Performance / Benchmarks
Now that we have seen what this card can do in theory now let's how much can it hold itself when we put it in the real world. We are going to cover several key factors of performance in this section.
General Performance in Gameplay
So how did the GTX Titan performed? The answer is obvious it was AWESOME!. it delivered what it was made for 100 fps over hd gameplay at max settings and some over 70 fps for 2560 x 1440 resolution and 50+ fps in the 4K Resolution on the Maximum settings.
Power Consumption
The card takes from roughly 479 to 570 watts in the maximum gameplay and High End Graphics rendering as it takes about 130 to 155 watts on idle.
that may seem like a lot of power but when you compare it to AMD's R9 295X2 the Titan Z is much more power efficient model. While on the average of gaming performance the 295X2 eats up 510 to 659 watts.
Heat Generation
At the matter of heat the Nvidia is known to be good at these things especially when you consider the fact their cards are generally air cooled models and it also applies on the Z too. The Titan Z manages about 37 to 43 degrees Celsius on idle functioning while it can spike up to 83 to 91 degrees under heavy duress of 4K resolution gaming. but in compared to R9 of AMD with it being liquid cooling system and Titan Z relies on air the Z is less efficient at keeping heat low than its newer Titan X cousin.
Noise Generation
The Z manages to keep its voice down. almost to 35 to 38 decibals and only goes up to 42 to 45 Decibels during heavy gaming. If you are sitting in an empty room the 45 decibels is about as loud as the average background noise in and office but its not too bad for a card with last Year's design
PROS:
- One of the three best 4K-Capable GPU'S
- Very close to perfection in performance at 4K resolution
- Excellent 1440p Performance
- Moderate power consumption and noise levels
- Powerfull 12GB GDDR5 Ram
- Aging architecture and processor
- Runs a little hot compare to other Nvidia models
- Expensive. as relative to performance
As many would go for for the R9 and the Titan X I, would personally give this card a fighting chance because it gives the highest processing and texturing power than all of its predecessors and it has a cool design structure known as the "Pascal" structure with some lights and beams in your PC Case this card would look like a beast. the major issue for me is the price. That 3500$ price tag on new is just killing me. if the money is not an issue for you guys I would totally recommend you guys to Buy it.
