Why NVIDIA Skipped a Whole Graphics Card Series!

"Nvidia can be difficult with the naming"
Intel with their new cpus💀💀💀

[AMIRU]

if Nvidia is confusing then intel is using Keplerian language to name their cpu's

[BjornsTIR]

GTX 295, 590 and 690 also were multichip cards, two 80-class dies running SLI on a single board.

Titan cards were not advertised for gaming, they were for workstation/creative use. 690 was dual chip, 3090 and 4090 are "titan" class but are for gaming

[Sevvi]

A better question: Why didn't Nvidia make a 2660, 3660 and 4660?!? LOVE the 1660 models.

[felipenachmanowicz]

The GTX 690 was actually a SLI (two video chips) on a single card. I owned it, and it was a pain in the ass. The performance would be AMAZING on the very very very rare game that scaled performance decently. And that rare coveted performance would never be available at launch, the waiting game for patches with decent SLI support was always an excruciating one.

[legomaniac]

The 90 series cards way back in the day where dual gpu cards with built in SLI bridges and as SLI and Crossfire where being phased out so where the dual gpu cards

[TheDarkKratoz]

There was also the fact that Nvidia only ran the Titan cards when there was no competition from AMD for the top card. This changed with the RX 6000/RTX 3000 series, and to avoid having a Titan as the second most powerful GPU on the market, they abandoned the name.

[ChuckV]

It’s probably some of the most strait forward naming in the computer industry

[Tonka-z]

And the Titan card is really special because is mostly not just a high end gpus like the 90 series but a powerful calculator for complex floating numbers

[scoopstacey]

Can't sleep on the 780ti. It was a huge upset when that card came out and rivaled the titan that came out just a few months before. All at a much lower cost.

[HardwareHoehle]

Btw the old 90 Cards like the GTX 590 and 690 were SLI'd GTX 580 /680's and the Titan cards were the flagship/entusiast cards, but Nvidia introduced the 3090 for some reason :)

[Jennacide.]

If they stop the naming scheme before the 6090 ti, I.
'm gonna cry

[ryalz_rbe]

I like the Titan card naming scheme more than the 90 series cards tbh. Made the top of the line sound that much cooler.

[RobloxianX]

The Titan is either seen as a 90 tier with productivity or just a base model Quadro. But it basically was a base model Quadro since back before the 700 series, 90 tier meant two 80 tiers on one GPU PCB

[Jatinmak]

I remembered when the 20 series launched, everyone thought the top-tier card was the 2080, and the Titan was only for editing purposes. 😂

[Levithos]

Didn't help that the Titan cards were difficult to tell apart from just the official name.

[pixelomega]

Titan V and Titan RTX are 2 of my most favorite cards. Especially RTX as I think it’s genuinely the most beautiful gpu ever made

[jovan_spasovic]

90 series used to be a multichip model, now 90 seires means the highest end they have for consumer PCs

[maccollo]

I think Nvidia just figured out that calling the highest tier card the xx90 was just better for sales.
