Der8auer says this GPU has a 450W TGP, despite the dual 12V-2×6 design, and that’s probably a limitation of the vBIOS used. The driver used dates back to 2023, but the YouTuber didn’t provide further details, likely to protect their sources.
In 3DMark Time Spy Extreme, the RTX Titan Ada beats the RTX 4090 by 15% (139.3 vs 121.3), while consuming 14% (443W vs 388W) more power. Meanwhile, the RTX 5090 is 11% faster than the RTX Titan Ada, but consumes 21% more power. Near-linear scaling at this power draw is quite impressive for the Titan Ada. This suggests the GPU still has some performance headroom available and might be able to match the RTX 5090 in some tests if it benefitted from proper vBIOS and driver support.
3DMark Speedway was less impressive, scoring 7% faster than the RTX 4090, with the RTX 5090 ahead by 33%. Remnant 2 at 4K Max sees the Titan Ada pull ahead of the RTX 4090 by 10%, still 14% behind the RTX 5090, but that’s still a commendable result. Much of the same story repeats in Cyberpunk 2077. Other games were accompanied by crashes and weird anomalies due to the drivers. In efficiency (FPS per Watt), the Titan Ada beats both the RTX 5090 and the RTX 4090, albeit by a small margin.
Overall, this was an impressive showcase for what could’ve been the fastest RTX 40 series GPU. Manufacturing costs were likely the primary reason this GPU didn’t see the light of day, as there can only be so many perfect AD102 dies (609mm2) with no defects. The RTX Titan Ada was never a practical GPU, considering the workstation-oriented RTX 6000 Ada, which used a partially disabled AD102 chip (142/144 SMs), cost between $7,000 – $10,000. Either the RTX Titan would’ve been more expensive than this, which is unlikely since the RTX Titan (Turing) launched at $2,500, or it would’ve hurt Nvidia’s workstation GPU sales.
