#1 GTX Titan-do they live up to their specs?

Post by scole of TSBT »

Was thinking about getting one, but likely not. I am interested to know whether they perform as well as their specs say. The published performance for a regular GTX Titan is 4500 SP GFLOPS and 1300 DP GLFOPS. The Titan Black is a bit better with 5100 SP and 1700 DP. Question is do they really perform as well as their specs indicate? Anyone have experience with them?

Looks like your out of luck getting a helpful answer so I'll proffer they following:
1. Possibly
2. No
Always happy to help ;)

Can you not search by gpu type on wuprop to get an idea of what numbers people are managing to achieve with them?
Might not be possibly to work out the difference between the blacks and regular titans though, I would have a look but I'm on my phone in Charles De Gaulle airport and my connection sucks.

I thought you'd be more likely to comment on my complaining about Internet connections than reminding everyone about my spectating adventures :wink:
