
