"Not quite the equal of the GTX 690, but edging closer at around 80+% of its performance."

 

Good :tongue:

 

Excellent review. I love the OC vs OC results we do, nearly no other sites do the OC'ing side of reviews as well as us and I also love that Frank maxes out the fan speed to get the max overclock.

It seems like the Titan is really only worth it in tri-monitor setups or for the energy conscious.

 

Can't say I agree with an Editors' Choice here.

Very nice.  But after reading the intro I was really expecting to see a tri-sli attempt at crysis.  Perhaps a little "cost-prohibitive"?  

 

Even with a tri-sli benchmark, I think we would need a dual GTX690 quad-sli setup to compare to  :woot:

I just found the price of the Titan online from a store here in Canada

 

Titian - 1049.99

690 - 1029.99 (on sale reg 1224.19)

 

So for 80% of the performance of a 690. I dont think its worth it at the moment.

 

Thats if i was buying one right now.
