Geforce GTX TITAN Owner Club

I get both of mine Thursday of next week, I can't wait. :banana:

 

It is if you like playing BF3! You can't play a benchmark.

 

I don't play BF3, but when I did I would've rather seen how video cards ran it than a synthetic benchmark.

Certain BF3 maps can still stress a pair of GTX 680's at 1920x1080.

 

Any crysis 3 Benches ?

 

Hey guys, I have a question, if you don't mind. I'm getting my Titans Thursday of next week.

I live in a pretty warm area, and ambient temperatures are pretty high. My case is well-ventilated, but still (probably due to high ambient temps), my OC'ed 680s get temps in the 80s.

My question is...is it OK to move the "temperature target" higher than 80? I don't want to damage my cards, but I would like better performance. I'm thinking I will move it higher, but just wanted to know what possible dangers there are in doing this.

On the "Titan Overclocking Guide" on this very website, they moved temperature target to 90; this would be something I'd like to do, if it's OK. I would like to OC my Titans.

Thanks in advance.

 

I think it would be best for you to test it out for yourself and see how it acts.

Alittle gaming since the sever was packed lastnight
I maxed out the max setting but too bloomy on some maps

Whole lot of stuff blowing up all over da place

 

The short answer is yes, it'll be fine.

This is what I have found:

I see the card will start to downclock when it gets within ~10C of the temp target.

I used a manual fan profile which ramps up to 65% when the gpu temp gets over 70C.

With this setup, my cards temp will max out at ~80C. In order to stop the card downclocking as it approaches 80C, I set the temp. target to 95C.

Because the temp target is greater than 10C more than the max temp. I know the GPU will reach, the card will not downclock because of temps.

I have also found that you don't really want the gpu reaching much over 80C, it will hurt your OC potential.

I have fairly low ambients at the moment and so using this method I'm able to get a really nice OC using this method. I am aware that in summer I will probably need to drop it down a bit in order to keep the temps down but I'm certain that this method is the best way to go with Titan.

 

Thanks for that info!

I will definitely test it out like cowie said, but it's good to know that it should be fine to raise it.

Dear everyone who knows much more than I (yes you're included),

I am just about to hit the buy/PayPal button on pcspecialist.co.uk's site and have them build my first serious rig.

The only components I currently own (when they arrive in a few days) are a 27" Asus VG278H Bundle V2 3D Black LED HD Monitor 1920x1080, 50K:1 300cd/m² 2ms.

A Razer Mamba 2012 Elite Wireless 4G Mouse, a Corsair Vengeance K90 Keyboard, some Creative Gigaworks T40 2.0 Speakers, and finally late last night a pair of Astro A50's (that was a silly impulse buy but they look cool so f-it).

So I want to make absolutely sure the setup I choose now will push this monitor to it's VERY MAX. I want the best gaming experience possible without going too crazy..

Currently I've selected:

The Coolermaster Cosmos 2 Ultra Tower

An Intel Core i7 Six Core Processor i7-3930K (3.2GHz) 12MB Cache

Asus Rampage IV Extreme: Intel X79, Socket 2011, R.O.G

16GB (32 has a backorder) Kingston KyperX Beast Quad-DDR3 2400MHz X.M.P (4 x 4GB)

2x 6GB Nvidia Geforce GTX TITAN (I imagine they'll be in SLI but it does say it on the site)

480GB Kingston HyperX 3K SSD

4TB WD Caviar Black

12x Blu-Ray Writer Drive (two of them)

Corsair 1050W Pro Series HX1050-80 Plus Gold Modular

Corsair H100 Hydro Series High Performance CPU Cooler

Arctic MX-4 Extreme Thermal Conductivity Compound

Creative Sound Blaster Recon3d

Dual-Band Wireless 802.11N 450Mbps

Windows 7 Ultimate



Have I overlooked anything? Are two Titans the best option for best results?

I really appreciate any advise given, I'll wait 24hrs before I hit the buy button just to be safe..


Much luv - Alex.

 

Ok, this site obviously had a driver problem if 680's sli are bearing titan sli!
Infact, these benchies are so far out? Look at the far cry 3 sli results, 33fps on 680 sli. I run that res and get allot higher than that.

 

This will be an awesome system, are they overclocking the cpu for you or will you do this yourself?

The only thing I would say is the monitor @1920x1080 is not going to stress the Titans at all! I would imagine the cards are overkill for that res but it will be nice to have that much power for sure and unless you oc that cpu at that res you will be very cpu bound I would have thought.

 

Thanks for the help guys!! Really I appreciate it!!

I didnt see an option for OC my CPU on their site. I'll call their customer service tomorrow and see if that's an option I can add over the phone..

If not I'm going to be doing hours of OC'ing research it looks like.

What did you mean in your final sentence "unless you oc that cpu at that res you will be very cpu bound I would have thought"?

 

is it hard to OC your/this/my CPU?

 

Overclock it yourself they will charge you like 50pounds for that man.
The board has pre-set overclock settings in it already.
That would be a slamming rig thuo.

 

who knows how they would stress it too, maybe if it posts at the oc, they call it stable

 

I think that Maximus 4 you want,will overclock the cpu in the bios. There should be a couple of automatic ovecerclock pre-sets in there.

 

I think I saw somewhere this mobo make OC'ing easy...? or simpler than norm..

 

"Maximus 4" ? (sorry, "noob")

 

ok gonna click the buy button now. Says 7 - 9 working days till dispatch.. this is going to be a longg couple weeks
