GeForce Titan vs GeForce 980M GTX

I noticed when building a laptop, if one chooses a Titan it would cost like a 1000 USD more over a 980M GTX so I assumed that the Titan is the king since it costs an arm and a leg.

But when looking at GPU Boss site, the 980M GTX wins in almost very benchmark

am I missing something here?

Never heard of this titan anyway? or is it a desktop only GPU?

 

GPU boss is a piece of goat leg of a website.

Please ignore:

when looking for information. A 980M does not come close to a Titan X. You'd need two 980Ms to match or beat a Titan X. You likely could not even OC a 980M to beat a Titan X, especially if the Titan X is OC'd as well.

 

Thats the Titan Black D2, not Titan X.

I would estimate Titan Black to be 10-20% above GTX 980M

 

First of all, your link compares the original titan to the desktop 980. Also, if you compare launch Titan to the 980m, you aren't taking into account driver improvements.

 

All the Titan class GPUs are desktop only. They're far too power hungry for laptop use.

The 980M is currently the best mobile GPU available. You won't regret it, if you decide to go for it

 

Oh.

Either way, GTX Titan still beats a 980M stock for stock.

 

thanks a lot for the info guys! will never look at that website again! Usually its the first google hit you get when searching for X CPU/GPU vs Y CPU/GPU

 

Add PassMark to that wall of shame too

 

Don't remind me. I still remember passmark listing my CPU below an i7-3770. How? What'd you get that from, a netbook?

 

More like Failmark amirite

 

Yeah tell me about it... even going by the HQ chips, 4720HQ scored less than a 4700HQ, by virtue of users with low end laptops running the benchmark and scoring like 6k. Mine scores 9600 or so. Most of those benchmarks at passmark, you need to manually enter each category and see all the benches it has, and then see the real performance. There is like 20% or more variation between scores for the same CPU.

 

Yeah, they can drive themselves into oblivion. It might actually HELP people if those websites didn't exist. Passmark is not 100% worthless for desktop CPUs, but laptop chips are a joke on that thing.

 

Yeah, GTX 780M SLI was 10-20% below Titan if I dont remember that wrong.
From the few games Anandtech tested 780M SLI and 980M, 980M was still maybe 10% below that again.

 

Look at this newer review though. 980M in the P750ZM beats 780M SLI in 4/5 tests, including Metro LL at those punishing settings which is surely GPU-bound. Maxwell driver optimizations? Or dat 4790K?

 

wow, I dont know really.

Compare that against GT72 with 4710HQ:
Bioshock Infinite went from 16% below 780M SLI to 3% above.
GRID 2 from equal to 16% above
Metro 2033 the same results

 

All the other games can be explained by the CPU. Metro LL is definitely GPU-bound at those settings but it's close enough I'd say it's within margin of error.

 

I'm certain the CPU plays a big part in it, due to the GT72 being generally worse than the 780M SLI.
The other thing is that my FPS is a bit different than theirs... I'm assuming theirs is average. Mine is higher than their averages, though not be a ridiculous amount (~5-7fps). But I keep my CPU at 3.9GHz, so that may explain. Also, it's unknown if they're using stock 780M vBIOS (773-823MHz) or modded (850 flat).

Either way, single 980M is indeed something to get over SLI 780M. It's more of a sidegrade that lacks the downside of "some games only use 1/2 the power".

Now, excuse me while I resume my jealous vibrations. *VIBRATIONS*
