Did you find yourself yawning at the idea of a new budget-priced GTX 750 Ti yesterday? If you're looking at the top end of the market, Nvidia's GeForce GTX Titan Black might suit. Their new premium card is designed to oust the Titan, and can be yours for the hefty asking cost of £785.

This will be the ultimate Nvidia graphics card from now on, which is sad for Titan owners who could once feel superior to the GTX 780 Ti. That expensive purchase has already been relegated to essentially third place in the Nvidia GPU stack.

While Nvidia is spinning the GTX Titan Black as the 'ultimate weapon for the gamer who demands the best' I would definitely hesitate recommending even the wealthiest of gamers go out and drop the best part of £800 on a single graphics card. The GTX 780 Ti isn't really going to suffer by comparison and is almost half the price. In short: unless you really need that DP performance for your epic 3D rendering then you can probably just ignore the Titan Black.
