Gaming Performance Comparison

In terms of overall gaming performance, the graphical capabilities of the Nvidia GeForce GTX 780 SLI are noticeably better than the Nvidia GeForce GTX Titan Black Edition.

The GTX Titan has a 26 MHz higher core clock speed than the GTX 780, but the GTX 780 has 144 more Texture Mapping Units than the GTX Titan. As a result, the GTX 780 exhibits a 118 GTexel/s better Texture Fill Rate than the GTX Titan. This still holds weight but shader performance is generally more relevant, particularly since both of these GPUs support at least DirectX 10.

The GTX Titan has a 26 MHz higher core clock speed than the GTX 780, but the GTX 780 has 48 more Render Output Units than the GTX Titan. As a result, the GTX 780 exhibits a 40.1 GPixel/s better Pixel Fill Rate than the GTX Titan. However, both GPUs support DirectX 9 or above, and pixeling performance is only really relevant when comparing older cards.

The GTX Titan was released less than a year after the GTX 780, and so they are likely to have similar driver support for optimizing performance when running the latest games.

Both GPUs exhibit very powerful performance, so it probably isn't worth upgrading from one to the other, as both are capable of running even the most demanding games at the highest settings.

The GeForce GTX Titan Black Edition and the GeForce GTX 780 SLI have the same amount of video memory, but are likely to provide slightly different experiences when displaying game textures at high resolutions.

The GTX 780 has 240.8 GB/sec greater memory bandwidth than the GTX Titan, which means that the memory performance of the GTX 780 is massively better than the GTX Titan.

The GeForce GTX Titan Black Edition has 2880 Shader Processing Units and the GeForce GTX 780 SLI has 4608. However, the actual shader performance of the GTX Titan is 2822 and the actual shader performance of the GTX 780 is 4156. The GTX 780 having 1334 better shader performance and an altogether better performance when taking into account other relevant data means that the GTX 780 delivers a massively smoother and more efficient experience when processing graphical data than the GTX Titan.

The GeForce GTX Titan Black Edition requires 250 Watts to run and the GeForce GTX 780 SLI requires 500 Watts. We would recommend a PSU with at least 600 Watts for the GTX Titan and a PSU with at least 750 Watts for the GTX 780. The GTX 780 requires 250 Watts more than the GTX Titan to run. The difference is significant enough that the GTX 780 may have an adverse affect on your yearly electricity bills in comparison to the GTX Titan.

GPU Mini Review

Mini ReviewGeForce GTX Titan Black Edition is an enthusiast Graphics Card based on the 28nm, Kepler Architecture.
It replaces GeForce GTX Titan and comes with a full Kepler GK110 Core. Thus, it offers 2880 Shader Processing Units, 240 TMUs and 48 ROPs, on 384-bit memory interface of 6GB of fast GDDR5. The central unit runs at 889Mhz and goes up to 980MHz, in Turbo Mode. The memory clock operates at 1750MHz.
It's thus related to GeForce GTX 780 Ti, offering twice as much video memory and full double precision performance.
Benchmarks indicate its performance is over 10% better than the previous TITAN and around 7% faster than GeForce GTX 780 Ti, while the rated board TDP remains 250W.
GeForce GTX 780 SLI is a combination of 2 GeForce GTX 780 put together using NVIDIA's SLI technology.
Together, this combination offers 4608 Shader Processing Units, 384 TMUs and 96 ROPs. This, on a 384-bit memory interface, per card, of fast GDDR5. While the central unit runs at 863MHz and goes up to 902MHz, in Turbo Mode, the memory clock operates at 1502MHz.
Best case scenario, this combination surpasses considerably a single GeForce GTX 690 but ultimately, its performance depends on the driver support and on the 3D application.
Therefore, and paired with a powerful processor, all demanding games are playable at the highest settings. Still, this combination might surpass the 500W barrier of TDP and so it will require a powerful PSU.
