Wish they'd use the card gen instead of Maxwell etc. I'm extremely into tech and I'm not bothering to memorize that crap. Your normal user isn't going to have a clue.

900, 1000 series and I guess volta is AI? And Titan V

  • 800/900 were mostly Maxwell.
  • 1000 was Pascal.
  • Titan V was Volta.
