Wait seriously? I’ve actually never heard somebody say it out loud I guess. I always assumed it was pronounced “tit-tay-nee-um”.

Yeah but that’s not really been the case. Here is the 2080 Ti announcement

I mean they are really bad made up names anyway but Nvidia themselves have definitely not been consistent. Tee-Eye is slightly less dumb than Tye to me though, personally.

Tbh why do they even still have “GeForce” in there with everything being RTX now. Seems like nows the time to just go to “Nvidia RTX 3080” and drop that poo poo outta there

Robots confuse squirrels.


It works as an overarching brand name for all their gaming products, since that now includes GeForce Experience and GeForce Now as well. Like their professional graphics cards like the Titan and Quadro don't have GeForce in the name but do still say RTX.

the issue with blower gpus is, blower is a single 60-80mm fan vs 2 or 3 120mm fans for open heatsinks. it has to spin way faster to move the same amount of air, and there's less space for the heatsink so it has to move more air

in a GPU context it means you have one fan doing the work that on other models is done by two or three, so yes, it needs to run much much faster and as such is louder. it's not the kind of fan technology it refers to how one fan blows through and over the PCB and vents out of the case.

Finally in the auto notify queue for the 3080 TI; I don't think I could go with a non EVGA card after hearing about how amazing their support is so I skipped today's shuffle, and my only regret is that I didn't buy the extended warranty on my 3080 from them. I still have 6 weeks before I get my computer so if by some chance I get a notification I'm guessing I can sell my unopened 3080 for the $1400. If I don't get one I can roll with the non TI and do this all over again in four years.

two unrelated things I wanted to comment on:

1. GeForce Now lets you play Victoria 2 on it, but since that particular game doesn't support cloud saves, it doesn't actually work since you can never carry-over your saved games from session to the next. That's not really GFN's fault except that maybe don't let a game onto your platform when Paradox never programmed it to work properly within the context you're trying to use it in.

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=MD6vhg7iqPY

2. AMD's RX 6800M[obile], which is based on the same silicon as the RX 6700 XT for the desktop, is apparently quite good - punching over the RTX 3070 Mobile and usually right behind the RTX 3080 Mobile. However it seems AMD is still getting screwed over on OEM fuckery where the laptop that's getting shopped-around to reviewers has slow RAM and suffers a performance penalty from coursing the display through the iGPU

Still though, it's the atomic symbol for Titanium. So unless people pronounce titanium as Tee-Eye-tanium... well, I guess some probably do, hah.

Edit: Realized this had actually been brought upon the prior page.

Hasturtium posted:

But again, when referring to elemental abbreviations or simple compounds, it's common practice to spell individual letters for clarification, like KCl as "kay cee ell." By the time this is all done it'll be at LEAST as dumb as how to pronounce GIF...

When I was taking materials science courses, spelling out the atomic symbol by the symbol letters, was only common for those elements whose symbols were not easily discerned from their current name, such as lead, silver, etc. Even then, most people preferred to just refer to the full name and not spell out the symbol.

In English, you don't pronounce the H for hydrogen as "huh" because thats how your start the word hydrogen. And going the other direction, you dont call lead Pblead. The abbreviation on the table of the elements (and the history behind them) doesn't necessarily tell you how to pronounce things in English.

And yeah, Nvidia themselves called it "Tee-Eye" for years, regardless of whatever the dumb marketing reason for it. Its not like it actually means anything.

I would say that I'm team tee-eye but I did some work with titanium nitride thin-films a few years ago and always referred to it as "tie-nitride"

I wasn't referring to the inconsistencies for how nVidia pronounced, because there definitely have been inconsistencies. And sure, obviously the symbols don't always convey how it's pronounced, but we used titanium a lot in some of our research and everyone just says "Titanium" and not "Tee-eye" regardless of what non-elemental science goons want to call it.

But honestly... I don't really care, but calling it "Thai" if that's what someone wants to do, is fine. Just like if someone wants to call it a 3080 "Titanium".
