tıtan or 690?

Exodi0 · May 22, 2013

Hello!I am builing a single 1920x1080 monitor gaming rig.I am thinking Titan or 690.I want it to be overkill so dont judge.I am open to other advices

Wait for 770/780. At the very least that will drop the prices of 600 series in a couple weeks.

Those are very expensive. Get a GTX 670 or HD 7970 or even HD 7970 GHz. New cards will be out soon so if you want to wait, now is a good time. But you can buy any of those three that I suggested and with the rest of the money that you saved from not buying the GTX Titan or GTX 690, you can buy a replacement in a few years. But if you buy a GTX Titan or GTX 690, you'll have to spend more money to either SLI or replace it.

But out of the two that you mentioned, I would go with the GTX 690 if you do not plan to do SLI GTX Titan. SLI GTX Titan is more powerful than both a single GTX 690 and SLI GTX 690.

At 1950x 1080 both cards are over kill. A 670 or 680 is more than enough.

Any idea when the 700 series are going to be released?

The 700 Series cards are coming out very soon evident from this video form LinusTechTips - http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=F_saemeuxnM. For gaming I would go for the GTX 690 just because the Titan works better with Adobe programs and editing software (can also play games well) and the GTX 690 is purely designed for hardcore gaming.

The 780 has been released just now. Go for that over a Titan.

rmpumper · May 23, 2013

Yep. According to techpowerup review, the Gigabyte 780 is not only 350USD cheaper than Titan, but it is also a little bit faster:

Didn't see the two posts above yours?

Exodi0 · May 23, 2013

Accordig to that graph,the hd 7990 looks a better choice?Is it really better?

rmpumper · May 23, 2013

Exodi0 :

No. And the fact that you don't know what to get means that you don't need it. Just get a console.

Agreed. If you have no idea and are just getting the best of the best instead of what you need, then you don't know what you need. And in the same case scenario, if you also don't care to have a budget or you just want the best, go for it. Otherwise, I suggest that you buy one sufficient for your needs instead of your wants.

That's a bad attitude to have... If more thought like that the future of PC gaming would be even more bleak.

We all start somewhere.
