Among gamers, NVIDIA's TITAN graphics card is legendary. Now, two leakers claim that the chip designer is working on a new TITAN based on the upcoming Blackwell architecture.

In mid-March, NVIDIA introduced its new Blackwell chip series during the GTC conference, specifically tailored to the requirements of generative AI. Blackwell is said to be four times more powerful than the current generation Grace Hopper in training artificial intelligence, providing a solution for the accelerated data processing required in AI applications.

But possibly NVIDIA is going one step further: According to the YouTube channel RedGamingTech, an RTX TITAN is also in “active development” alongside the Blackwell generation (RTX 5000). This new graphics card, named "TITAN AI," is said to be 63 percent faster than the GeForce RTX 4090, while the GeForce RTX 5090 - the actual flagship model for private consumers - only achieves an increase of 48 percent.

Also, the X/Twitter user kopite7kimi reported that such a GPU indeed exists. Kopite7kimi is considered a fairly reliable source for such hardware leaks.

The TITAN series was originally intended as a flagship product for PC gaming, but due to its high performance and large storage capacity, it was later used for content creation. As artificial intelligence has increasingly taken center stage in recent years, an RTX TITAN based on Blackwell might be intended for use in the AI field. Modern generative AI tools now work efficiently even on consumer hardware, making the TITAN series very attractive for professional use.

However, it remains questionable whether this new TITAN graphics card will actually go on sale. There were already plans for a TITAN based on the Ada Lovelace architecture earlier, but it was never released.

Sure, I'd be happy to help! Please provide the heading you'd like to be translated.
