[@Lady_Zenith]

You forgot one important thing. The Pascal and Turing titans had Quadro OpenGL features. If you were using CAD based software they were really good deal, especially the Titan RTX with its 24GB, that one still is. Unfortunately with the removal of Titan name, those features and production software optimizations went away. The 3090 no longer had them, it was no longer "semi-profi" card. Even tho Nvidia tried to market it that way. And TBH those features were added for the Pascall and Turing cards retroactively, same with freesync support. They were a reaction to the 16GB Vega frontier edition.

The pro driver support and saved money by not having to buy the quadro cards should not be underestimated. That made the cards a real deal.

Was super close to buying one second hand a few months ago for an ITX B450 build. I genuinely love the look of Founder's Edition Pascal cards and wanted a former Pascal Halo product. Ended up getting a blower RTX 3070 instead for just a bit more. I'd still love these to get a new lease on life with some thermal paste/pad reapplication and some FSR love too. They're still great hardware, even if long in the tooth.

[@iancalandro8180]

God the Titans had such confusing naming, especially with the X Titans. I have seen so many pieces of tech journalism get this wrong. For those who are still confused: - The Titan X was released in 2015 and was based off the Maxwell 2.0 architecture. It's a little better than a 980 ti. - The Titan X Pascal was released in 2016 and was based off the Pascal architecture. It's slightly slower than the 1080 ti. - The Titan XP was released in 2017 (after the 1080 ti came around and made the Titan X Pascal stupid) and was based off the Pascal architecture. It's slightly more powerful than the 1080 ti, and contains a complete GP102 die. Titans are weird. There are other anomalies such as the Titan V (which was based off the Volta architecture, which is a deep-learning architecture that never made it to gaming, and was basically made to beta-test RTX and tensor cores) and the Titan Z (which was two Titan Blacks on a single PCB).

[@LawrenceTimme]

A titan v had hbm and not rtx. The rtx titan which came after had rtx and was like a 2080ti with more vram.

[@redslate]

Yeah, shit was confusing as fuck! Two "Titan X"s, so gamers informally referred to the 2016 card as "X(P)" only for Nvidia to release the "Xp" a year later. 🤬 Also "Z" preceeding "X" and "V" made *zero* sense. Only the "V" actually ever _stood_ for anything (Volta).

Didnt last long till the Xp arrived but it would be very rare to find that GPU in the second hand market.

[@thomasschraubt7497]

They got the professional drivers though. For anybody into this it was a bargain because they avoided the Quadro prices.

[@redslate]

People were pissed! Only a few months prior, 1080 owners had paid just $100 less than what the 1080Ti launched at, *and* they were forced to watch the MSRP of their cards depreciate $100 _on_ _top_ _of_ _that_ to remain marketable. Titan owners had paid *hundreds* of dollars more for what was effectively 'timed exclusivity' to have bragging rights on "the most powerful gaming GPU," only to see that title trounced by a card that cost 40% less. AMD had been overhyping the shit out of its next GPU at the time (which ironically led to Nvidia's knee-jerk 1080Ti in the first place), leaving AMD fanatics depressed as all hell, because nothing even came _close_ to the high-end of Nvidia's 10-Series at the time. Eventually, early 1080 owners got a rebate of sorts, but Titan owners with more money than sense were either stuck holding the 'old maid' or forced to shame upgrade (at full retail) to the Titan Xp (2017) or Titan V (2017) for marginal performance gains.

[@droptoasterintub297]

I own a TITAN Xp. It was, and still is, a great graphics card if you can get one for the right price. I snagged mine on eBay for just very slightly more than a 1080 Ti when Ampere and RDNA 2 was unobtanium at the time. For 1080p gaming, it's still very plenty even for high FPS gaming in most games. I did upgrade to a 1440p 165Hz display, however, and decided it was probably a good idea to upgrade to something faster like the 3080 12 GB. If it weren't for that, I would've probably still been using it to this day. I'll never get rid of it like the last owner did as Pascal was a legendary GPU lineup.

i just built my first pc and was able to get one for $150. i’ll prolly upgrade in a year or 2 but the only issue i’ve had with it is it doesn’t cool very well. other than that it gives me more than enough frames and is powerful enough to run any game i play.

Ah, the TITAN, a name that never carried with it much meaning, seeing as it was given to whatever nvidia could expect to sell at exorbitant prices *cough cough* TITAN X Pascal *cough cough* , but it sure as hell carried with it some insane performance. Back when I got into computer hardware, the TITAN Xp was *the* card, the fastest, most expensive "consumer" grade card, so it obviously made me dream about having such a thing. And, for a card 6 years old now, I'd say that if I were to have my dream fulfilled back then, I would be happy with it to this very day. Regardless of my dreams and past memories, it's still very cool to see what yesterday's best can do today. Maybe one day you can do a video like this for the TITAN RTX?

I just gave up using my GTX 1080. That was one of the best graphics cards investments I ever made. Got it at MSRP during the Bitcoin mining craze.

[@caprature]

At one point the Titan had a vastly improved FP64 over the contemporary cards. I wish Nvidia kept this trend. For certain workloads it was huge. The titan Z was one of these examples. Close to 4TFlops of FP64. Where as the Titan Xp only managed 300 Gflops or so. It would be interesting to test a titan Z in compute loads in 2023. For reference the Titan Z is equivalent on paper to double a RTX 4090 in FP64!

[@ProjectPhysX]

Good old Kepler! The high-end GK110 Kepler GPUs had a 1:3 FP64:FP32 ratio. One Nvidia GPU generation was enough to seed the wrong myth that Quadro GPUs had better FP64. Maxwell/Pascal/Turing dropped it to 1:32 for all segments, GeForce, Quadro, Tesla and Titan. Ampere/Ada dropped it further to 1:64, basically only keeping it for compatibility reasons. FP64-capable GPUs have become a rarity, today it's only a few of the the super expensive datacenter models, and some rare exceptions. All existing GPUs with >2 TFlops in FP32 are these, in descending order: MI250(X), H100 (NVL), MI210, A100, CMP 70HX, MI100, A30, V100(S), Titan V, GV100, MI60, MI50, Radeon Pro VII, GP100, P100, Radeon VII, W9100, W8100 Best cheap options today are Radeon VII (driver-limited to 1:4), and Radeon Pro VII or MI50/60 on the used market.

[@mttrashcan-bg1ro]

I remember the Titan X Maxwell being a pretty good card as it had double the Vram of the 980Ti, which at the time, in 2015, that 6gb vs 12gb was a joke. The price was also a bit extreme, but hey, the Titan offered something over the 80Ti. The Titan RTX as well, had 24gb vs the 2080Ti's 11gb which means today the Titan RTX would still be pretty good to use only 4 years on. The problem with the Titan RTX and the 2080Ti is the price increase of Turing cards meant the 2080Ti was essentially the Titan and the Titan RTX was just a gold bar you could put in your PC. Still crazy to think that even though my 4090 is technically the Titan of the 40 series, it's still got stuff cut down from it to the point it's technically not qualifying of the Titan name, and it's probably why the 4090 and 3090 exist.

Hey, I used to have one of these. One helluva potent DX12 GPU right here. Got mine for a song back in 2020 during the height of the cryptoboom/GPU shortage.

Im still gaming my Titan Xp, hell of a card. Going to upgrade to a 4090 soon

[@dragonsyph2557]

That CPU was choking that Titan in a few games, OUCH. And it seems like your GPU is faulty to began with. So are the tests valid?

[@CraigMarsden-c2d]

Mocking anyone who bought a Titan XP in 2017 may be a 'bad look', but it still feels very satisfying.

The 90/90ti class has replaced the titan class

[@denikec]

FSR3 will be a game changer for these cards. You could add FSR framegen testing for these old cards as an experiment

[@glown2533]

got this gpu when the 2080 came out got it for a grand and still have it to this day even after upgrading everything else

[@vigorgaming8]

still using my 1080Ti with 2 GHz core clock and 6000 MHz memory clock it's a ROG Strix OC version with my OC +63MHz on core and +481MHz on mem clock.

Still think it was Nvidias best looking GPU ever made

[@AddRest2cold]

Damn! I remeber Titan series being the best back in the day

11:13 smooth transition

[@MrPrinceofallsaiyan]

That thing runs hot!

I can say that I was pretty happy with the GTX 1070 I had, and I was blown away how well it was holding up to modern titles at 1920x1080. I now have an RTX 2080 Super and I can say I am extremely happy with it at both 1920x1080 and 2560x1440 resolutions in all the games I play. The friend of mine that bought my AMD Ryzen 5 1600X and Zotac GTX 1070 to upgrade from the machine he built in 2010, he currently has Forza Horizon 5 running at all high settings, with 2x TAA at 1920x1080 and gets between 90-135 FPS, and I have to say the game still looks better than Forza Horizon 4 running on my machine with everything cranked running on my RTX 2080 Super at 120-150 FPS. I am impressed at how well that old 8GB card is still holding up and it will soon be getting pushed to its limits with Cyberpunk 2077 patch 2.0. I am curious to see the performance on that card now compared to when Cyberpunk released.

Its worth noting that your 1080 Ti was likely able to maintain higher clocks due to its cooling solution being way superior to the TITAN Xp's founders edition shroud. Seeing as the launch benchmarks show the 2017 Xp being about 8% faster on average than a FE 1080 Ti, I reckon a better cooling solution would eliminate the thermal throttling of the Titan and give its slight lead back.
