I'm looking for games that use a dedicated graphics card as PSYx accelerator (or that original PPU but I think it is obsolete at the moment and probably not even supported). Besides that I'd like to start up a discation about what those PsyX features bring to the game that is in terms of game-play and graphics. Sadly as far as I know those effects are only used for visual eye candy and not genuine improvement in the games physics. I'm asking those question because I have a dedicated water cooled Titan used solely as PsyX accelerator but from what I heard I might actually have a chance to use it as an ancillary* rendering cards in some DX 12 games. I doubt there will be more than half a dozen of games utilizing this features but if they turn out to be good games it gives more sens to keeping that Titan as a PSY-X accelerator. Even though kepler is not particularly good at PsyX but the Titan's still a high-end card that can be decently overclocked due to water-cooling I have on it right now. I keep it at stock, it should never be a bottleneck paired up with a single overclocked 980Ti. At least not with the complexity of PsyX in contemporary games.
BTW. Overclocking this card makes it perform in a league of its own, easily making it as big of a jump in performance as going from a 980 to a 980Ti. A 980Ti clocked at 1300MHz/2000MHz performs abour 25% faster than a stock 980Ti. So the difference in performance is about the same as going from 980 to 980ti and easily more than 970 to 980.
On this chart an
overclocked 980Ti is a whooping 31% faster than a stock 980.
980Ti is 29% faster than a stock 980, so that's even less of a difference. NV could release a premium card with cherry picked dies at name it as Titan X Ultra clocked at 1300(boosting to 1500)/2000. Such a card would practically match a 295X2 such things didn't even happen with new generation that had the advantage of a new process node and now NV could in theory match the previous generation dual card in raw power and offer tremendously better gaming experience.
This is what I meant
That is pretty cool. I have a readon 6970 laying around somewhere so adding it would be fun even if it only improved the performance by 5-10%. I hate selling my hardware and I end up with a lot of deprecated hardware
I know I should sell my parts as soon as I can and that is sometimes sooner then the replacement arrives. The release of the 5870 tanked the value of GTX285 yet there were still people arguing that the NV card is better. Just before that release was the time to sell any 55nm card. Sometimes it is a very wise idea to buy old parts when new parts arrive for example briefly you could buy GTX480 for half the price of GTX580 because there was this stigma around that card and the fact is it was only 5% slower clock for clock and didn't overclock a lot worse. But somehow it is hard for me. I still have Asus Maximus IV Extreme laying around because nobody offered me more money than for a simple mobo so I sold only the CPU. I bought them for the same price and all I could get for the mobo was 1/3 of what I got for the CPU so I decided to keep it. I'm a fan of ASUS premium products especially ROG parts, it's a shame there's no 980TI ROG or Matrix. 7970 Matrix was awesome.
Once again I'm very impressed with what NV has done with 28nm refresh they achieved practically the same results* as they have in the past and that is without the luxury of a new finer process, the only thing helping them was the ability to focus entirely on FP32 performance because they already had the FP64 chip that is GK210 released a bit before GM200. Also the maturity and familirity with the TSMC 28nm helped. My GM200 reaches almost 1500MHz under gaming and my Titan only 1200MHz and that is on water with massive over-voltage. With the same cooling it would reach about 1100MHz so that's quite a gain in the clock-speed alone.
Clarification: The same results as with the release of a new series. Like 580>680. Well, 780Ti>980Ti that's a bigger jump but they sold middle-range chip for high-end prices, I've been telling this from the beggining but people didn't listen that we were being ripped off. The Titans very particularly big rip-offs. They should have never been advertised as gaming cards only as FP64 CUDA cards.
I compared the jumps in performance in different generations.
580>680 --- 34%
Some might say that is the direct replacement and I tentatively agree
**** 580>780 --- 72% but bear in mind we had to wait another year for that to happen
680>780 ---- 27.7%
780>980 --- 32%
780ti>980Ti -- 43%
Actually 980Ti was the biggest jump in performance in recent history as far as dirrect sucessor are concerned. I used BF4 as a proxy for performance it may favor one architecture slighltly over another but it is a good estimate. Obviousely It doesn't include the sudden drop in perfomance of kepler cards in a few of new games like the witcher 3. I had Titan SLI at 1.2GHz watercooled and after burning one card I bought an OC edition 980Ti as a replacement. The 980Ti offers tremendously better performance than those TITANS. I'd go as far as say that OCed 980Ti performs way better in ultra preset than Titans SLI in HIGH preset.
