When someone buys one and tries your workunits on it? It appears to have a few more usable cores and a faster memory clock than the GTX Titan, but not much difference otherwise.

With its 4:1 SP to DP ratio it's a good card for Asteroids@home but not worth the money for here, IMHO. BOINC <<--- credit whores, pedants, alien hunters ID: 35135 · Rating: 0 · rate: / Reply Quote

Save your pennies! If you are intent on buying high-end for GPUGRID, the 780(with or without ti) is a better choice. Matt ID: 35140 · Rating: 0 · rate: / Reply Quote

Last modified: 19 Feb 2014, 13:58:11 UTC The Black edition should drive down prices of the GTXTitan, GTX780Ti, GTX780 and possibly the GTX690. The GTX770 probably sits to centrally to benefit from the GTX780TiBlackEd or the GTX750Ti but the GTX760 prices might fall too.

It's a card for a special niche, but this niche is not ours. MrS Scanning for our furry friends since Jan 2002 ID: 35156 · Rating: 0 · rate: / Reply Quote

And if I have read and understand correctly, that 6GB can not be used in Windows, 4GB seems the max. Also a 4TB disk is the maximum Windows can handle.

Some games and pro software can exploit the 6GB GDDR, and some CUDA apps like lots of GDDR and DP (Fluid dynamics), its these areas that will drive prices down, despite the Black ed not niching to here. In the grand scale of things, GPUGrid is but a sub-micro niche. Should be a good 'un for Asteroids. FAQ's HOW TO: - Opt out of Beta Tests - Ask for Help ID: 35166 · Rating: 0 · rate: / Reply Quote
