RUMOR MILL: Will Nvidia resurrect the mighty Titan brand with its next-generation Blackwell GPUs? It’s been years since we last saw a new model, but according to several rumors, including one from what is a typically reliable source, there will be a new Titan graphics card, but you might never be able to buy one.Nvidia’s upcoming Blackwell RTX GPUs might feature a Titan AI model
A video from RedGamingTech claims there will be a “Titan AI” graphics card. It’s said to be based on the GB202 GPU, which is supposedly also heading for the RTX 5090. According to rumors in March, the GPU will use the same TSMC 4N foundry node as the GB100 designed for AI acceleration and computing applications. TSMC still considers 4N a derivative of the 5nm EUV node.Nvidia’s upcoming Blackwell RTX GPUs might feature a Titan AI model

The YouTube channel believes that the Titan AI will have a wider bus and more memory than the RTX 5090, 50% more Cuda cores, and Nvidia will enable more Streaming MultiProcessors. All of which will push its performance 15% higher than the RTX 5090 and a massive 63% higher than the RTX 4090.
When asked by VideoCardz if there are plans for a new Titan, prolific and usually accurate leaker Kopite7kimi said “The big thing exists.”
Nvidia released the first Titan card, based on the Kepler architecture, in 2013. Others followed – Titan Black, Z, X, Xp, V – with the last official release being the Turing-based Titan RTX in 2018.
There were rumors that Nvidia planned to release a Titan as part of the RTX 3000-series Ampere line, but the RTX 3090 Ti became the top card. With the current Lovelace generation, there were reports of a Titan Ada that was allegedly canceled due to it tripping breakers, melting PSUs, and occasionally dissolving.
We even saw what were claimed to be images of a four-slot, 800W Titan RTX Ada featuring a vertical port layout. Nvidia could have considered factors like the price – it was a time of economic uncertainty – the lack of competition, and the restrictions on Chinese exports as other reasons not to release Titan RTX Ada, or whatever it might have been called.Nvidia’s upcoming Blackwell RTX GPUs might feature a Titan AI model
In a separate post, kopite7kimi wrote “The biggest problem is whether it will actually be used for sale. Titan based on Ada Lovelace also exists, but it has never been sold.”
It is interesting that the Blackwell Titan is rumored to carry the AI moniker. The industry is still obsessed with slapping the initialism on everything. But does it mean that the Titan will be more like a successor to the Nvidia RTX 6000 Ada Generation, which is designed for Gen AI, LLM development, content creation, and data science?
