Review: GeForce GTX Titan Black

by Hilbert Hagedoorn on: 07/11/2014 10:25 AM | source: | 18 comment(s)

We review the GeForce GTX Titan Black. Nvidia's Board partners are slowly re-releasing this originally Professional market product as a consumer gaming graphics card, as well as Nvidia who is plugging the product in their gaming benchmarks on their own website. As such, we figured that it is about time we review this puppy as well. Meet Joe Black, ehm Geforce GTX Titan Black.

I sure am glad you didn't review these cards earlier.
I like my pair of Blacks just fine, regardless of the cost.

I think that the original Titans would be the better choice, though.
They're fairly cheap now and do OC better than their new brothers.
I have a pair of water blocks waiting to be installed when X99 arrives.
Until then, they're barely noticeable as far as temp and noise goes.
Except for the rather tacky looking "GEFORCE GTX" in neon green atop these cards.
Luckily, those ugly lights go when the blocks are attached.
Another completely excellent review Hilbert. Thanks!
BTW, no Guru3D rating or recommendation? At all?
Not even for future-proofing? Weird!

I'm a little hesitant with reference samples and awards etc. So unless a reference product price perf wise blows my mind, I try to restrict that a bit.

Rest assured though, I have another Titan Black review pending, this round non reference, factory overclocked and custom cooled

I was just about to buy one of these today, the Gigabyte version that come with the Windforce cooler.
What lets it down is the lack of a backplate.
I'm guessing it would help passively cooling the rear VRAM.

eVGA has one, but they don't have any available at the moment.

I ended up just going with the eVGA GTX780ti Classified, I am only 1080p gaming.
