These bastards nvidia and intel pay gpuboss for faking results. at the start screen they say "gtx 780 is better than titan" if u compare them titan has better specs. and there is no way in hell that titan crap is better then 295 x2. Look at the specs 5 gflops vs 11gflops. this gpubossshit is not true. 295x2 is the worlds best graphics card.
Titan Black is better because are black And because i said
udin gambut make this artikel
I want to upvote you, but you said doubling the graphics cards will double performance which it definitely won't do. http://youtu.be/cxc6cb3_y0w?t=2m7s
The simple answer is.., No its not any better than the 295x2. Check it out here : http://amzn.to/1k2imxx (Special Discount link)

Ugh read my comments above
High five you figured out something in your lifetime
No shit read above comments

HAHAHA dont hate cus only 1 gpu
These benchmarks are done with 1 gpu regardless of how many there are on the actual card. So 295x2 benchmark x2 = actual benchmark.
LOOOOOOOOOOOL
Probably Passmark doesn`t support Crossfire/SLI or dual GPU cards and tests only one of the GPUs inside the card... This can be proven with the average Passmark score for Titan Z which is 7044, lower than the average one of the Titan Black. This seems to happen also back in time with the same situation for the ''older'' HD 7990 and GTX 680.
whaaaat?
Passmark is broken, horribly biased towards intel and Nvidia. In Real world gaming performance the 295x2 has 90%+ better performance
Doesn't Nvidia and Intel pay these passmark and other benchmark bullshit to lower AMD's score? I'm pretty sure they do and that's one of the reasons Intel is getting sued in Europe.
i don't believe that shit at all
Screw the total score etc. I just look at to the specs with numbers like memory bus, vram, clock speed etc. One should know what he/she needs. FOr example I do not need render output processor so, I will not care if a good card has less. This website scores in overall. If you need memory speed go for TITAN, if you need higher BUS and VRAM go for R9 295X2. Their proces are nearly same.
passmark sucks.
Titan Black is better than 295x2?
