GTX Titan Z or X

[HexDust]

Alright I need your guys opinion.

Would a Titan Z be albke to handle After Effects VERY efficiently? When I mean efficient I mean like 11 second renders on 8 second videos with insanely edited clips. Would a Titan Z be perfect for it? I'm leaning towards it because of the 5780 Cuda Cores and dual SLI. Does After Effects CC have y effect towards that?

If no, Cards recommended for me?


Also I might buy the Titan X due to its new Maxwell architecture. ShoulI wait for that?

The Titan Z is a dual gpu card and to top things, Titan X is rumored to have much weaker DP performance than Kepler, so the Titan Z would be the way to go for what you need.

Although I would suggest you wait a few weeks until both Nvidia and AMD have their next lineups on the market, AMD's 390x WCE is supposed to have smoking hot specs, up to 1TB/s memory bandwidth and 8.6 TFLOPS single precision computing performance.

So I should wait a bit for the specs on the other companies too? Titan X came out today in US.
Still leaning towards the Titan Z from its insane Cuda cores and dual sli. But the Titan X is a bit faster in performance with a $1500-2000 less cost.

The Titan X came out performing at 0.2 TFLOPS in DP mode, definitely not a card for professional work, which if you are looking into the Z, I guess is what you need. On paper the AMD 390x WCE is going to roll over the Titan X with one hand tied in the back but it will come out around June, only you know if you can wait that long.

If you wont be gaming you could just get a quadro 6000

I will occasionally play some games like (In order):

1) Counter-Strike
2) Titanfall
3) Skyrim
4) Payday
5) Minecraft

But will a quadro 6000 cut it for Titanfall?

The Titan-Z is going to run right about the same as a pair of GTX 970s in SLI.

390x has no cuda cores they are steam processors so not sure if they are optimized

Maybe I'm wrong about this but I thought that CUDA was just nVidia's nomenclature for stream processors.

Anyways, I'm going to post a new topic regarding my question but I came across this thread while searching first. My question is this: I've got (I feel) a great gaming setup right now. 5960x @ 4.5, DDR4 @ 2800, X99-E WS (2x PLX's) and 3x 980 refs. I'm Skipping the Titan X, not because I don't have the money to buy a tri-SLI setup, but because I don't play many games anymore and I feel that even someone with unlimited funds (I don't fit quite in that category) should skip GPU generation upgrades. I figured this out when I went from dual 780ti's to triple 980's. I really should have gone from my X79 platform to the X99 and just purchased a 3rd 780ti. Not only would I have spent less money but I'd have similar performance, if not better going WC'ed on the 780ti's. Also, I'd have the better memory bandwidth and more CUDA cores (stream processors?). I guess the only downsides would have been power consumption (big deal, I'm running a 1600 watter) and losing a gig of VRAM (which isn't a major issue since I play @1080 atm.

So I guess I'll get to my question, when retailers were blowing out thier stock, I bought an EVGA Titan Z SC cheap as a backup card. In my opinion, the Titan Z is the only true multipurpose card that can render at decent speeds and also play games. I know it's essentialy a 6 GB 780ti SLI since I did test the card and did notice that NV control panel did recognize both GPU's. Since I have ZERO interest in keeping this card, should I sell it now? I've seen unbelievably ridiculous asking prices on both Amazon and eBay for just the standard versions. Prices well over 3k (which is more than double what I paid brand new for the card). I still have one of my 780ti's in its box that I could keep as backup in case all 3 980's failed while playing Arkham Knight, lol. But seriously, is now the time to sell that monster to someone who will get real usage from it? Also, I'm not looking to rip anyone off but I would love to turn a nice profit. Does 2800 seem like a decent asking price considering it's the SC version which just can not be found almost anywhere anymore?

Please reply with any suggestions, thoughts and/or criticisms. I'm Very open to all of them.

adobe programs are all optimized for nvidia CUDA

CUDA cores are Nvidia's version of Stream processors. CUDA is an API that only works on Nvidia cards. There are a lot of professional apps which work best with CUDA.

Another point of note. He is talking about professional applications, not gaming.

That Titan Z is one powerful card heh
