GTX TITAN

<< < (4/4)

Saras:
It's pretty low power and and has a fairly low noise output. It also gives you the option of doing something like this http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=aGIb0tws_e4 which I personally am very much a fan off. This, you can't do with twin GTX680s or 7970s.


If I were to build a system of that class now, I wouldn't be getting two 7970s, I'd get the Titan.

With regards to noise and power, I was talking about dual 680s/7970s. I purchased an aftermarket 7850 with low baseline fan speeds/very little power consumption for ~220 AUD and it handles games fine, just not maxed out AA and post-processing settings. I enjoyed Witcher 2 and the 7850 was enough for non-ubersampling gaming.

I would too, but I see little point in a system of that magnitude anyway, at least for gaming.

kitamesume:
its because HD7850 and GTX660 are the mainstream cards, meaning they're the minimum cards you can get to actually put up high settings without much fuss.
for most people its plenty too, anything over GTX660Ti or HD7950 are for people who're seriously addicted to games and got the money for it.

Volusus:
It stops becoming about the games and more about flashy computers. People on enthusiast forums like OCN only seem to care about how much grunt their computer has and not about the quality of the games they play.

vuzedome:
Looks like this will officially put the GPU race to a standstill for some time.
Good, now we can slowly wait for another Crysis to bring the big jump again when the time comes.
