780ti vs Titan black

[Gauzl]

Honestly how do you justify the price difference of this between these two equally powerful cards?

The only difference is the extra VRAM and unlocked double precision units.  If that's worth the extra to someone, more power to them.

[TheTechGenius]

Honestly, I wouldn't pay that much for the Titan Black, however, it would be perfect for 4K gaming. Since it has 6GB VRAM. But I don't think that justifies the price tag.

 

But thats just me. lol

[Adnanklink]

Don't dare go for the Titan Black unless you just have to use that money. The added performance benefit is pretty small.

[TheNinjaNextDor]

The Titan Black has double-precision, more VRAM and other small improvements.

Get the EVGA ACX 780ti.

IF you plan to game/video edit/render at 2k+ get the titan, for 1080P to 1440P get the 780 Ti

[zapsyou]

Your better off getting a after market 780ti, because of the way gpu boost 2 works the titan black is just going to hit it's thermal limits and throttle down so it probably wont match the performance (in fps) of a good 780ti.

[Askew]

other small improvements.

 

What do you mean?

[TheNinjaNextDor]

What do you mean?

Higher clock speeds and more compute performance. I thought there was more but i guess not.

IF you plan to game/video edit/render at 2k+ get the titan, for 1080P to 1440P get the 780 Ti

This, Titan is not just for gaming, when someone compares these 2 cards they need to understand that.

[Faa]

6gb vram is useless for gaming btw

[Constantine]

Unless you're into extreme rendering or research, I wouldn't get the Titan Black

[SlaughterSmurf]

It's a developers card.

[totjup5]

Titan black is not really a consumer oriented card, the only use for it for gaming is if you are going 4k, and have an almost unlimited budget (And for 4k you'd need a couple of them). Otherwise the 780ti is the way to go.

As a new owner of the Titan Black (and yes, I wanted it for the compute power, and gaming on the side ... I actually don't have any games other than D3 to play right now), I can say that the reference cooler is awesome.

 

I ran Unigine Valley 1.0 on Extreme HD, with just factory settings, and I had 1202 MHz Core Clocks, it hit 82 C, and it didn't throttle down. The fan just ramped up and kept it locked at 82-83 C. I left it running on a loop for a little while (like 20-30 minutes).

 

Wasn't even that loud. But hard to really compare since I came from a 2-year old laptop.

 

I've also got the ACX cooler, but I don't think I'll have time to install it for another couple of weeks. Will overclock then. Did average about 67-68 fps with factory settings. Not sure if NCIX install team OC-ed my GPU. Didn't really pay attention. eVGA PrecisionX says everything is stock. 

 

If you just need a GPU for gaming, get a 780ti.

I own an EVGA GTX Titan Black SC. I sold my two GTX Titan SC's in order to buy two Blacks. Buying the 780ti's did cross my mind but, I can't resist the 6gb of VRAM. 

Although I don't ONLY game on my PC, I do game on a 3 monitor setup, so that was definitely a factor. (I do plan on upgrading to 3, 1600p monitors)

 

So if multi-monitor gaming is something of interest, more VRAM is something to keep in mind. Sure, the price tag is larger, but who said being an enthusiast was cheap?  :unsure:

[SlaughterSmurf]

Same as with 780 and Titan, the dev tools that the Titan has and 780 ti doesn't

[Faa]

6GB of vram.. Come back over 2 years time and tell me how well they would run in 4K or 8K. A single titan would definitely struggle with 6GB of VRAM being utilized, a 2nd isnt going to make a difference unless you want 5 more fps.

You should only get them for productivity purposes or if you dont know how to spend your money, their compute power is a lot better than a 780ti.

[ACatWithThumbs]

The Titan Black is actually dirt cheap if you use it for 3D rendering,modeling ect.
The only Quadro Card that is on par with the TITAN Black is the K6000 and that card is $5000.
(Depending on what Software you use.)



 

[Pringles]

For my personal use (gaming) the Titan is not worth it. 780Ti performs just as good.
