The Titan in 2013 was $1000, when you have had 25% inflation since then and the 25% tariff that is almost exactly $1600.

But 4090 isn't the Titan. It doesn't have Titan drivers and everything.
The titan used the standard Geforce Game Ready drivers.
For awhile some of the Titan lines though got major features unlocked from their workstation graphic cards. I specifically bought a Titan XP used after the last crypto crash in 2018 for 350$ because I needed 10 bit colour output to a special 10 bit capable monitor for video editing and colour correction. I probably would have bought a 1080 ti instead with a much nicer cooler (for overclocking) which is a pretty similar card but that card was locked out of these features.
Titan V even had HBM instead of the power hungry GDDR. But it also used to cost $3k MSRP. The new cards are an improvement over that.
The 780ti was effectively the Titan and was $700
And came out 8 months later.
Every mid-high end 7 series GPU came months later than the Titan.
