ZOTAC GeForce GTX TITAN AMP! Edition Pro Reviews

NVIDIA's new GTX Titan shows the full potential of the Kepler architecture. Based on NVIDIA's flagship GK110 silicon, it delivers outstanding single-GPU performance, easily claiming the title of "world's fastest GPU". ZOTAC's AMP! Edition comes overclocked out of the box, with both increased GPU- and memory clocks. As a result, the card ends up being 4% faster than the reference design GTX Titan. When looking at 2560x1600 only, the increase is even 6%. Compared to NVIDIA's GTX 680, the card is over 25% faster, but ends up 8% slower than the GTX 690. While the GTX 690 requires proper game-specific SLI profiles for optimum scaling, and NVIDIA has done a very good job here in the past, there are still titles that don't see optimum scaling. Thanks to Titan's single-GPU architecture, you won't run into these issues, but you would have to pay the price premium. Compared to AMD's latest HD 7990, we see Zotac's Titan deliver the same performance when averaged, which is mainly due to AMD's poor CrossFire support. The HD 7990 would be faster on paper.

While we have not tried every GeForce GTX Titan available it is clear that the Zotac GTX Titan AMP! Edition is one of the fastest cards available right now. It offers a definite increase in performance over a regular Titan. Should you get a Titan instead of a GTX 690, two GTX 680 in SLI or even an AMD 7990? In the end the price will be pretty similar and we like the idea of having one GPU do the job better than any multi-GPU solution that may or may not work Speaking of pricing we know that the card is about $100 more expensive than the regular Zotac GTX Titan here in Sweden and we expect that this will be pretty similar in other markets too.
