Reviews - NVIDIA GeForce GTX TITAN in SLI

[HEXUS]

See how fast £1,500-plus of cutting-edge graphics is.

Good performance but the price is just a joke.

As someone spotted in the previous thread, the 7970 is listed as having a 256-bit memory interface, which is incorrect; it's 384-bit like the Titan.

Ultra invokes extra graphical hurt by calling for global illumination, though NVIDIA claims that the method by which it is implemented is far from optimal.

or in other words: it doesn't run as well on nvidia hardware as it does on AMD hardware. Of course, when the shoe was on the other foot and nvidia's software developer relations guys were doing the same thing to AMD, there was nothing wrong with the implementation, I'm sure...

Also,Nvidia uses proprietry methods and AMD uses DX11 DirectCompute.

Thinking I may leave C3 for now, if you only get 50FPS with a SLI Titan then its going to rape my rig !

To be fair, that's at 2560*1600 and at high quality. I'm sure if you turned the settings down, or if need be, drop the resolution, it would be fine.

I wonder if CM will stick with the lighting approach in Grid 2, arguably a bigger/popular offering than Dirt(showdown) nowadays? It can't look good that your game possibly runs at a less than desirable level on half of Steam recorded GPUs.

Horrible choice of games Hexus. Absolutely horrible.
4/6 games are AMD games. You could atleast be better with picking equally AMD and Nvidia games, then picked out a few neutral games. Anandtech does that when he review GPUs.

Thankfully we have better Titan SLI reviews than this, because this game out pretty biased toward AMD.

Please explain. Dirt Showdown is the only one that has a method that nVidia question, but as the method is an open standard it's a little hard to complain too loudly - see our other comments on previous reviews including it (essentially, is it coded to hobble nVidia, which would be bad, or is it simply a case of AMD cards having better hardware for DirectCompute? - The evidence seems to be towards the latter, given the results of synthetic tests).

NVIDIA GeForce GTX TITAN is one of the best graphics card but overprice

[dfour]

I would have really liked to have seen the insane Asus HD 7990 ARES 2 in the mix as its the top card using AMD chips and is still cheaper. I have a feeling I know who would win there

[Apex]

Best - nah - waste of cash really.

[Phaz0r18]

For the Price to Performance ratio this just isn't worth it for most people...

But if you've got the money lying around...

Dirt showdown, Sleeping dogs (lol that is 100% AMD game) and Black Ops 2 are AMD games. There is no point in denying that.

50% of your testbench is AMD biased.
