GTX 690 or GTX Titan

[Patagonico]

Nowadays if you had to choose between these graphics thinking about 1 single one for 1440p which one would you choose

I see the GXT Titan as more expensive than the GTX 690 and with less performance and the GTX 690 I worry that having 4 GB (2GB + 2GB) will be insufficient soon.

Bad time to buy graphics.

The GTX690 will give you problems like any other SLI, and the Titan is an expensive and bulky monstrosity, which is closer to being a missing link than belonging to a new range.

Salu2!

PD: Check the number of lines in the signature

In real terms when you refer to the Titan being bulky what do you mean?, sometimes everything is subjective at the time of purchase the prices of these 2 beasts do not excite me but it seems that there would be quite a long time before a graphics card approaches the performance of the Titan and in my country at any moment there could be a devaluation of the type of exchange (dollar) today if you buy a graphics card you pay at value $ 5.20 but in general if you have to buy a ticket of that currency you have to pay $ 8.30 60% more.

There is the dilemma :facepalm: to buy now or wait and knowing that something may happen I would like to know which of these two alternatives seems more interesting to the forum members who have tried both.

Man, seen as a possible investment due to issues of monetary devaluation, then buy the Titan, which will give you fewer performance issues, although in specific cases the GTX690 can prevail because its SLI works. From before they released the Titan, in the corridors of the Internet they were already talking about the need for that card to compensate for the bad image generated by a new generation of consoles (PS4 & X720) with AMD hardware, the umpteenth fiasco of their new Tegra, and various blunders. In the end, that monster is an experiment resulting from the recycling of Tesla computing cards, and except for a twin model for the Quadro range, it doesn't seem like it will have continuity. If as I see by the signature, you already have a GTX580, you can also buy another/others. Salu2!

From every point of view, I see it as wiser to wait, since with current graphics you can play decently and "thanks to the crisis and various lack of purchasing power" most of us are satisfied with a 1920x1080, so with a €200 graphics card or multi-GPUs that are a bit older, we work pretty well. And the thing is that from here to a certain time, we will still endure the most current games at an average decent fps, so there will be enough time for new products to appear on the graphics market, for details to be polished and prices to be balanced.
Therefore, with relatively expensive options now on the market whose full performance is "hypothetical" or "not completely assured", I see it as more logical to wait and observe the evolution in the short/medium term. If the money comes and goes like the wind, then I wouldn't see it as too crazy to invest, if from here to 6 months or a year I'm going to be able to buy myself the new generation of graphics cards, then no problem. But in the meantime and for reasons opposite to this, I would have to wait.

I miss in the survey: "other" and "none"

[Pepillo]

Sticking to the survey, the Titan, in my opinion is better graphics. As you know I come from a GTX580 SLI, and I prefer without a doubt the Titan. In a few months, a year, who knows, surely there will be new and better options, that already depends on you. But between one or the other, I think few would choose a 690.

[ferelxyx]

I think without a doubt the TITAN but I would wait for the price to drop a bit

Well yes, but I imagine what Patagónico wants to see is what we would do if we had to choose one or the other.
Imagine that they give them to you in a contest and you have to choose…:troll:

I voted for the Titan, mostly because it has more Vram (sure for playing at very high resolutions it will be noticed a lot), it will depreciate a little less over time, it's more new and I think that pure performance, I'd rather have the most powerful monoGPU than an internal SLI that could give me a headache in some game.
That said, I admit that it would take me a good while to make the decision, and that the GTX690 is another tricky cucumber.

Regards!!

[Sylver]

@_Neptunno_:

Pues si, pero imagino que lo que quiere ver Patagónico es que haríamos si tuviéramos que elegir si o si entre una de las dos.
Imagínate que te las regalan en un concurso y debes elegir…:troll:

Yo vote por la Titan, mas que nada por que tiene mas Vram (seguro para jugar a altísimas resoluciones se notara un montón), se devaluara un pelin menos con el paso del tiempo, es mas novedad y creo que rendimiento puro y duro, prefiero tener la monoGPU mas potente que un SLI interno que pueda darme dolor de cabeza en algún juego.
Eso si, reconozco que tardaría un buen rato en tomar la decisión, y que la GTX690 es otro pepino de cuidado.

Saludos!!

Esos concursos son tan hipotéticos como acertar una quiniela sin echarla :troll::troll::troll::troll::troll:

In case of bankruptcy, I would take the Titan and sell it, that's my official recommendation

I see the GXT Titan as more expensive than the GTX 690 and with less performance and the GTX 690 worries me because it has 4 GB (2GB + 2GB) it will run out soon.

Paying right now for a 690 the same as for a Titan doesn't make sense, the 690 may perform a little more but with more drawbacks, the first is that they will drop very quickly, then the memory and that with a Titan you hold out until they drop in price and you put another one, for me the Titan is the better option if the price is similar, I see a few advantages.

The 690 will be a very good option if it drops below 600€, because they are cards that will lose value much faster, not to mention that I prefer a monogpu if it performs almost like the dual, you get rid of problems with profiles and MS, the game that comes out will run well, without SLI profiles or driver, besides, seeing the way we are going in terms of vram the 690 will be short much sooner for memory issues, because it is powerful but a bit tight on vram, if you hold out a bit without buying you might see an offer for a 690 in a short time, if the 700 series came out it would drop much faster and if not then two 680s.

@Fassou:

Hombre, visto como una posible inversión por temas de devaluación monetaria, entonces compra la Titan, que te dará menos problemas de rendimiento, aunque en casos puntuales la GTX690 consiga imponerse porque su SLI funcione.

Desde antes de que sacaran la Titan, en los mentideros de Internet ya comentaban la necesidad de esa tarjeta para compensar la mala imagen que genera una nueva generación de consolas (PS4 & X720) con hardware AMD, el enésimo fiasco de su nuevo Tegra, y meteduras de pata varias.

Al final, ese monstruo es un experimento fruto del reciclaje de tarjetas de computo Tesla, y salvo un modelo gemelo para la gama Quadro, no parece que vaya a tener continuidad.

Si como veo por la firma, ya tienes una GTX580, también puedes comprar otra/as.

Salu2!

Siempre fui de monogpu, aunque esta GTX 690 se ve que tiene mucha potencia y puede con la mayoría de los juegos a 1600p sobre 60 fps (pero me tira abajo la diferencia de memoria que hay con la Titan) y agregar otra GTX 580 significa cambiar la fuente y prefiero cambiar a una GPU mas potente.

Salu2.

@Sylver:

De todo punto veo más sabio esperar, ya que con las gráficas actuales se puede jugar decentemente y "gracias a la crisis y a faltas de poder adquisitivo variadas" la mayoría nos conformamos con un 1920x1080, con lo que con 200€ de gráfica o multi-gpus algo más antiguas funcionamos bastante bien. Y el asunto es que de aquí a equis tiempo aún aguantaremos los juegos más actuales a una media de fps decente, por lo que dará tiempo suficiente a que se presenten novedades en el mercado de gráficas, a que se pulen detalles y se equilibren los precios.
Por lo tanto, habiendo ahora opciones relativamente caras en el mercado cuyo rendimiento pleno es "hipotético" o "no completamente asegurado", veo más lógico esperar y observar la evolución a corto/medio plazo. Si el dinero viene y va como el viento, entonces no vería tan descabellado invertir, si de aquí a 6 meses o un año voy a poder comprarme la nueva generación de gráficas, pues ningún problema. Pero mientras tanto y por razones opuestas a esto, me tocaría esperar.

Saludos

Es que ahí está el factor mi resolución es 1440p, por aquí los precios apuntan hacia arriba y ver gráficas de alta gama se puede convertir en una odisea, por estos lados este tipo de producto tarda en llegar hasta 2 meses después de su lanzamiento, y si sería como una inversión porque futuras gráficas podrían tardar bastante en alcanzar el rendimiento de la Titan.

Salu2.

@Bm4n:

Echo en falta en la encuesta: "otras" y "ninguna"

Es que son las únicas gráficas que me interesan cuando cambio generalmente quiero una mejora del 80% sobre la gráfica anterior.

Salu2.

@Pepillo:

Ciñéndome a la encuesta, la Titan, en mi opinión es mejor gráfica. Como sabes vengo de un SLI de GTX580, y prefiero sin dudar la Titan. Dentro unos meses, un año, quien sabe, seguro que hay nuevas y mejores opciones, eso ya depende de ti. Pero entre una u otra, creo que pocos elegirían una 690.

Saludos

Si seguí con gran interés tus comentarios donde pones a la Titan como superior al SLI GTX 580, es que no estoy desconforme con mi GTX 580, pero seguramente tampoco lo estaré con una Titan, si probaste algún juego reciente que diferencias podrías destacar del SLI a la Titan.

Salu2.

@ferelxyx:

yo creo que sin dudarlo la TITAN pero esperaría a que bajase algo de precio

saludos

No creo que bajen de precio y si bajan lo perderé posiblemente por devaluación del dólar como me pasó con la GTX 285.

Salu2.-

@fjavi:

Pagar ahora mismo por una 690 lo mismo que por una Titan no tiene sentido, la 690 quizá rinda un pelín más pero con más inconvenientes, el primero es que van a bajar muy rápido, después la memoria y que con una Titan aguantas hasta que bajen de precio y metes otra, para mí es mejor opción la Titan si el precio es similar, le veo unas cuantas ventajas.

La 690 será muy buena opción si baja de 600€, porque son tarjetas que van a perder valor mucho más rápido, eso sin contar que prefiero una monogpu si rinde casi como la dual, te quitas problemas de perfiles y MS, juego que salga tirará bien, sin perfiles SLI ni driver, además que viendo por el camino que vamos en cuanto a vram la 690 se va a quedar corta mucho antes por tema memoria, pues es potente pero va algo justa de vram, si aguantas un poco sin comprar quizá veas alguna oferta de 690 en poco tiempo, si saliera la serie 700 bajaría mucho más rápido y si no pues dos 680.

saludos

Comparto con lo de la VRAM me parece escaso contra Titan, de precio dudo que bajen, las Titan solo se consiguen a pedido y demoran de 15 a 20 días pero ya hay más ofertas en el mercado y por ahora cuestan 200€ sobre la GTX 690 y si recuerdas hace 2 o 3 semanas estaban a 1100€ además que la GTX 690.

Otra alternativa es esperar a Junio-Agosto a la GTX Titan LE con 5 GB pero aquí llegarían entre Agosto-Octubre y viendo como sube la moneda americana dudo que la diferencia de precio por el tipo de cambio compense la espera posiblemente se termine pagando valores parecidos.

Salu2.-

If I had to choose without spending too much, I would get another 580. If I had to spend more, I would get the Titan. And I wouldn't even look at the 690 if I had a 580 and could do SLI.

And I say that as someone who has always opted for the previous generation Dual in second-hand condition, like the GTX295.

It's just that the GTX 580 SLI apparently performs the same as the Titan but I would have to change the power supply and I would be left with the problems associated with SLI and with cards with 1.5 GB of memory.

@Patagonico:

If I followed with great interest your comments where you put the Titan as superior to the SLI GTX 580, it is that I am not dissatisfied with my GTX 580, but I probably will not be with a Titan either, if you tried any recent game what differences could you highlight from SLI to Titan

More performance, greater stability, lower consumption, lower temperatures, without the problems associated with SLI, ….. in short, everything better.

@Patagonico:

It is that the SLI GTX 580 apparently performs the same as the Titan but it should change source and I would already be left with the problems associated with SLI and with cards of 1.5 GB of memory

No, it does not perform the same. And even less now that we know how to overclock the Titan. The Titan performs notably more.

Does an OC Titan perform more against an SLI GTX 580 OC or stock?

Regards.

If it performs something more, imagine that it is a little behind the 690 which is supposed to be like an SLI of 670 or a little better, with that OC of 1150mhz it should be very close to the 690 stock, what happens is that an SLI of 580 also goes up well, according to this it easily surpasses the 590 and although an SLI performs better I think that at high resolution the Titan will show more differences to the SLI of 580, in the new demanding games I think the Titan will be close to the 690 and will be more powerful than an SLI of 580.

GeForce GTX Titan review - Overclocking the graphics card

that is, if the 580s go up, which are no longer cards for high resolutions seeing the amount of vram that the latest games that are coming out ask for, you will have to lower options if you use a 1440p resolution, not for lack of power but of Vram, games like Hitman I already noticed that it consumes all the vram at 1080 in some areas, while it doesn't eat the vram it goes pretty well.

[Pepillo]

I'm not talking about reviews, or comparisons with 590, or anything like that. I've had an SLI of GTX 580 for almost three years, and a single Titan performs better than that, which is what I have now. The only point is to say that my SLI went up very little, stable only 825, 875 or 900 in some short benchmark. In contrast, the Titan I have has no problem passing 1,200 Mhz in all tests and games, and in all of them it performs better. The more modern the game or the benchmark, the more noticeable it is, sometimes only 5%, sometimes more than 30% superior. And without the vRam factor, my 1920x1200 monitor doesn't exhaust the 1,500 of the GTX 580, and with "only" a 980X …......... In my opinion there is no color, if we add to this the temperatures (here again my GTX 580 were "ovens"), the consumption, the smoothness, and forgetting about SLI profiles, "white and in a bottle" ;D
