Images of an unreleased NVIDIA GeForce RTX 4090 Ti engineering sample have surfaced online via the Chinese marketplace Goofish. The leaked prototype board matches long rumored specifications, packing 18176 CUDA cores and 24GB of high speed memory. Physical design elements indicate this specific board was prepared for third party partner models rather than NVIDIA's own Founders Edition release.
The hardware appeared through images posted by Goofish user yoyotaolailou. Diagnostic software GPU Z identifies the graphics card directly as a GeForce RTX 4090 Ti. The utility reports 18176 CUDA cores alongside a 384 bit memory bus and 24GB of VRAM running at 24 Gbps. The printed circuit board matches the traces and layouts seen on retail third party RTX 4090 cards currently sold by manufacturing partners.
The display output connectors on this prototype use a traditional horizontal placement. Earlier prototype leaks of the RTX 4090 Ti Founders Edition featured vertically stacked display ports to accommodate NVIDIA's experimental 4 slot cooler. The horizontal layout on this board indicates that graphics card partners were developing their own custom cooling designs for the chip before NVIDIA cancelled the release.
