There's enough benchmarks out there on this card, but I wanted to give my take and aska question. I have a slightly dated but still strong rig in my sig. I swapped out a GTX 570 with 1GB of VRAM so the difference was massive. I am still sitting here wondering if I should of went with a 780 basic, but the thing that tossed me into the TI's direction was just knowing down the line I can put it in SLI with a newer system and hopefully be set.
Anyway, I am running DAYZ Alpha totally maxed on 1440x2560 along with BF4 on Ultra and seeing no framerate drop. I tried running shadowplay a few times but had some errors, so that may be the games I'm using them with. I will say the Arma engine is an absolute standout. It's in 1440 right now, with v sync, and getting absolutely no stutter. I have 30 days to hold on and possible downgrade to a 780, but with everything getting crushed that would seem like not a huge deal if I'm not strapped for cash. The only bonus I can see if using that extra money to get another korean PLS, instead of using a regular 1080 as my second monitor.
A second level of my review is my Adobe apps I use. After Effects, Premiere, Photoshop, and Lightroom are all running much faster in many phases of their operations. However I can see at times like loading big files or collections into Lightroom the cpu takes a hit. This is maybe an indicator that eventually a Hexagonal Core will help dramatically with design work.
Also Avid seems to think this card is a quaddro, and is running faster than on-site machines I use in my professional career. If anyone is familiar with Avid is passes that dreaded "checking GPU" phase with no issues on startup.
So far so good, and thanks for the input, but still debating if I should trade down.
