NVIDIA Gfx Card Comparison

Hey Guys,

I'm thinking about upgrading to SLI, two brand new cards. After doing some crude cost/benefit analysis based on G3D benchmarks and cost of each card (source), I'm still a bit torn. Each price below has been evaluated against GTX 670's in SLI. This does not factor in the price of a new power supply.

Right now I'm looking at purchasing 680s in SLI, or 670s.

What would you buy?

GeForce GTX Titan
  • 8406 G3D Bentchmark
  • $999.99
Cost/Performance Analysis​

Evlauated against 2xGeForce GTX680 in SLI
  • 10% Cost Increase for -25.9% Performance Increase
Evlauated against 2xGeForce GTX670 in SLI
  • 41.60% Cost Increase for -21.5% Performance Increase
GeForce GTX 680 2x in SLI
  • 11356 = 5,678(2) G3D Bentchmark
  • $899.98 = $449.99(2)
Cost/Performance Analysis

Evlauated against 2xGeForce GTX670 in SLI
  • 21.50% Cost Increase for 6% Performance Increase
GeForce GTX 2x in SLI
  • 10710 = 5,355(2) G3D Bentchmark
  • $705.98 = $352.99(2)
 
I would buy two 670 SLI if I remember right if you watch a product video for the Titans the guy mentioned that 670s SLI is better cost for gaming and what not if you want similar spec as the Titans.

Make sure you have big enough space for the cards too.
x1 Titan takes up two regular GPU slots and requires a higher watt PSU.

I think with SLI 670s you can using a 750w PSU to run it I could be wrong about it tho... =/
 
I would just go for the throat and get two 680's and a nice Seasonic 1200 watt power supply, oh wait I already did that.

Which games do you plan to play and at what resolution?

Unless you have a multiple monitor setup/or you're running a monitor at 2560x1600, thats a lot of power for just full HD display. Graphics cards are plenty powerful, and games aren't good enough to pull everything out. So don't waste money unless you really need to, most likely a single 680 should do everything for a single monitor setup.
