I'd totally buy a Titan X GTX Ti
They reserve "Black" for the Titan X line

I fondly remember my ti4400 card.
In fact, it's the reason I like "ti" video cards to this day.
I also liked ATI's "Pro" naming, with cards like the 9800 Pro.
Wish AMD would bring it back.
RX480 Pro
You'll notice in Nvidia's marketing, that GTX lines up with what they deem "gaming" GPU's. If it's a GT, you know it's not meant for gaming.Let's avoid sullying the good reputation of the 9700/9800pro by calling anything of their current output "pro".
As for Ti I had a 460ti. It was a low end card that had ti to differentiate it from the even lower end 460. The naming is pretty consistent. GTX doesn't mean anything except that one time it was a suffix. You got to look at suffix vs prefix. A suffix means something. Prefix is just a name.

You must mean 560 Ti, there was no 460 Ti. They were both based off a midrange Fermi xx4 chip though. And the 460/560 series were not considered low end by any means back in their day.

Well the legendary 8800 GT begs to differ though...You'll notice in Nvidia's marketing, that GTX lines up with what they deem "gaming" GPU's. If it's a GT, you know it's not meant for gaming.
The GT is not a prefix on that card. I also have mentioned a few times, that this use started with the 3 digit cards. i.e. the 200 series.Well the legendary 8800 GT begs to differ though...
I'm sorry if it bothers you, but tech companies do not randomly name things. They tend to follow naming schemes as to not confuse their customers. It's also true that they sometimes change the rules and start over from time to time in order to grab your attention.Look a thread of people trying to make sense of tech monikers...
The Asylum is that way ----->
I've heard that is where these companies hire for their naming departments.

Interestingly, I go to Nvidia's page, and the GT 650m is marketed as a Gaming and Multimedia card. The GTX 650 is marketed as a gaming card.An exception: Nvidia branding the GTX 650 as a GTX card. The GT 650m is the SAME GPU and could be overclocked beyond desktop speeds if increasing the TDP from 45w to 55w. So anyone with a GTX 650/660m bought the GPU thinking it as a gaming card could have gotten a GT 650M (GDDR5) for a little less $$$.
I am a fan of the top end GT cards. They usually come with GDDR5 and may even have the same specs as the lowest GTX card. This doesn't seem to be the case anymore unfortunately. My GT 650m is still able to OC 26% on the core and 50%(!) higher on the memory simply because it is an underclocked 660m. Yes, overclocking on a Macbook Pro isn't an effortless experience, but it is possible if cooled correctly and without Intel Turboboost.

Do you think Nvidia and AMD just randomly pick these names?
