about £300

6GB on the Titan and 3GB on the 780.

If you are a triple screen or 4K gamer, the Titan has plenty of extra VRAM. You would still need a couple of them though to push the power needed to make some of the modern AAA games playable.

Titan - compute card that was never really meant for gamers
780 - nVidia's flagship gaming card

The level of hate is the biggest difference.

TITAN manages about a 10 whereas the 780 tops out about 9.5 on the hatred scale.

780 = wife "you can take me to dinner and get me a new pair of shoes if your getting that"

Titan = wife "you can take me to dinner and get me a new pair of shoes if your getting that and where are we going on holiday"

Otherwise what gregster said

Edit: got mine today, off for dinner about 7, off on holiday to crete thursday, force is strong with this one

Were you the lucky winner of that lightning for £420?

Brilliant buy considering I paid that for a Gigabyte one just over a month ago, still a great clocker though so can't complain.

People don't hate the cards...people hate their prices, or what it (Titan's price) did to the prices for cards below

Holiday season in the GTA thread

Titan was/is a beast of a card. Its price was a **** take and basically lubed people up for the 780's.
