Hi - I'm about to upgrade my system, and have recently sought and found some excellent advice on here about my decision (http://www.tomshardware.co.uk/answers/id-1767285/upgrade-780.html#xtor=EPR-8809)
My Current system is i7-2600K 16GB with a gtx 570. I run a 27" display at 2560 x 1440. I use the system for a mix of both gaming and architectural visualisations (3DS max, vray, Revit, Adobe Creative suite)
From the advice above I had decided to go with an upgrade to gtx 780, which looks good for my needs. It now seems I am to get a bit more £ for a job I recently finished , so I'm considering upgrading (my upgrade) to a Titan. Rather than ask if its better than a 780 (I've read countless threads on this) -I was wondering if someone could help me understand, as simply as possible - what each of the specs means in terms of real life use?
What I mean is
* What will increase viewport speed on complex scenes (3DS max / Revit) - memory? Cuda cores? etc
* What will increase rendering speeds?
* What will allow me to run more complex (high poly) scenes - i suppose this is an extension of viewport speed? (I think?).
* What does this double precision point thing actually mean for the above apps (if anything)? It seems to be the main dif (other than ram) between the two cards.
I'm quite technical - but am never 100% sure what each of the specs mean when I'm comparing the cards. There doesn't seem to be a clear explanation from my searching on the web? If anyone has any thoughts (or a link) I'd be most grateful!
Then with all that said ^ - Does anyone think I'd be wasting the money on the titan? Or will it make a real difference, if so - i'd gladly spend the extra on it but don't want to waste the money!
Many thanks!
PS: I've looked in Quadro cards, but want to stick with GTX due to gaming
