Is Nvidia tricking us with card designations?

[kazuya1337]

If we look back at Nvidia's card release strategy we normally get a vanilla high end card and a Titan card then a few months we get the Ti version which is a cheaper slimmed down Titan with very similar performance.

Now with the RTX cards they dropped the Ti straight away making some people claim this generation is just a stop gap but the glaring issue is where is the Titan and in my mind it's right in front of us the 2080-Ti is the Titan which makes me think if Nvidia are rebranding the Titan as Ti's what will the Ti become and will we see a 2080-S or something drop in a few months and if this does happen how many customers have been mislead into purchasing a Titan at Titan prices believing it to be a Ti and another card isn't imminent.

The titan will be 7nm refresh at around £1600+ if the current prices stick once the 10 series has finally gone. I'm sure the new cards are selling well so Nvidia know the ceiling has yet to be reached

I doubt the 2080ti is the new titan.. It looks like a cut down gpu. I think they are keeping the titan as an ace in their sleeves should they need it. What for i have no idea.

2080 Ti is definitely a cut down card, there is even room on the PCB for an extra memory chip.

NVidia will do a Titan at some point with 12gb of GDDR6, 384bit bus and 4608 Cuda cores, it is only a matter of time.

It could just be that yields are so bad (the 2080Ti is huge), that they are slowly building up volume for a Titan T.

I would not be surprised if nVidia release the "Titan Xt" with the full 4608 cores as on the Quadro RTX 6000 and Quadro RTX 8000 but with cut down memory/TMU/ROP.

I fully expect to see a Titan card at some point.

The issue is Turing will be a short lived product, Nvidia will move to 7nm end of next year. So Nvidia wont be spacing products out, and there likely wont ever be a Titan Turing. the 2080ti has effectively taken the Titan price point. And then their is the Titan Volta if you want a Titan GPU for both gaming and HPC or deep learning.

I also doubt there will be any 2050/60 models, Nvidia will use the Pascal cards as an interim and I think will release 7nm GPUs to fill the low end next summer.

I've completely give up trying to second guess NVidia, they seem to go out of their way to change their line up every generation.

Remember there were 2 pascal Titans, the first one was the same chip as the eventual 1080 ti. The 1060s were named differently to the rest of the line up. There are 2 very different 1030s, 3 different GPUs based on the GP 104 chip... none of which we could have guessed.

And already with turing they are doing things differently. Ti at launch instead of later on, rumor that the 2070 will be a TU 106 instead of a cut down 104 like last gen.

All we can do is wait and see

The fully enabled chips will be going into the professional cards which NVidia have not even got up for pre order yet.

I think Turing will be good for at least 12 months, even if it is possible to go to 7nm I don't think NVidia will. NVidia sometimes prefer to wait rather than jumping on an expensive new tech.

There are also rumours of a new TU106 chip that could power a possible 2060.
