Die Shrink 67: Was any Titan really a “Titan”?
Added 2022-02-25 18:00:07 +0000 UTCFrom Titan Maxwell, to Titan Volta - did any of these deserve the name "Titan"? Additionally, we have decent indications that AMD's RDNA 3 flagship will be VERY powerful...and also VERY expensive (for AMD) - how good would it need to be for you to be ok with it being a $2000 - $3000 "Titan Class" product? What level of performance would justify that price?

Titan is like a professional card always but not.

2022-02-25 19:09:14 +0000 UTCI think the premise of your question really hinges on what a "Titan" is to the consumer. If you run AutoCAD or SolidWorks, and you need validated professional drivers, then titan is "high clocked professional card" and it might've made sense. But then if you are a gamer, then Titan is "rich person gaming card" I don't know how much sense it makes. In Sep 2020 when Nvidia called 3090 "titan class" I was thinking it would get the enterprise drivers, but they didn't do that... and as such you've drastically restricted the kinds of jobs who could use it.
