What is this GTX Titan? / Z?

[cm0scm0s]

So I've been looking at GPU's lately and i see on GPUBOSS that the

GTX TITAN has a higher score than the new GTX 980.

So when i checked the GTX TITAN it said it was part of the 700 kepler (and some maxwell) architecture.

How can a 700 card be faster than the flagship of 2014 i ask myself.
I'm thinking that the TITAN editions are something other than x60-x80 series?
And what about this TITAN-Z ?

I'd like to learn more

the titan z is a dual card it has 2 gpu cores a single 980 cant match it

Normal TITAN is single card,

Still blows the 980 away

in actual games the 980 will berst the titan but because of its 6gb of ram and double precision ability it destroys it in alot of areas but in gaming the 980 is better and price ways its way better

Using GPUboss as a reliable source is like using IGN.com for reliable game reviews

remember just in gaming the hierarchy doesn't lie

I didn't know this.

so for example the I7 4710MQ is not slower than my i5 2550K Dekstop cpu just because its on cpuboss?
i feel like a noob.

How do i asses the power of hardware now that my main websites are rendered useless XD

each thing does things better or worse in different categories but in just gaming

Look at legitimate sites like Anandtech or Toms. NEVER trust a site that says a 780ti can beat a 295x2

GPUboss uses the same benchmarks as just about any GPU hierarchy chart out there. Passmark and 3DMark are both reputable. Their "scoring system" is not what you want to look at. That's where I think the comparison to IGN comes in, but in terms of performance, their ratings are the same as any website.

GPUboss rates the GTX 780 higher than the R9 295x2, the GTX 770 higher than the R9 290, the Titan Black higher than the 295x2. Their rating system is not correct

yep its insane
