Does anybody have both cards? If so, can you tell me if there's any performance difference between the two for rFactor 2? I'm purchasing one of the 2 and I'm leaning towards the Titan, but if there's no performance difference, I'm debating spending the extra $350. I'll be running 2D Surround (5760x1080) off that single card. Benchmarks in MultiView or single monitor at 1920x1080, (NOT 5760x1080 non-MultiView) would be appreciated. Thanks!
I've got a 780 running a single screen. I don't think you would have much problem running 3 screens off it. Titan is too much money imo. I'd say it also heavily depends on what CPU you've got.
He seems set on this budget and gpu make. Don't think he wants to limit himself to 2GB vram either. If you want to spend the extra and can build towers no worries you may want to look at this. http://www.pccasegear.com/index.php?main_page=product_info&cPath=193_1465&products_id=24045 lopl Personally I think the GTX780 OC will do the job nicely.
I'd recommend the new Palit 780 GTX Superjetstream over a Titan http://www.guru3d.com/articles_pages/palit_geforce_gtx_780_super_jetstream_review,1.html Way better value for money, but the same goes in that regard for a 770 Jetstream by Palit. Although hard to say how it works for tripple monitor setups. Coolers are phenomenal, very high quality, their coolers for this generation are worth alone about 40€.
Well I have the EVGA GTX780 SC ACX and it is the current highest clock 780 off the shelf. just plugging the card in and its default speed is set to 1084mhz now how does that sound. I run single screen 3D at the moment with x16 CSAA & 2xSGSS beautiful and perfect and always over 70fps at silverstone. With 3D off I think I get 110fps min at silverstone with 20 car grid infront of me in single player. There is large differences between the quality of the silicone on graphics chips, your mileage may vary largely when overclocking, ASIC quality is the significant indicating number. If one has lower ASIC number = worse card, this number determines how card will boost - and because current Nvidia cards are based on GPU boost number has important value. Lower value means that you have for your money lower quality. I have e.g. 69% GTX 780 SC ACX, which is not very good and my max stable overclock is boosting only to 1189MHz. 100% should see you hit around 1250mhz. 58.3% is very bad card. you can find your ASIC using right click on the window title bar of gpu-z program. You can increase the potential of your overclock with reapply TIM on your GPU and heatsink/cooler, but thats not for everyone.
Thanks all for the suggestions, though I was looking for raw numbers, not opinions. Completely understand that it would be rare that someone would have had both cards. I ended up going with the Titan. I'm not interested in overclocking anything, and saw the additional RAM on the card as the deciding factor. I'm swapping out a 680 that's already working so anything I get above what I have is just a plus. I want the additional memory for future sim growth.
