I just bought a 770 to replace my 570. Is there any reason to keep the 570 around for PhysX or something?

If a game doesn't use PhysX, will the 570 go into low power mode? Is a 620W supply enough for both?

I wouldn't use 570 as a Physx card.Sell it and grab a 650 if you care too much about Physx.

Yes, artificial FP64 restrictions. Fermi had no "artificial" restrictions, you got what you payed for.

The following answer I received a few months ago from James Wang, a technical marketing analyst from NVIDIA:







Q: In the GeForce family, double-precision throughput has been reduced to 25% of the full design. Was this decision made to discourage the use of these products for professional use (where Quadro and Tesla are targeted?) Considering the fused support of single- and double-precision calculations in the CUDA cores, how was this change even applied?



A: Yes, full-speed double precision performance is a feature we reserve for our professional customers. Consumer applications have little use for double precision, so this does not really affect GeForce users. Having differentiated features and pricing is actually fairer for all. Given the option of enabling all professional features on GeForce and having gamers pay for them, or disabling them on GeForce and offering a more compelling price, we feel the latter is the better choice.

Looks pretty "Artificial" to me.

Looks like you finally googled what "double precision" means, job well done. :thumbsup: This is after you googled and realized double precision has nothing to do with gaming performance, despite your insisting it for several posts, and so you continue to make up lies, pathetically so. The truth is you still come off as someone who has no idea what he's talking about and just threw a lot of money at a video card to try to be cool for a day. You would love for me or someone else to be jealous you spent money on a card, and each of your posts reeks of desperation in that regard.

In either case, how about you stop derailing this thread in your desperate attempts for validation and we start talking about the GTX 700 series.
Bah...I've been into SDK's since 2006 aka PhysX rocket 1.0...and I've learned how to progrma back when the tools of the trade was Turbo Pascal 7.0 and VB 4.0 :wub:

You should do a Google before you put you foot in mouth

You're right, they did limit Fermi FP64. Didn't remember hearing about that, at the time everyone was excited it had any compute at all :thumbsup:

We all need to 'get over it' and quick whining about limits. If you don't like, don't buy it. Every product does this...

CPUs (check)
GPUs (check)
Car engines (check)
etc...

Cool, more "stuff" you googled so you can come back here and try to make people believe you, nice work. :thumbsup: Go somewhere else to try to heal your bruised ego and stop derailing the thread. I'm not entertaining this anymore.

As if you never use google in forum debates. Please. Everyone does at one time or another even if it's just to brush up on a subject.

More hurt lies from you...keep them comming...I love salty tears combined with lies tried dressed up like valid "arguments" :wub:

Any more "nonarguments" from you? ^^

And yeas RS is good for bargain-hunters with his Price/perf...but for enthusiasts...worthless...

You should make a poll on our forum and ask people which system they consider more enthusiast:

Yours:

i7 990X + Titan

vs.

What I would have built with that $ instead:

i7 3930K OC to 4.5+ghz with Kraken X60
EVGA GTX780 ACX in SLI

I hate to break it to you, but any advantage the Titan might have had over the 780 is completely wiped out by your 1st generation CPU. Even i7 4770K at stock speeds is nipping on the heels of i7 970:
http://techreport.com/r.x/core-i7-4770k/comp2-cinebench.png

Enthusiasts you keep referring to do not keep $1000 outdated CPUs that get owed in nearly everything by a $350 4770K overclocked:
http://techreport.com/r.x/haswell-oc/cinebench.gif

Heck, your $2000+ CPU+GPU will get its ass handed by i7 4770K + GTX780 OC because your Titan OC cannot possibly make up for the 45% IPC slower CPU you have it paired with. In other words a $1000 CPU+GPU (4770K+EVGA 780 ACX) setup is faster than your $2000 CPU+GPU setup. And then you make fun of people here for buying "mid-range" quads with IGP inside? i7 4770K OC mops the floor with your CPU for 1/3rd the price and in strategy/RTS/MMO games wrt to frame-times minimum frames, it would make your i7 990X look like a grandmother.

Oh, your Titan itself would lose even more performance since your board is running on slower PCIe interface. Ya so you spend $2K on a CPU+GPU setup that is slower than a $1000 system in 99.99% of games. Keep telling yourself that you are a PC enthusiast while the rest of us can build a system for 50% of yours that's faster.

---

With the launch of GTX770, GTX680 should start to see sales for those shortly. Might be a good time to start hunting for a $330 GTX680.

Just noticed the standard GTX770 Gaming card from MSI has an updated TwinFrozr cooler but the Lightning uses the old design with louder/smaller fans. How did MSI manage to mess this one up?

You are funny ^^

I mean all that text to cover up the fallacy of a constructed fallacy of other peoples needs...to jugde my purchase.


25% of the poster buys AMD CPU...so they cleary don't care about CPU performance, but some other metric.

And Multi-GPU used as an better option for me? :wub:

Stick to giving advice to people who have miid-range needs...okay.

I don't find your statements to be very intelligent. Being an enthusiast and getting the most for your money are not mutually exclusive...

Why would I spend more for less just so that you can say that I'm now an enthusiast?

I'll take the 4770k and SLI 780 GTX over your setup any day and not be an "enthusiast". At least I'll get higher FPS and better performance.

Being an Enthusiast vs Having better performance

I wonder what the majority of people will choose....

That review cannot be taken seriously. The worst I have ever read in my life.

Battlefield 3 - 1920x1080 - Ultra 4x AA - DoF 90
HD7970GE = 60.1 fps
HD7990 = 145.6 fps

HD7950 V2 = 49.5 fps
HD7870 XT (LE) = 56.3 fps

BioShock Infinite - 1920x1080 - Ultra DDOF
GTX770 = 81.4 fps
GTX780 = 88.7 fps
Titan = 144.1 fps

Crysis 2 DX11 - 1920x1080 - Very high Hi-res Edge AA
GTX680 = 69.8 fps
GTX670 = 73.2 fps

Dirt: Showdown - 1920x1080 - Ultra 4x AA
HD7950 V2 = 81.6 fps
HD7870 XT (LE) = 92.2 fps

Titan = 99.6 fps
GTX780 = 103.9 fps

Tomb Raider - 1920x1080 - Ultra 4x AA

HD7950 V2 = 38.4 fps
HD7870 Ghz edition = 69.7 fps
HD7970GE = 100.9 fps

GTX770 = 46.2 fps
GTX680 = 69 fps


GTX780 = 56.9 fps
GTX580 = 62.9 fps


Wake me up when these people learn how to test videocards.

^ I'm wondering if they reviewed those cards at all. Looks like they just pulled random figures out of their arse without even checking if they made sense. That site ought to be expunged from the internet.
