Random Q, but I've been really interested in the history of Graphics Cards and I was way too young to know anything about computers back then!

This may provide some interesting reading about the older "key" cards http://www.pcworld.com/article/2034487/the-10-most-important-graphics-cards-in-pc-history.html I actually owned several of those, especially the early ones. Never had an 8800 but did have a 9800. Had a Voodoo card, Diamond Viper, quite a few of them now that I think of it. http://www.techspot.com/article/650-history-of-the-gpu/

I think one that they should have listed there was the ATI 9800 Pro, that was one hell of a card for the times.

The Titan didn't come out until much later. I believe the first Titan was with the GeForce 700 series in 2013 based on the Kepler microarchitecture. http://www.computershopper.com/feature/nvidia-s-geforce-gtx-titan-tested-2013-s-new-best-graphics-card

Before that was the GTX 690 http://www.extremetech.com/extreme/127941-nvidia-releases-geforce-gtx-690-twice-the-power-twice-the-price

I can remember the king of gaming graphics in 2007 was the Nvidia GeForce 8800 Ultra http://www.anandtech.com/show/2222

So, there hasn't always been a "Titan" graphics card, but there has been some "Kings" of gaming graphics that had names other than "Titan".
