Titan Z or Titan X?

[WolfDaBoss]

Hello and thank you for clicking on this topic!

I am going to be building a new system and I am wondering whether or not to but a titan z or titan x.

I am wanting the titan z as it has double precision while the titan x does not and the titan z is a dual gpu card. Even though titan x is better for gaming, I am wanting this as a workstation computer as well and my tasks need double precision. I am leaning towards the titan z side at the moment but I am not sure if it can reach 1000mhz (water cooled) and if I can find a water block (EVGA Hydro Copper is a last resort).

Any help would be appreciated!

What are you gonna use this for? Chances are the Fury X will slug'em.

why not just two titan blacks if you can find them, as they'll be faster than the titan z and a similar price. If you need double precision FPs then go for the one that actually has them, not the one that's a fancy 980ti.

I will be using it for gaming and some tasks where I will need DP for science. Also rendering

Titan Z, EK or EVGA have some waterlbocks, not sure if EVGA still makes the hydro titan Z though

depends . Do you NEED DP ?  Maybe the titan x will benefit you because of the vram ? OR perhaps the fury x is abetter choice because of the extra FLOPS ?

There is a Fury X2 announced btw ...

Yes, I need DP. I was looking at the fury x but it did not have enough vram for me. I still may pick the titan x and go with some quadro for dp. What do you think?

Pretty sure that the 980ti is better

I want 4 gpus if I am going with kepler. That is why I am not going with two titan blacks

Just get whatever you feel will compensate more for what you really are missing in real life, that's really the only point of owning either of these cards.

Whoa there, easy up on the hate. Have you seen what a liquid cooled Titan X can do? You can even get a Hybrid Titan X Black now.

Have you seen that a 980ti can do literally the exact same thing or better for 350$ cheaper.

I think he's confused and doesn't realize that some people need these in their work stations, and aren't just trying to show off their giant epeen in cs:go pwning newbz.

And you haven't seen a 980ti run out of VRAM, but I have ;)

[WolfDaBoss]

The 980ti would need a custom PCB for it to be as good as a Titan X and you would need watercooling. The titan x would beat a 980 ti anyday if watercooled

[WolfDaBoss]

And there is more vram

Nah, in most games my Hybrid stomps a Titan X even though it's got a reference PCB. All about the lottery and the cooler.

Not even close. Especially for the applications he wants it for.

 

Edit: fixed some grammar mistakes.

[WolfDaBoss]

I may go with two Titan X's and a quadro m4000 as that would provide more performance than two titan z's and an m4000 supports dp. Would that be good?

The thing is there are many 980ti's with custom PCB's and better coolers that beat a Titan X every day out of the box on there stock clocks, and would it really be worth it to spend a extra few hundred to watercool it for a tiny bit more performance, oh wait you're considering buying 2 of the most useless graphics cards for the money, I forgot logic doesn't apply to your brain.

I'm assuming though that the computer has an emphasis on gaming. Otherwise he would probably be using a workstation card at that budget 

[WolfDaBoss]

I need the VRAM. Keep in mind I am going to be doing a LOT more than just gaming

Somewhat of an emphasis. I can't afford an M6000 so I was looking at two titan x's and a quadro m4000

You're using insults and not reading the posts you're responding to.

 

Hmmmm.
