Im more lenient on the Titans because they weren’t gaming GPUs. They were entry-level professional, or “prosumer” cards in-between the GeForce gaming GPUs and the Professional Tesla/Quadro GPUs. No one who just wanted to play vidya games had any right buying them besides for bragging rights.
Cards like the 3090/4090/5090 are just really expensive gaming GPUs with none of the benefits of the Titans besides big memory and higher performance than the top end GeForce sku of the generation, despite Nvidia claiming that they replaced the Titan branding. Non-gamers are still forced to buy them because its either an RTX 4090 for $1599, or an RTX A6000 for $4650 (MSRP numbers)
Nvidia removed Titans from the mix which did not have gimped FP16 and FP32 performance after AI started to become more common, which benefit a lot from FP16 and FP32 performance, especially for training.

Still no card today is worth that much.

This is back when we had awesome 80 class cards like the goat 1080/1080ti
The titan was just a brag deal not really needed.

No video card is worth $1200 just to play video games but Nvidia are scumbags.

Yes, it’s called the Nvidia RTX 4080 Super. Absolute banger for the money.

If you read Jurrassic Park, one of the reasons they made dinosaurs is because they didn’t think they could get away with selling $1000 per pill medicine that they could make with the tech.

Well fuck, if people pay… no, PREORDER at these prices, then I guess yeah. I however will not, so I went off to chase the comparatively affordable hobbies of “motorcycling” and “ham radio”.

Absolutely not

No. Is the easy answer. The extra frames or textures aren’t going to make you a better gamer or make you a happier person. Buy the card you can afford, which for most people is the one that is sub 500, and spend the rest of the money on a trip someplace nice or stick it in savings. Trust me, that extra money will be better spent elsewhere.

When I first started building, the high end cards were like $400-500. Miss those days.
