Nvidia Titan lineup rumoured to make a comeback with Blackwell

Recently, it emerged that Nvidia might not launch its Blackwell-based RTX 5000 series graphics cards this year and unveil it at CES 2025. Unlike the last two release cycles, the flagship GeForce RTX 5090 is slated to launch after the GeForce RTX 5080. Now, Kopite7Kimi has reignited rumours about a long-dead lineup. As exciting as it may sound, these tend to show up before every major launch and not always materialize.

Apparently, a Blackwell-based graphics card called the Titan AI exists. Unfortunately, there's no word about when it will be launched or if it will be sold via retail channels. While Kopite7kimi is usually right about Nvidia's stuff, the last-gen Ada Lovelace-based Titan SKU was mothballed due to its high power draw (800 W) melting PSUs, and its subsequent Blackwell-based revision will presumably have the same issue.

Plus, Nvidia has effectively replaced Titan-class graphics cards with xx90 models. Strictly speaking, there's no reason for Nvidia to bring it back because there's no competition from AMD this generation and the GeForce RTX 5090 should be powerful enough to run anything thrown at it for a couple of years. If it does exist, we can expect it to run a full GB202 GPU, complete with a 512-bit wide bus and GDDR7 VRAM.
