Review: GeForce GTX Titan Black

by Hilbert Hagedoorn on: 07/11/2014 09:25 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.

Good card, overpriced though. Might as well go with a 780 Ti or an R290X then this.

Not if you need more than 3gb vram.

No point in a Titan unless you need DP to be honest.
Thanks for the review HH.

I would not even dare to OC it as HH had it on open bench and that IR photo was scary.
Yes, 90C is apparently standard, 110C for VRAM is apparently OK.
But I am happy that my card lasts long after I give it away And with such working temperatures that may not be the case.

Very well done review anyway.

WHQD is a resolution of 2560x1440. It is by far the most popular monitor resolution for the high-end. Excellent performance really, the card is pushing a nice 71 FPS at this resolution, with these rather good image quality settings.

Do you mean Titan Black or Titan Z?

That was corrected already, thanks for the note though.

Nice review, I was wondering if/when you were going to cover them

There is definitely chance of a little extra OC headroom - I've managed to get a pair in SLI stable at +180MHz on the core and +320Hz on the memory. To be fair this is as far as I would want to go on air, and isn't a 24/7 overclock, but they are damn quick.

The price gap versus the 780 Ti is substantial, but the additional VRAM is likely to become important as the average screen size/resolution increases. Even on current games I've been seeing over 3GB usage on occasion.

BLEH!

If you're paying that much for a card it's only right to water cool it.

Another nonsensical overpriced fossil (at least for most of us), well done nVidia, well done

Not if you need more than 3gb vram.

I would still rather get GTX 780 6GB in that scenario. GTX 780 can keep up with the 6GB Vram just fine, and is much cheaper.

OC it and you have a stock 780 Ti or slightly faster.

Very nice review. Thank you.
Now I am even more glad that I got 780 Ti. I am gaming at 1080p and 3Gb is more than enough. Three hundred more for extra 3GB I think it not worth it.
