Recently, the usual Twitter suspects had another 
the new sighting of an upcoming Nvidia RTX 4090 Ti, or TITAN graphics card.
The four-slot design is unusually lush and is also said to be extremely power hungry with 600W. At least the originally speculated 900W seems to be off the table.
An upcoming RTX 4090 Ti / Titan will definitely turn out very "lush".
However, the elephant in the room is the memory configuration. If it remains at 24 gigabytes, the card is unlikely to be worth an update from the current RTX 4090 (which is also equipped with 24 GB of memory). For video editing, this is usually also completely sufficient.
For upcoming AI applications, however, more memory is extremely advantageous, which Nvidia currently also pays off in gold - every GPU with more than 24 GB of RAM costs significantly more. If Nvidia were to offer a RTX 4090 Ti or TIitan with 48 gigabytes soon, they would cannibalize their own high-priced AI cards.
On the other side lurks AMD, which could already exploit Nvidia's memory stinginess in the gaming sector for marketing purposes. And their AI software stack has been rapidly expanded for a few months. Should AMD gain a foothold in AI applications soon, their graphics cards with more memory could be particularly dangerous to Nvidia and quickly make a 48 GB option a reality.
However, the introduction of an RTX 4090 Ti or Titan still seems a long way off...
