Oh dear, what were they thinking with that name. First they released the Maxwell-based GTX Titan X, then replaced it with the Pascal-based Nvidia Titan X which nearly everyone called the Titan XP to disambiguate the confusingly similar names, and now Nvidia goes and uses that universally accepted nickname as an actual product name for a different product.
- jandrese 10y agoEven more confusing: In the picture the shroud is labeled "TITAN X".
- jd20 10y agoThey were probably thinking next year, they can call the new one Titan XPP. Historically, their naming conventions for GeForce cards haven't been super consistent either.
- errantspark 10y agoReally? The first number is always the major release and the second number is always the line from what I can recall? It's pretty high up there in terms of naming consistency.
- sspiff 10y agoExcept for rebranded chips/cards.
- problems 10y agoAs far as I know most of the rebranded ones will still list the Nvidia model number. Check https://www.newegg.com/Product/ProductList.aspx?N=100007709%20601201888&IsNodeId=1&Submit=ENE https://www.newegg.com/Product/ProductList.aspx?N=100007709%... for instance. While some have their own separate model, it's not usually what people buying the card look at.
- sspiff 10y agoI don't mean that kind of branding, I mean the kind of rebranding where for example the take the same chip that's in a GTX 680, and re-release it as a GTX 770.
- nsxwolf 10y agoThey should have gone with the great Apple/Nintendo naming convention of "The New Titan X"
- frankchn 10y agoI would have preferred the Microsoft naming convention of "Titan XP SP2"
- ReverseCold 10y agoRazer too. Makes it great for selling old laptops for the same price as the new one.
- overcast 10y agoSuper Titan X
- problems 10y agoThey should really stick with their standard naming convention and just call it a 1090 or a 1080 Titan or something - all the information is there, you know what generation it's from and you know where it stands in the product lineup. No confusing "which Titan X do you mean".
- m_mueller 10y agoNvidia has a history with names. Remember when they used "Tesla" to both call a microarchitecture and their HPC line of cards, for which it's still used? When Fermi based Tesla cards came out, everyone was saying 'huh, wait what'?
