How do you Pronounce Ti? apparently there is no official way

[oxrufiioxo]

I guess my reply got deleted... I agree it was in poor taste. Personally I've always called it Tee-Eye but to me it really doesn't matter although I prefer the Super nomenclature we got with the 20 series over every tier having a Ti card. They should have called the new 3090 ti a titan and just gave it 48GB of vram

well.... Time stamp 19:09. TIE is the answer. I say its wrong, but I didn't create the product lol.

However Jenhsun says T-I - Timestamp 1:37:43 . You can lock the thread and close the poll now

Good, you found it, now pick the CEO or the SVP to be the authority

In my personal experience working with the people at NVIDIA and all the major AICs, they overwhelmingly use "t-i"

 

[bug]

Lately I pronounce it like "take your prices and shove them where the sun don't shine".

For the correct pronunciation, just listen to some unveiling, hear how officials pronounce it.

 

[Wirko]

Oh come on, there are greater problems for the humanity to solve. ASUS. GIF. Gelsinger. Phison.

 

[Zyll Goliat]

It's actually should be tea-eye..........but I guess tee-eye is close enough

 

[Vayra86]

Die Hard Nvidia fans pronounce it like
Yippee Tee eye me thinks

Those are the real En Vee Eye Dee Eye A fans.

And since Nvidia thinks its 'Tie', until Huang starts wearing one over his leather jacket, I'm calling it Tee Eye starting now.
That'll teach em.

okay now comes the premium question from a middle-aged man who doesn't know any better, what is the pronunciation of the part underlined in red?
i'm serious. i haven't figured out the secret yet.
the Ti can be explained by adding 1+2+3 together...

 

[Jetster]

It's Tee eye or tie for short

What about for calculators..

Did you have to buy a Tie-83 or a Tee-eye-83 to play block dude in school?

The 8G is as far as I got. That's clearly a conspiracy 3 times worse than 5G, you know, and clearly proof those vaccines are chips for better reception. The O... maybe because it will last forever?

 

[Pumper]

It's short for Titanium, so "tie" should be the correct pronunciation.
"tee-eye" would work if it was TI not Ti - it's considered correct only because for whatever reason, most people started using it.

Technically you always use the full element name, even if it’s written in shorthand, at least in American English, so “titanium.”

Tee-Eye (or Tee-Aye depending the correct sound of the "i" in your region

Or Tea(?)-Aye as a Scotsman would say it
Sláinte mhór to all Scottish and Irish lads here

Other thing.
Maybe instead of Ti(e) lets call it cravat

 

[Solaris17]

tee-eye

 

[skizzo]

I never heard a single person pronounce it as "tie". I've always heard it as "tee-eye"

based on poll and my general perception of the public....tee-eye is the clear winner.

For everyone hearing it pronounced tie for the first time......I'm sure that raised a few eyebrows

It was Titanium at one point back in the Geforce 3 days. I think it actually means nothing these days Just like cars. GRX, GTR, GXEEE449877. Whatever the marketing department thinks sounds good and rolls off the tongue. I still say T - I. Because of the Titanium origins.

GF2 Ti was the first Ti card. Personally I still think it as Titanium for about any card with that suffix; card with just the model number is the "basic" one where Ti is a stronger one, just like Titanium is a strong metal.

Though GF3 Ti 200 was an underclocked GF3 but that was the only case IIRC.

It's Tee-eye.

I didn't realize this was even a question. No one says "tie". If I ever heard anyone say "tie"' I would stifle an eternal laugh and form the immediate opinion I was talking to a pretender.

EDIT: But it could very well be regional. I cringe every time I hear someone pronounce "Z" as Zed. It isn't pronounced Zed where I come from. It is pronounced Zee. But "Zed" is clearly the correct way to pronounce "Z" in certain regions of the world.

 

[freeagent]

If it was Tee Eye then it would be TI would it not? Ti is an acronym for Titanium right?

I cringe every time I hear someone pronounce "Z" as Zed. It isn't pronounced Zed where I come from.

Here in Canada it is Zed. But I use both because I watch their tv, listen to their music, and eat their food.

Yeah, it stands for Titanium as far as I know just like in chemistry.

 

[Bomby569]

The question is does it really matter? Steve from GN loved to joke with that dude from Nvidia that said Tie and that's just being an elitist douche.

 

[Shihab]

I suppose the internet wouldn't be the internet without debates on how one pronounces an acronym/initialism of some product or piece of code... :|

#Team_tie!

 

[cvaldes]

Nvidia SVP GeForce Jeff Fisher pronounces it "tie".

Just watch the launch videos.

Nvidia CEO & founder Jensen Huang pronounces it "tee eye".

Clearly there is no corporate mandated pronunciation.

 

[outpt]

tee eye tanium

 

[DLGenesis]

guy be ballin' with the "tie"

 

[Toothless]

I feel like the ones who say "tie" get the bowl after the milk and cereal.

Barbarians.
