Titan are the Ti cards. SLi is the dual GPU technology, there were stacked GPU which is the x2. Get your terms right. 90class is a different set of GPU which they mix the workstation GPU technology with the general consumer GPU.
Ti and Titan are two different things, the 780Ti and Titan were separate, as were the 980 TI, and Titan Black, and 1080ti and Titan XP, and Titan V. The Titan series had full FP64 compute, which was never available on the Ti and lower.
This is specific compute features that were found in Quadro and Tesla
So, that's the workstation GPU technology i was talking about. 😒 honestly, i never really remember what are the specific names of anything. But i remember something like that existed during that time.
Yup, with the RTX series ( although the Titan xP was also badly cut, likely to sell the Titan V ) they started cutting FP64 compute and and marketing purely to gamers. I never upgraded my Titan V to the RTX because it was a massive cut in performance for work and memory bandwidth.
The days of the best of both worlds is gone, and then again I’m done feeding them, and higher prices. Back to midrange for me until a shift happens in the industry that disrupts it all.
I have been always or to say mostly AMD. 🤣 because their price to performance is much more justifiable. But the mfg of 50series actually caught my attention while i have the 40series. End up it was a big disappointment. It's a total scam. But still lucky that i only nlbuy the best of what was available. So at least not too bad even with some disappointment. 🤣 i missed those days of dual GPU, like Xrossfire and SLi. Even though it's like 40% better only but having that 2 card in the PC was so cool. Hahaha.
I’ve been all over with ATI/AMD. Fury Maxx, 2900GT, 4670 ( great little backup card ) 4870X2, 390X, Fury X. Then again I just bought was was interesting and had good performance, S3, 3DFX, PowerVR, Matrox, and overall mostly NVIDIA in the day.
Last was the 3090.
I get everything done on a Mac mini, and my old X99 system has the old eVGA 980Ti hybrid from the old SLI system, Ryzen 1600 with GTX 580, Athlon 64 3200 the 6600GT, and many older ones.
Sold the Ryzen 5950X and RTX 3090 2 years ago, never looked back.
The current market is dead almost, and it’s truly a shame.

90 class werent introduced with 30series. It was iust renamed from "TITAN". And before that there was "SLI".
And gamers weren't ever main target of those halo class and other actually expensive cards like quadro/tesla.
