NVIDIA Reportedly Axes GeForce RTX 4090 Ti, Rumored To Launch New RTX 4070 & RTX 4060 GPUs
NVIDIA is rumored to have canceled plans to launch its GeForce RTX 4090 Ti GPU but is said to unveil new RTX 4070 & RTX 4060 series cards.
The rumor comes from leaker, Kopite7kimi, who has been accurate on several leaks in the past. According to his latest tweet, it looks like NVIDIA might have canceled plans to launch a GeForce RTX 4090 Ti GPU which was meant to utilize a higher-end AD102 "Ada" chip offering more cores and faster clocks.
I'm afraid there won't be RTX 4090 Ti anymore. Some low-grade AD103 and AD106 chips will be another versions of RTX 4070 and 4060.

The AD103 GPU can allow for higher cores and memory configurations for the RTX 4070 series.
Meanwhile, the new RTX 4060 AD106 variant can be either a higher-end configuration than the RTX 4060 Ti which features a slightly cut-down AD106 GPU, or a cut-down version that replaces the RTX 4060 8 GB with a higher number of cores. Or it could simply be that NVIDIA is using AD106 dies for its RTX 4060 GPU which is currently based on the AD107 GPU.
It will be interesting to see if the duo comes to retail but as we have seen before, NVIDIA tends to validate several GPU configurations prior to their release to see their feasibility in the retail market. These plans may be relevant now but the company can change them anytime. So even if there are reports of the RTX 4090 Ti, we could still see a
