Gtx titan, any usage today?

[aelx]

Hi

I was one of the crazy ones that bought the first GTX Titan, at the time I was playing alot of games with tri-screen setup so it had its uses.

Anyways, I have been googling a lot ( and i mean a lot) trying to find any meaningful usage for my trusted old companion but cant seem to find any.

 

Today I'm using a 2070 Super and have started streaming for fun but so if its usable in say adobe premier or similar it would be nice.

But I am starting to regard it as a very beatiful and/or expensive bookshelf support.

 

Am I missing something or does have any use today that I am missing?

Is that the Kepler(GTX 700 series) Titan or the Maxwell(GTX 900 series) Titan?

 

Usage will certainly depend on the generation, Maxwell would be more capable and support more things than Kepler does.

It was a mighty card in its day, but that day was still a decade ago. 

 

It will tear through games from its time, but for modern titles it's probably going to be comparable to a 780ti.

 

Some nerd benchmarked it in his garage when it was new:

 

Said nerd looked at a couple of aging Kepler cards last year, including a 780ti. Looks like he upgraded to a much nicer garage in the intervening decade; good for him.

 

 

There's still a little life left to wring out of it, but it's definitely more of a historical curiosity than a relevant gaming card these days.

It's the Kepler-based one

I know, it was a beast back in the days

 

I was thinking about using it as a nvenc-dedicated card in my main rig until a can get my hands on an encoder that does AV1 with a bearable pricetag.

Although I was reading the Nvidia Matrix for Nvenc but its not listed there, maybe it was a while ago?

But i found a data-sheet with the information that the nvenc didnt support 444 colour sampling and lossless encoding.

 

I am quite new to streaming and I can't seem to find a good answer to the question: Do I need this when streaming 1080p to twitch and youtube?

Waste of electricity, just use the encoder in your 2070. 

Also I think you need older driver for the Titan.

Kepler NVENC wasn't great, especially not compared to what came after it.

 

Let your 2070 do the encoding for now.
