GTX titan Black

Saif Seofe · Jul 23, 2014

Hi about 10 mins ago i was about to buy the gtx titan but i didnt because i only found the one with one fan will it be problem when i play games like it will overheat or something thank you

if it is for gaming only get a gtx 780 Ti, it will give you the same performance for much cheaper. The only difference for gaming reasons is the Titan black has 6gb of vram while the gtx 780 ti has 3gb... You would be hard pressed to cap out the 3gb of vram on any resolution 1440p or lower. I can't even cap out mine at 5760x1200 most i ever see is 2.8gb used and that is very very rare.

The reference cooler on the titans are pretty good... if you case air flow is pretty poor you are better off going with the single fan blowers (hot air is blown out the back of the case)... if you have good case air flow the dual or triple fan coolers are better (hot air is blown into case)

Yea for gaming but i want get the titan black for future games ...

Saif Seofe :

I don't think the extra Vram is really usable by the titan black because of the bandwidth being 384-bit. Save yourself $300-$350 and get a GTX 780 Ti... Or wait till the GTX 880 comes out and hope its 512-bit and 4gb+ vram.

See even at 4k res the gtx 780 ti outperforms the Titan black in games... http://www.pcgamer.com/2014/05/08/gtx-titan-black-the-ultimate-gaming-gpu/

So they are making non-reference Titan Blacks?

Saif Seofe · Jul 23, 2014

Do you know when they releaseing the gtx 880/??/

Sort of... I think its gigabyte that has one - well it has the reference cooler on the card but it comes with an after market 3 fan cooler that you have to put on yourself... They had to do it this way because nvidia has restricted the titan black not allowing vendors to add their own coolers... So Gigabyte did it this way to get around it.

my question is the reference Titan Blacks will overheat when i play games ?

Derza10 · Jul 23, 2014

Saif Seofe :

It should run in the 70c-85c range... It will not over heat - The cards are designed to lower clock rates based on temp, i believe they start to throttle at 80c - normally the throttle is very minor ~13Mhz - ~65Mhz or so but this should not happen very often.

It's your money but in my opinion you are throwing away $300-$350 dollars by going with a titan over a gtx 780 ti with absolutely no gain in games.

Saif Seofe :

Last rumors I have heard was November - no one really knows for sure yet.

Saif Seofe · Jul 23, 2014

Ok So if i get the 780Ti will it runs future games ?

Saif Seofe · Jul 23, 2014

Should i get the 780ti reference or non reference

17seconds · Jul 23, 2014

The GTX 880/870 are rumored to be announced next month, and to be released in November. They are expected to come with 4 or 8 GB of VRAM and are rumored to outperform the Titan Black/GTX 780 Ti by about 20%.

Saif Seofe :

Yes... Its pretty much the best single GPU graphics card you can get right now. What resolution do you play at?

17seconds · Jul 23, 2014

Get a non-reference card if possible. The benefit will be higher, more sustained Turbo Boost clocks.

Derza10 · Jul 23, 2014

Saif Seofe :

As is said before... if you have good air flow in your case get the non-reference cooler if you have poor air flow get the reference.

Derza10 · Jul 23, 2014

17seconds :

Unless of course you have very poor case air flow and it turns your computer into an oven and all your components over heat

In most cases non-reference is the way to go... we would need to know your case/case fan number and fan orientation to give you a better answer.

Saif Seofe · Jul 23, 2014

Well i have like 5 fans on my case and my case is nzxt phantom 410

Derza10 · Jul 23, 2014

Saif Seofe :

Your air flow should be adequate I'd get this card : http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16814487003&cm_re=gtx_780_ti-_-14-487-003-_-Product

I heard some games needs more then 3GB VRAM

Derza10 · Jul 23, 2014

Watch dogs is one of the few games that use over 3gb of ram at 1080p... And take a look at this : http://www.digitalstormonline.com/unlocked/watch-dogs-benchmarks-nvidia-1080p-and-4k-idnum279/ the titan black and gtx 780 ti are still within 1-2 FPS. Its only when you use 4k resolution AND SLI that you start to see the difference... A single Titan black is not powerful enough to really take advantage of more than 3gb of vram.

Saif Seofe · Jul 23, 2014

I want to get the 780 ti reference because of the Green light on the top of it that matches with my green fans but like you said the non 780 ti reference will be better
