Remember the NVIDIA GTX Titan? Can barely handle modern games

Everyone knows perfectly well when a component becomes practically obsolete, or rather does not age very well, and this is normal since the general requirements for the use of any application are increasingly higher. And that is why there are parts that currently have very low performance, even if in their time they were the most powerful on the market, as in this case the GTX Titaniumwhich is almost not capable of running current games.

There is always a time when we have to say goodbye to the parts of our computer, and currently we can say that it is time to say goodbye to the GTX Titanium

, because obviously, it’s not what it used to be. Currently, this graphics card is not capable of overcoming the barrier of 60 frames per second in most current games, being well below some of the cheapest graphics that can currently be found on the market, and they have already exceeded 11 years old since this video card was released, and it hasn’t aged very well.

GTX Titan performance put to the test

Obviously we say this on one basis, namely the performance that a GTX Titanium in some of the games we currently have, from those that require a large number of requirements like Cyberpunk 2077, to some that require much less like Psychonauts 2. And we can see in these tests the difference that exists between this video card and GTX 780Tia chart released shortly after, but which has held up a little better over the years.

In some of the current games that we can find, this graphics is not capable of exceeding the 30 frames per second

, and we are not talking about Cyberpunk 2077, but many titles that stood out for their graphics, like Control or Crysis remastered. Meanwhile, in some cases that don’t need a large amount of graphics power, it didn’t have such bad performance, because with the overclock enabled, this graphics card can reach almost the 50 frames per second in games like Psychonauts 2, Diablo 4 and Ghostwire Tokyo.

We can see how this graph has aged very badly in some cases, but in the end this is normal, since we are talking about a GPU with a maximum frequency much lower than what we can currently find. Despite this, it is possible to see how it can work quite well in some newer titles.

the end of an era

After eleven years we can say that it is time to retire this GPU to use the new ones that can currently be found, since it is not necessary to spend a large amount of money to surpass the performance offered by this graphics card, taking into account that with a low-medium current range we can already have a higher power. Among other things, it should be borne in mind that support for the drivers used in this video card was discontinued in 2021, so it is also normal to think that its time has passed.

That’s why this could be a farewell to one of the most relevant graphics cards ever. Nvidiaand which in its time proved to be the one that triggered the price surge for high-performance components.
