GeForce GTX Titan vs GeForce GTX Titan Black

Intro

The GeForce GTX Titan makes use of a 28 nm design. nVidia has set the core speed at 837 MHz. The GDDR5 memory runs at a frequency of 1502 MHz on this specific card. It features 2688 SPUs along with 224 Texture Address Units and 48 ROPs.

Compare those specs to the GeForce GTX Titan Black, which features a clock frequency of 889 MHz and a GDDR5 memory frequency of 1750 MHz. It also uses a 384-bit memory bus, and makes use of a 28 nm design. It features 2880 SPUs, 240 TAUs, and 48 Raster Operation Units.

Power Usage and Theoretical Benchmarks

Both cards have the same power consumption.

Memory Bandwidth

In theory, the GeForce GTX Titan Black should perform just a bit faster than the GeForce GTX Titan in general. (explain)

GeForce GTX Titan Black 336000 MB/sec
GeForce GTX Titan 288384 MB/sec
Difference: 47616 (17%)

Texel Rate

The GeForce GTX Titan Black is a little bit (about 14%) faster with regards to texture filtering than the GeForce GTX Titan. (explain)

GeForce GTX Titan Black 213360 Mtexels/sec
GeForce GTX Titan 187488 Mtexels/sec
Difference: 25872 (14%)

Pixel Rate

If running with high levels of AA is important to you, then the GeForce GTX Titan Black is the winner, but it probably won't make a huge difference. (explain)

GeForce GTX Titan Black 42672 Mpixels/sec
GeForce GTX Titan 40176 Mpixels/sec
Difference: 2496 (6%)

Please note that the above 'benchmarks' are all just theoretical - the results were calculated based on the card's specifications, and real-world performance may (and probably will) vary at least a bit.

Memory Bandwidth: Bandwidth is the max amount of information (in units of megabytes per second) that can be moved past the external memory interface in one second. It is calculated by multiplying the bus width by the speed of its memory. In the case of DDR type RAM, the result should be multiplied by 2 again. If DDR5, multiply by 4 instead. The better the card's memory bandwidth, the faster the card will be in general. It especially helps with anti-aliasing, High Dynamic Range and higher screen resolutions.

Texel Rate: Texel rate is the maximum amount of texture map elements (texels) that are applied per second. This is worked out by multiplying the total number of texture units of the card by the core speed of the chip. The better the texel rate, the better the graphics card will be at handling texture filtering (anisotropic filtering - AF). It is measured in millions of texels in a second.

Pixel Rate: Pixel rate is the most pixels that the graphics card could possibly record to the local memory in one second - measured in millions of pixels per second. The figure is calculated by multiplying the number of colour ROPs by the the card's clock speed. ROPs (Raster Operations Pipelines - also called Render Output Units) are responsible for filling the screen with pixels (the image). The actual pixel output rate also depends on many other factors, most notably the memory bandwidth of the card - the lower the bandwidth is, the lower the ability to get to the max fill rate.

wtf is the difference that is fucking retarded its just overclocked

John F says:

What did u espect? the only differnc in the name is Black! Otherwise same card. This goes fore all the cards in the GTX series. exept if the name ends whit "ti". Still just aa fom of overclock dho.

Robert says:

Ignoring what these idiots said, the Titan Black has more SPUs and a 7000MHZ memory speed vs the Titan's 6008MHZ memory speed which is significant. This is due to the Titan being a 600 series based card. While the Titan Black is a 700 series based card.
