GTX actually is GT which means grand turismo and X is just there for NVidia to denote which is better than the other.

I just started thinking about all the tech acronyms. I'm realizing there I so many that I just say and don't know what they mean. 

 

I don't think about some even having a meaning. Reply if you know any that you think people might not know. 

 

I think everyone knows what CPU and GPU stands for so... don't post that...

From what I know, ASUS and Pegatron used to be one company under the name of  "Pegasus". Then they split, the "Peg" became Pegatron and the "asus" became ASUS I guess.

Most things mentioned in this thread are abbreviations, not acronyms.

Just saying.

 

 

-snip-

This is so true. Pretty sure you just made up "split horizon protocol" though. Anyway not only are there a ton of abbreviations and acronyms in networking, Cisco and other vendors makes a ton of their own as well, which nobody else use.

Its actually: ID10T-ID10T

I roll with sigs off so I have no idea what you're advertising.

 

This is NOT the signature you are looking for.

Again. R U SERIOUS?! We've said he's sarcastic the whole time. And you didn't even help out because you didn't know what 90% of the things you said stood for.
