Rx 470 vs titan 6gb
- Thread starter DW.
- Start date
Lol, there's probably as much difference between your 470 and the Titan as there is between your 470 and a 480. So with that in mind the 480 is "miles better" than your 470
That's where you're wrong. I don't just mean pure performance though the 470 would trash a Titan in a lot of newer games, especially dx12. The 470 is much more power efficient, has better support and basically newer is just better.
Same one I've got. Great card but you do have to tweak it a little to get the most of it. A lot of the reviews I suspect don't bother and have them at stock, but there is performance to be had from it if you do.

Well obviously I was talking about performance in terms of frames per second. Shock horror in mid range 2016 card beating high end 2013 card in terms of power efficiency, who'd have thought it?
My comment was a little tongue in cheek, hence the smiley faces, but the fact remains that the Titan will beat the 470 in some games, whereas the 470 won't beat the 480 in any!
And neither of the other two cards in question can be overclocked? C'mon man, you've gotta compare stock clocks with stock clocks.
Nope, since switching back to nVidia ive had more problems with drivers than i did with AMD. One driver nearly screwed my machine over sending it into a boot loop where i couldn't even get to the bios menu so yea.... nVidia drivers are great.
That aside not had any other major issues touch wood. But AMD drivers have been flawless for me and my card just kept gaining performance which is hard to say with driver updates for my 980Ti lol.

Well maybe you should have read OP's post then. He asked which was the better card, not just which is the fastest. And yea the Titan could win some games I didn't dispute that.

470 is marginally behind in some games and far ahead in others. So on balance 470 wins on performance. Additionally the games it beats the Titan on will be rapidly increasing from here on, not decreasing. The gap is only going to widen. Plus it has more features and opens the door to Freesync which is becoming standard on anything that isn't a Gsync monitor.
It's concerning that some people just reflexively said "Titan". :/

I wouldn't even consider buying a Kepler card today. I would like to play around with a Titan though, It'd allow me to compare it's bench results to what I got from my 780 Classified a few years back. I keep a folder of results from 20 or so benches done with each card I've owned over the last 5 years. It'd be good to add Titan results to that.
FYI,

Are the Kepler Titan's still the fastest double precision cards on the mainstream market?

Nvidia has 144hz monitor issues on desktop since May. More than 10 drivers released since then, and the issue remains.
Have a look at the relevant thread in the official forum to see the rage. (Including mine)
Let alone the issues with SLI, latency issues some having with Pascal card etc.
AMD put out a driver that users with 2730Z experience flickering o Freesync, 5 days later new driver came out fixing the issue. And not only that bit applied perf improvement also on other cards.
AMD has the better drivers today and for couple of years now.

If I was buying I'd go for the 470 if its just a loan for a while I'd take the Titan instead just to say "I had one once!"
Doesn't matter what you say people simply have closed minds. And you can bet he'll be posting the same nonsense on non-techie forums parading himself as some kind of "expert" you'll see the same misinformed tosh preached as gospel everywhere you go.

If this really is the case then why do you keep buying AMD cards? Only a fool would keep buying from a vendor that keeps giving them driver problems. You get less problems from Nvidia so why are you not just buying Nvidia products.
Again why are you buying more crap than you are good.
My guess is you don't have any AMD cards and probably never have. You heard way back that AMD drivers are crap and it's stuck in your brain.
Here's a quote from the Nvidia driver thread.

The op's question is simple. I think this got lost in the thread. The simple answer is the 470 is better.

He's since said he's buying one of them.
Then this so far

Fair enough and I have actually no idea what is better for reference but the Titan is getting rather old now.
I ran a 290 for two years, drivers were absolutely solid, i have run this 970 for a year, Drivers are equally solid.
