Welcome Mr Noob (No offense) But spec. Specs. You should most likely post this in GPU subform. But it varies in the specs. They are the super high end cards, so the difference does not matter much right now because most games cant utilize the entire card and they wont be able to for a few years

probably should have explained myself better.  I know what they are, i know they vary in performance, but i heard one of them is two gpus on one card, one has more vram, one has lots of cuda.  which is which

Specs vary between the different Titan Models, you can just go to Nvidia's website to see the spec differences between them.

"Titan" means that double precision floating point (FP64) performance is fully unlocked (normally it is artificially limited on GeForce cards). This can be useful for certain types of workstation applications and scientific computations, but it makes no difference for games. So far they all also have more VRAM compared to GeForce cards as well, since the uses I mentioned before are also heavier on VRAM capacity than games.

Titan: first titan.  most powerful card at time of release

 

Titan black: essentially a 780ti with double the VRAM

 

Titan Z: two down-clocked titan blacks

 

Titan X: most powerful maxwell card

Ah.

The original Titan has 2688 Cuda Cores, 6 GB of Vram, Titan Black is 2880 Cuda cores and 6 GB of VRAM (Sorta like a Titan Ti) Titan Z is 5760 cuda cores, and 12 GB of vram(Yes its 2 titan black), and Titan X is 12 GB of vram and unannounced other specs but is the new release.

It's not 12 VRAM. It's 12GB of VRAM. VRAM is not a digital capacity. Same goes with CUDA. It's CUDA cores. Not just CUDA.

[Slash003]

Ok mister techinical, its somewhat implied

The average layperson will not know what you're talking about if you just say VRAM without a digital capacity attached to your numerical value. They may think VRAM is somehow a unit.

basicly it goes age wise from newist to oldest x,z,(titan). and for the price of one of these cards i could build 2 computers and still have money to buy a shiney new yo yo

There its edited now.

Titan = a graphics card

 

Titan Z = two titans glued together

 

Titan X = A new titan GPU. Like Titan 2.0

 

 

They're all a colossal waste of money.

a colossal waste of money if just for gaming..

 

i watched the pcper review on titan z and 295x2..the former didn't have much significant difference to the latter when it comes to double precision (im unaware of actual values) but the price is waaaaaay up high

I mean there might be a market for the cuda cores, in the same way that there's some artists who may use GIMP for whatever reason.

 

Professionals can afford professional grade hardware.  The titan really just exists because the profit margin is insane from the gamers that buy it to have the biggest/best card.

there is indeed a market..gamers will just cry foul to the price 

 

can't remember where this was mentioned and by whom, "Titans are budget quadros" or somewhere along those lines..but the titan z was classified as a gaming card!
