GeForce GTX TITAN Black: Overview | Specs | Testing| Is it good for gaming?

GeForce GTX TITAN Black – Overview | Specs | Testing| Is it good for gaming? – Introducing the new flagship of the “green” corporation NVIDIA – a video card GeForce GTX TITAN Black Edition. Interestingly, after the announcement of the pioneers of the new Maxwell architecture – the GTX 750 and GTX 750 Ti, the leader in the production of graphics processors somehow modestly introduces its new “fighting machine”. And it must be admitted that it deserves serious attention.

The novelty is the most productive video card for the first half of 2014, built on a single GPU. The video adapter is based on a graphics chip codenamed GK110, already known to us from previous models based on the Kepler architecture. The appearance and cooling system of the reference model remained the same as the first GeForce GTX TITAN. The video card supports all modern technologies such as DirectX 11, OpenGL 4.1, CUDA, PhysX, FXAA, TXAA, Adaptive VSync, 3D Vision, 3DTV Play, SLI. On closer examination, we see that the hardware of the “black Titan” is almost identical to the GTX 780 Ti, but its frequency formula is slightly higher. So let’s compare these latest models.

GeForce GTX TITAN Black: Specifications

Consider also the performance in comparison with models of other series.

As can be seen from the test results, single-processor video cards are increasingly approaching the “two-headed” GTX 690. The gaming performance of the new product is also very pleasing, its increase compared to the first “Titan” is about 10%.

Thus, we see that the new flagship from NVIDIA is really the “blackest”, i.e. the most productive and most expensive single-chip graphics adapter at the beginning of spring 2014. It remains to be added that the recommended price for the GeForce GTX TITAN Black Edition for the Russian market is 36,000 rubles, and for the states – $999.

Is The GTX TITAN BLACK Still The Best in Gaming?

The GTX TITAN Black Edition offered better performance than the original card thanks to more cores and an increase in speeds, though it’s still essentially a GTX 780 Ti with double the VRam. So can 6 gigs save this old beast, or does it suffer at the hands of modern and demanding PC Games?
