Inquiry about nvidia titan

Ahmed AlKarbi · Jan 21, 2014

hi guys

finally after asking around i build up my first custom-build

though it's expensive a bit

i bought titan and it's written in it Asus GTX titan anywayz

when i press run and dxdiag , the aprox.total memory it says that 1674 ?!

isn't suppose to be around 6000 something mb ?

can you guys plz guide me on this

thanks a lot

that's just because directx is clueless about getting the real value of ram on the card. don't worry about it, it's 6gb of memory on it.

Gam3r01 · Jan 21, 2014

I have the GTX 760, and in my DXDIAG it lists it as 4GB of memory, though I own the EVGA 2GB edition.

Gam3r01 :

yeah some thing with my cousin , i thought the problem is with my video card , thanks

but i believe it shows 4 cuz u got dual of 2 gb

Ahmed AlKarbi · Jan 21, 2014

laviniuc :

thank you so much , it's a relief to know that .. BUT

why in ROME2 total war , it shows 1960 video ram >< ?

Gam3r01 · Jan 21, 2014

I would use CPU-Z or GPU-Z as the best source to check.
The dual in my card refers to dual BIOS. I can boot into two BIOS settings based on a switch on the board.

It sadly does not mean I have 4Gb of vram.

Gam3r01 :

oh i c .. i know CPU-Z i will use it

but whhhhy in ROME2 it shows my video card ram is 1900 something ?

about BIOS i don't have any idea about it and how to check if it need update or what so ever ?

Ahmed AlKarbi · Jan 24, 2014

so after the system restarted by it self and then asked me to do boot .. etc which was complicated for me

i re install the windows

so i did identify each state .. etc and then approx total memory was 1600 something now it's 4000 mb ?!

and in ROME 2 it shows 3000 ? why is that ? anyone help ?

Ahmed AlKarbi · Jan 26, 2014

waiting for an answer for my last part of question + guys what is better Asus titan or evga titan ? or GTX 780 Ti ?

unfortunately i thought Titan better and bought it

Ahmed AlKarbi :

I'm gonna be fair, I would never buy a Titan, why? Simple, for it's price I coudl get 2 HD 7970 ghz edition (3g) that would simply destroy it, and still be cheaper, also would have the same ammount of VRAM as it.

But between all these I'd pick EVGA Titan, GTX 780 is simply like "Titan's son".

Gam3r01 · Jan 26, 2014

Except for the small problem of 7970s being discontinued. Xfire has had issues for some time now, some of which are not resolved still. The issue of increased heat and power consumption comes into play.
The 7970 Xfire is around the same performance as the 780Ti.

My vote is for the 780Ti. Less power draw, cooler, no dual card worries. (And allows for SLI later)
If you have the choice between 2 cards and 1 card for the same performance, go with one card.

The 780Ti is not the titans son either, it out performs the titan in nearly every way.

Batguerra · Jan 26, 2014

Gam3r01 :

oops, sorry, I thought he said GTX 780 not ti, yes you are right, 780 ti really outperforms titan, well, at least until GTX Titan Black Edition comes out :3

Gam3r01 · Jan 26, 2014

Im looking forward to see how that one performs.

Ahmed AlKarbi · Jan 26, 2014

wow .. thanks guys .. but unfortunately i bought Asus titan .. despite the shop told me 780 ti is better xD

anywayz i'll just wait for that GTX titan black Edition that u are saying about ,, then i might do Sli or something since i already bought Asus titan .. thanks a lot guys!!

cst1992 · Jan 26, 2014

Titan and Titan Black edition are not the same GPU's.
The Titan Black Edition is actually a 780Ti 6GB.
I doubt they'll SLI.

Ahmed AlKarbi :

You should have asked. Why did you reinstall Windows?

Ahmed AlKarbi · Jan 26, 2014

i'm noob in term of computer but as nvidia website mention you can SLI any of their graphic card except some !! so i can put black edition as primary and titan as slave

Here is a link to the new gpu's: http://www.tomshardware.com/news/gtx-titan-black-edition-790,25839.html#xtor=RSS-998

cst1992 · Jan 26, 2014

You didn't get me. I don't think the Titan and the Black Edition Titan are compatible.

Ahmed AlKarbi · Jan 26, 2014

cst1992 :

we shall see that ,, when it is released and btw check this link

http://www.tomshardware.com/news/gtx-titan-black-edition-790,25839.html#xtor=RSS-998

it mention indirectly black edition is enhancement of titan while 790 is like 710 ti but dual ..

thanks mate

wish u all the best (F)

cst1992 · Jan 26, 2014

It's not a Titan, it's a SUCCESSOR of Titan.
There's a difference.
For SLI you need the SAME gpu, although memory and clock speeds may be different.

well that's not what it says in Nvida Website
