Admittedly, it has been a little while now since the last one was released, but this is predominantly believed to be due to Nvidia discontinuing the TITAN branding in favour of their new (and possibly easier to understand) XX90 SKUs.

There were, however, two pretty huge problems that they didn’t anticipate. Firstly, consumer interest in the 4080 has been pretty low with people either considering it overpriced or…

Well, for those who use Steam at least. – In many respects though, for as old as the 1060 clearly is, there didn’t seem to be much indication to suggest that it was set to lose that #1 position any time soon.
