Has anyone gone for the Titan Black yet?

Fruitbooter · 1 Apr 2014 at 22:13

Just wondered if anyone had become too impatient waiting for 6GB 780ti's and took the plunge on one of these beasts?

If so how are you liking them?

I can see some cobwebs forming in this thread

I know there is little to no performance benefits over a 780ti but that doesn't stop some people so was just curious if anyone had actually caved because its the current flagship until the waste of money that is the 'Z'..

Unless you want the compute i think most people who want/need 6GB will wait for the ti's to arrive with it

I thought the titan black WAS a Ti with 6GB of VRAM (+ the compute stuff) but I think it would be crazy for nvidia to have a 6GB 780Ti AND a titan black. Its basically the same thing with a difference name on the box.

The titan black is also a workstation card you can game on quite well, Hence the pricetag,Cant really do that with a 780ti 6GB or 3GB

Gamer appeal for Titanblack will be fairly low If you're familiar with Kepler!

Awesome power but all a little too late for my liking. Personally going to try hard to stick with my 3gb Ti's for a while

I'm sure they will sell well though,as will Titan Z. Scarily

Only hope the the 6gb 780ti aren't much more the the 3gb?

They will most likely fill the void between 3GB 780ti and Titan Black

~£650 - £750 I'm guessing...

Silent_Scone · 2 Apr 2014 at 08:35

I think nearer 650 on launch day.

triss · 2 Apr 2014 at 08:52

The best part might be the price: The 6GB models start at $549, which at this point in time is a $30 premium over the 3GB reference mode

780 isnt supposed to be a huge jump in price hopefully the TI's price will be a similar amount

RetrogamerX · 2 Apr 2014 at 08:56

£650 is too much. I'll skip it then.

Gregster · 2 Apr 2014 at 14:31

$549 = £330 + 20% tax = £396. If there is no price gouging, that will be the price of the 6GB 780.

Theres postage costs to be added on to that etc. It normally ends up costing the same in pounds steriling as it does in us dollars in my experience.

I think we will be looking at closer to Ti pricing than current 780 pricing in the UK market.

It shouldn't equate to much more, as I am guessing the items are made in China and would need to be shipped to the USA, Europe, etc, so shipping should be accounted for in that $549 price tag.

Don't forget there should be 6GB 780s and 780ti according to some sites so there will be a more affordable 780 option and a more expensive but cheaper than Titan Black 780Ti option.

I heard once you go black you do not go back. :eek:

Just to be clear I'm obviously referring to the Ti

The cheapest GTX 780 is £360, the average price of them is £380 to £420.

The cheapest 780TI is £480, my guess is the cheapest 780 6GB will be £420.

You know as well as me that what AMD/nVidia charge is not what we see at the retailers in general. I would also expect around the £420 mark for the 6GB 780 but that would be the fair price and we don't always see that.
