The new Radeon card class coming out soon gpus

[Werne]

i am thinking very strongly about getting a titan anyways, the consumer models coming out will be a downgraded version to 5gb of vram and the cuda cores decrease by 100???

GTX 780 is a castrated consumer model Titan. And following logic, shouldn't the Radeon 7990 be a faster card than Titan, seeing as how it's a dual-chip like 690? I recall seeing some articles where both 7990 and 690 are about 20-25% faster than Titan, can't remember where though.

 

By the way, Titan is basically a castrated Tesla co-processor, it even has some of the instructions left over and it's not that great of a card compared to dual-chip solutions. I can understand someone who can't afford a Tesla or Xeon Phy to buy a Titan instead but when it comes to gaming performance, 7990 and 690 are ahead of it for the same price.

Yes i agree with you Werne, gtx780 is a consumer Titan and 800$ cheaper. and readily available.

 

Its basically a Titan without the 3gb extra ram. And the Radeons by now have buggy drivers with severe microstuttering even with the latest drivers.

 

but this is faster then a titan :mellow: :woot: but the gtx780 is in my price range, plus easier to sli to.

even this guys getting angry over microstuttering.

 

 

best of the dual cards

This is the lowest latency of the dual cards by a significant margin. I still prefer Titan because it's latency is twice as fast as the 690 and 3 to 4x faster than 7990 or any crossfire solution. Also Crossfire suffers from stuttering and runt frames which inflate the fps numbers. 690 is the second best card to the Titan however.

Dual Chip setups or SLI/Crossfire are not always faster by default. Unless the program you are trying to run has specific support they can end up being slower than a single, higher end card.

Exactly, that's why i am trying to find a single card solution right now, heck i need the space for others things anyways.

I'm still running crossfire 6970s, and I don't plan on upgrading for awhile. I'll probably wait another year and a half and just get a monster single GPU card. I'm definitely going Nvidia next time. Their driver support is always better than AMDs.

Its only been out for a year and a half my 7950's, its not he age and the power I'm angry about, its amd not properly coding their drivers properly, microstuttering is the one of the most annoying glitches of all time.

 

Its making me want to switch as soon as i can, budget wise.

 

I found out that the new radeon cards are so similar they can be crossfires with the 7900 cards directly.
