My friend now says that the Tiitan is good for video editing, with a Quadro.

Yes very good for workstation applications such as video editing, rendering, 3d modeling etc. at an affordable price. Basically a Titan is a poor mans workstation card as the cheapest quadro or tesla cards cost around 3000$ or more and cant play any games at all.

Hi everyone, 

 

My one friend said to me that a Nvidia Titan is not for gaming, i'm pretty sure it is, can someone please enlighten us.

 

Thanks in Advance,

Titan is very good for gaming,but it is not good with perfomance/ratio. 

Gtx 780ti will beat Titan in gaming,and it cost much less.

Nvidia marketing at its finest.

 

Simple answer,it is for workstation and gaming as well but you should never pick it over the 780ti.

It can be used for gaming without a doubt but it has a terrible price, which is why the Titan is a really attractive purchase for creative professionals who want affordable workstation card that they can use for their 3d programs, simulations etc at home while being able to game on the side. It is essentially a "budget" gaming/ working card. If you are purely interested in games and want the 6gb of vram that the Titan offers in order to play at ultra high resolutions then you should be looking at the 6GB GTX 780 which has a little bit less cuda cores but is priced significantly better. For example you can by 3 6GB 780's for 1800$ with a total of 6912 cuda cores, while 2 Titan blacks with only 5760 cuda cores would cost 2000$.

780 and 780ti are for gaming, the Titan was an e-peen card, and is now just a compute card.

 

780ti is faster than a Titan for gaming, and the same as a Titan Black.

780ti is slower than a titan black

If you mean because the stock clocks are minutely higher then I'll give you that, but once the user gets them it is no different IMHO, some of the 780tis may even boost higher it's down to dat lottery.

 

It's like comparing the EVGA Superclocked to the vanilla, it's still the same thing but one comes with a little tickle.

I don't think minutely higher stock clocks would give you a 8fps boost...

Whats a really good gaming card for $600.

If you can find gtx780ti for that money,that would be as best as it gets.

 

Or GTX 770 4GB SLI...

Clocks need to be listed to compare them accurately, it could have been the case that the 780ti didn't overclock as well as the titan black.

Just looking at the stock clock, not OC.

928MHz 780ti

980MHz titan black

I'd agree it comes down to lottery. They are essentially the same GPU, however the TBlack is binned to ensure it'll run slightly faster than a standard TI at base.

Their MHz "potential" however is basically equal and most users who spent the money on a TI or Black would probably OC them. Look at the Kingpin TI, HEAVILY binned to crush a Black and basically guaranteed to have a superior oc'able chip inside.

I have SLI blacks so it hurts to say its silicon lottery.
