Would Nvidia have been better off keeping the Titan name for the 3090?
People are getting their knickers in a twist thinking that it’s a gaming GPu at a ridiculous price, when it’s clearly not. It could also have led to more sales as psychologically people will think “WOW! I’m getting a Titan for £1500”, rather than lumping them in with the standard range.
They even list Studio Drivers support for it on the specs sheet at the NVIDIA website.
I think they're being cheeky with the name.
People that need a gaming card with more than 10GB VRAM are going to look at the 3090, and go "Wow almost a titan, at half the price".
The rest are going to fume over it, and get the 3080, and upgrade next to the 3080Ti 20GB dueto VRAM limits, and finally having a "decent priced" high end card.
