GTX Titan Usage?

[sidewinder1911]

I was wondering, if one were buying a Titan series card, what would be the uses for it? Because I have seen people purchase Titans to game at 4K, but also to do stuff like rendering. And also, in any scenario, can one justify the cost of purchasing a Titan series card?

Well, if you're just a normal gamer i'd definetaly not recommend the Titan. It's only worth the money if you're going to play with very high - ultra graphics on 4K or if you are working with heavy HD-4K rendering and even then it's not necessary it just speeds things up. So, i definetaly wouldn't recommend buying one if you're just going to be gaming.

Editing/Rendering and 4K gaming=Titan X
Gaming=GTX 980 ti

If your only gaming and playing above 1440P resolution and want to play on the higher/highest settings you will want to run SLI and the GTX 980 ti is a great price/performance card.

Also 6gb VRAM is plenty for 4K as tested by Tweaktown.

Note that the VRAM that does exceed 6gb is with AA being set at maximum which is barely noticeable at such high resolutions and drastically worsens performance.
