Nvidia GeForce GTX Titan Black review - Introduction

Meet the Dark one ...

A while ago Nvidia launched the GeForce GTX Titan Black. We never reviewed it as it was supposed to be solely a professional series product, not intended for gamers. Nvidia's Board partners however have been rereleasing this product as a gaming product, as well as Nvidia who is plugging the product in their gaming benchmarks on their own website ever since Watch Dogs was released. As such, we figured we need to review this puppy as well. So today we test the reference Geforce GTX Titan Black.

For those that wonder what is different inbetween all the high-end enthusiast products from Nvidia, really it is all rather simple. The Titan Black is the Geforce GTX 780 Ti, with two differences:

  1. It has 6 GB instead of 3 GB memory
  2. It has double precision enabled (totally unimportant for gamers).
Oh thy Hilbert, then what's the difference in-between the 'regular' Titan model and the Titan black thy ask ? Well aside from minor clock frequency differences:
  • GeForce GTX Titan has 2688 Shader / Stream / Cuda processors enabled
  • GeForce GTX Titan Black has 2880 Shader / Stream / Cuda processors enabled

So yeah this is the reason you don't see any 780 Ti 6GB SKUs as it would kill the Titan Black edition market space that it occupies. Memory wise NVIDIA equipped the GeForce GTX Titan Black with 7 Gbps memory, the fastest GDDR5 memory you can find on a graphics card today. The GeForce Titan Black ships with a total of 6 GB of this memory, providing up to 336 GB/sec of peak memory bandwidth. That is a huge partition of memory for one GPU alright. Combined with GPU Boost 2.0 you will see this product boosting towards the 980 MHz range. The reference clock for Titan Black is 889 MHz. The clocks need to remain low for the card to be able to deal with the heat these GPUs produce, but it is also done to keep the product in line power consumption wise. For the GeForce GTX Titan Black, monitor outputs include Dual-DVI, HDMI and DisplayPort outputs. Will we be able to play the hottest games at that whopping Ultra HD 8.2 Mpixels at a 3840x2160 resolution @ 60 Hz? Well, head over to the next page where we'll start-up the technology overview first, but not before you have seen the product though.

But let's say hello to the GeForce GTX Titan Black from Nvidia first. Looking at the specs you must think that this product must consume heaps of power, well it's not fantastic sure, but definitely not bad at all. The maximum allowed board design power draw is roughly 250 Watt, which considering what this product is, is good. We'll fire off the hottest games like Battlefield 4, Thief and Watch Dogs at the card. Look below, have a peek at that lovely but at 900 EURO a very expensive piece of technology,  let's fire up this article. Meet the cute little fellah, and then head on wards into the review.

 


Got cash ? Drop down a big one and it's yours... that's roughly 900 EUR /1000 USD.
