Thread: GTX Titan

I've read with slight overclocks though you can push a Titan to over 60 fps pretty easily.

I think the benefits the titan gives you because of the extra features more than makes up for the slight loss in performance. It fully unlocks the cuda/compute features normally locked down in the 5xx, 6xx, and 7xx cards. Though due to architectural differences, amd wipes the floor when it comes to folding and such......

Also it will be interesting to see, but I have a feeling the titan will remain competitive into the 8xx generation.... and at that point the $1000 per card is justified due to longevity......

The GTX 690 is like dual 680's on a single card. It technically is an SLI setup, but it's handled internally on the card.

I ordered the 2nd Titan. I am going to run them both off of my Cooler Master Silent Pro 1000w PSU for now, but I will be upgrading my PSU in time for Quakecon.

I am eye balling dual 780's...... or I might try to build a mini-itx titan rig.... haven't decided.

I'll be getting dual GTX 780's as well once Haswell comes out.

I'll be needing them for this-> LG IPS Monitor 29EA93 | 29" 21:9 Wide Screen IPS LED Monitor - LG Electronics UK

I briefly considered a 780 instead of the 680 I bought, but it's $150+ more than the 680... and is at most 20% faster than the 680...

I agree. Likely, if you can spend $650 on a single card, you can also afford to spend $1000. I just don't get why the 780 is at this price point.

But it sounds like some of you are interested in snagging two of them, so maybe I am wrong. I think I am nuts for spending $2k on Titans when I really think the dual 690s would have been a better performing option, I just fear all of the issues I have heard about with Quad SLI driver problems. There is no point having a killer rig if you can't use it.

The Titans are also eliminating the need for further modifying my case (moving the reservoir/pump 1/2"). Sometimes paying the extra money is worth the hassle of having to take everything apart and mount it all over again.

The reason I am contemplating the 780 is for my micro-itx build..... but your right, I could probably do the titan just as easily.....
