  • Benchmarking the Nvidia Geforce Titan 6GB against popular games from 2013 to 2023 using a period-appropriate gaming PC.
    Support Iceberg Tech: / icebergtech
    Nowadays we’re accustomed to the top-end graphics cards being expensive. Not simply expensive compared to the cheapest options, but expensive compared to an average monthly salary. That hasn’t always been the case. Gamers needed to be convinced that a graphics card would ever be worth that kind of money, and the way Nvidia chose to do it was through their Titan series. From 2013 to 2019, the Titan range occupied the rarified air of the four figure price range, and it all started with this - the $1000 Kepler-based Geforce GTX Titan 6GB.
    Yes, I said Kepler-based. Don’t laugh.

      Totally agree, they are very modern minimalist artistic look to them. STRIX and FTW cards are the only thing that come close. I just took apart a dead 3080 FE and wow, they really stuffed the parts in the there and reinvented the blower cooler. I broke one of the fan ribbons accidently also. I thought that I had the ribbon all the way unlocked and the PCB slipped off as the old paste let go and it ripped like butter.

It used to trip OPP on my power supply until I sorted that out. I used to run 5760x1080 back then at 120 FPS in 3D. Those were the days.

    Until a few years ago, Titans had their own drivers. Based on the Studio drivers rather than the Game Ready line. This is clear evidence that they were marketed at Workstations (specifically Game Devs), and not just aimed at gamers with too much money.

But why would a corporation buy a Quadro M6000 12gb for 5 grand, when you can get almost the same workstation performance from a Titan X Maxwell for 1/5th the price. Every time a corpration bought a titan instead of a quadro was thousands of dollars, nvidia could have gotten instead.
      So they dropped the workstation features and dropped the titan name. The whales still buy the 90 series cards for well over a thousand dollars. But now corporations need to buy Quadro cards (or RTX A cards as they are called now), if they want the workstation features.

      Technically, I didn't go directly from Titans to 6900, it was SLI Titans → GTX1080 → RTX2080Ti → RX 6900XT. Going from Titans to 1080 was a good move, since SLI was on life support by the time. 2080Ti - not so much, I kinda regret the money wasted, but I also moved to 4K at the time and 1080 just couldn't cut it. 6900XT though, that thing *stays* at least until 5090 comes out, or maybe even 6090, depending on the circumstances.

    Biggest flaw for Titan performance was always it's cooler.
    Undervolting helps a good bit with keeping it at around 1GHz mark on stock blower cooler, however you can't do it without vBIOS modding :(
    I own Titan Black, which should be 5-10% faster than OG one (depending on how much VRAM bandwidth is the limiting factor).
    Fun fact : If you enabled FP64 full speed mode (1:3 vs. 1:24) on it via driver tick box, your performance will get worse in games :D

    Perhaps a month or two ago, I started watching computer hardware videos again after not following it much for years, probably since about 2017 or 2018. After having gone through the madness of learning what new standards are and all that, I've begun to accept it and I occasionally think about upgrading my PC from Devil's Canyon to a new Ryzen. Man, not only is new hardware REALLY expensive, but it also would not benefit me in any way. I don't want to play any games my current PC can't play and I don't have any reason to make the games I create require such expensive hardware. I'm very happy as I am, making games that are actually optimised and that normal people can play.

    For those curious, Baldur's Gate 3 does run on a Titan Black (and I assume the OG Titan, and 780/ti) - but the map features only show the place makers and no base map using DX11, and Vulkan crashes to desktop upon loading. This is a known bug, but since it is below recommended spec for the game, it hasn't been a priority. This may have been fixed in the last two patches I cannot say, I switched out cards in my second system for an Arc a380 experiment in October.
    If you want to see the map there is a very annoying workaround - it requires copying DXVK files into the main game folder, a la Linux, to force DX11 to run an older version of Vulkan (if you want/need google 'black map fix for BG3' - I believe I found it on a Reddit post). On other older Nvidia cards this is virtually frame rate suicide - but the Titan, which would pull respectable 60ish figures, drops into the 30s (which is still devastating).

  • @Franzl0rd

    I owned an OG Vanilla Titan back then, bought it because of the potential of OC. Stock Titan smoked everything, but fitting it out with watercooling and unlocked BIOS with ramped up voltages could easily yield another 20%+. Core Clocks up to 1250 MHz were possible and VRAM matched up to that aswell. Also a big thing back than: Downsampling. You needed a special bios with modified timings and clock states but then you could downsample every game to your hearts contents. Mostly played in 5k back then - for older and modded games of course.

    I wish they’d bring them back; “Titan” was a badass name. A peasant like myself has never had one, but I can sort of relate to the part where you said the people who bought this card brand new felt disappointed that it didn’t hold “top tier” performance very long 😅 that’s basically how I felt this year with my 3060ti. Of course I’m aware it wasn’t (and has never been) a “high end” card…but it does perform marginally faster than the 2080 Super, which was technically a previous gen flagship (aside from the slightly faster 2080ti). So for a brief moment I felt a sense of satisfaction that has since been destroyed by 2023 😭 jokes aside, I’m still perfectly happy with it and enjoy high refresh 1080p native and 1440p using DLSS

    I think it would be good if you would make a comparison between a RX 580 2048SP with this to compare an old FLAGSHIP with a somewhat "midrange' GPU. I believe the two have some distinct difference.

    Test the $2999 Titan Z: This was a dual GPU beast with 12GB VRAM, which should still have been adequate in 2023 games, but the aging Kepler architecture and fading SLI support kept this from aging well. In games that don't support SLI, this only allocates one GPU and 6GB VRAM.

    I fkg love this review. I recently purchased a GTX 980 Ti (on purpose), as a secondary card simply for the DVI-I analog output to connect to CRT monitors and TVs in pure, end-to-end analog gameplay.
    Unfortunately, I missed out by a day or two on a Titan X for a reasonable $75 U.S. I still am kicking myself.
    But I console my injured pride with the knowledge that my new, used 980 Ti has the nice water block, while the Titan X had the obnoxious blower cooler, but I still would have preferred Maxwell when I'm talking in my sleep.
    Maybe I'll still find one and switch the coolers and sell off the inferior combo. There are STILL people asking for $400 for the Titan X - maybe they've been in a coma?
    Even so, I have to admit that I'm maybe even more excited to see this old, instantaneously responsive analog config via the warm glow of X-Ray radiation than I am about my newly acquired RTX 3080.
    And THAT'S coming from someone whose last major GPU investment was a GTX 690.
    So, stupidly, I'm holding hope that I can still snatch a steal on the Maxwell variant AND side-load into an RTX 3090 with no additional investment after reselling the 3080. A man has to have goals, right?
    But ahhhh, nostalgia. Dreams of Quake and Doom and Wolfenstein and Sugar Plum Fairies dancing across my Sony Trinitron screen....

    Phenomenal video, I love Kepler , Nvidia disrespected this generation a lot, the drivers were terrible, my 660 wasnt that usable by 2015 in new games, but it established a standard. The Titan is basically a 250w 1060 6gb in 2013. Id still like to own it, theres probably a driver version out there that offers better performance but this aint that bad either.

    There was a key value proposition for the original Titan you didn't mention.
    1/3 rate FP64.
    It had unlocked FP64, operating at the full 1/3 speed of FP32 that the GK110 was capable of. The consumer Kepler cards had 1/24 FP64 speed. The Titan was a fantastic value if you needed that, it was much cheaper then any Tesla option available at the time.
    Granted you lost the scalability features of Tesla, but if you could do without that then Titan was a wonderful value.
    It definitely wasn't for everyone, but looking at it squarely through the nose of gaming ignores a niche but crucial feature that made it a very easy sell for me back in the day.
    Alas, they removed this benefit from the Titan line after the Titan Black/Titan Z.
    Still, here is a comparison point. Feed it the right workload and that old GTX Titan I had in 2013 is still several orders of magnitude faster then the RTX 3080 I have in this computer.
    There was a brief shining period where the Titan was a tremendous value before they neutered the line after the Titan Black, and later Titan's were just gaming cards with a fancier name.

    Very cool GPU to have, but anything before 2015 isn't great. Kepler gpus are infamous for their batching rendering, in which they render large batches of geometry. It's not exactly well optimized for the latest titles.

    Wish one of these companies would try out dual gpu on one card and dual gpu in chassis. Then I could connect what effectively amounts to four gpus to run all games for all time......probably why there were so many 'issues' they 'just cannot figure out'.

I am on 1440p VRR so i would need hardware that can run the games i want to play at 60-100 FPS given my screen resolution. The issue starts when this changes from mid to high between generations. Years ago a 1070 was just great for that resolution and framerate and today you cant even run some games with 12 GB of VRAM...

      Driver support has now ended on that series. If you already have a 570 you have the option to use NimeZ modded drivers to keep them up to date, but if you're shopping I'd recommend looking at the RX 5500 or 5500 XT instead.

    I got a ryzen 5600 and rx 7800xt now. I do believe nvidia purposely sand bags some of thier old cards. I noticed that when i was using a 780ti while back, I played hellblade senua's sacrifice and was getting 45-50 fps at 3440x1440, then couple year later i played it again same system and display and it was like 20fps. *99% sure it was maxed out settings both times.
    Got my first big radeon card now and its fricken awesome, and i highley recomend it over the nvidia cards unless your mental and want to burn your money and get a 4090, really all nvidia has right now imo.
