Geforce GTX TITAN Owner Club

I just ordered one so happiy to join the club
but I was wondering if my psu power will handle it will ?
here is link to it http://www.gigabyte.com/products/product-page.aspx?pid=2793#sp

my specs are :
CPU I5 2500K
GPU GTX 680 (TEMPS IDLE =30-37 LOAD= 50 - 68)
MOBO Asus P8 Z77-V Pro
RAM Corsair Vengeance 8 GB 1600Mhz
Western Digital 2
CRUSIAL M4 128GB
PSU Gigabyte Superb 720 watt plus
CASE Gigabyte Sumo 4112

 

That will work fine for a single TITAN.

 

Bingo. It's hard to beat with the GPU's basically idling along on the toughest titles at well over min FPS of 60 with all the eye candy. The temps barely ever reaching 70C and extremely quiet.

 

Anyone heared when titan comes with other cooling solution form exemple asus/msi etc ?

Atm im running a 2600k, 2*680sli watercooled but i figured im gonna sell my whole computer when Haswell i7-4770K makes it to the marked and pick up two titans to use with it, along with new mobo, mem etc. Will prolly just use a h100i to cool the 4770k and would like the titan cards to have somekind of better cooling on them then the stock version.

 

your cpu is holding it back, i saw a huge difference between a single 680 and titan

unsure if well see say twinfrozr or DCU2 variants of these cards.. youre likely better of to go full water

 

oh i got my water block installed + evga bp on my card. got total of 720rad space, had to redo whole water system and was a b1tch to do, but im sure ill find out if it was worth the hassle when i get home from work

 

Well it probly wont go passed 50c anymore so thats good right off the bat.

 

Mine here too ..

Got a 360 + 120 Rad and after an hour of Crysis 3 im getting 45C on the Titan and 47C on my i7 980X.

 

Yeah then i should easily hit <40c

 

Why dont you run your 980 higher than 4ghz?

 

cant wait to get home to test out. phone pics

 

If you have a 2600k at 5Ghz, I don't see the point of selling everything to go to Haswell, which will be 5-10% faster than IB. If anything wait for IB-E and then upgrade. Just my 2c.

 

Agent I thought you had two titans.

 

thats what I thought

 

Ya...I 2 am in the same camp. Although I do like to see some nice benchmark scores now and again so I will suicide overclock my 3770k from my 24/7 overclock of 4.4ghz just to see some higher scores. But ya, even at stock Titans in SLI chew through games now and run nice and smooth

On a side note though. I just installed Bioshock infinite and I noticed when I boost overclock my Titans with Precision and set the fan curve profile, I run 97% sli scaling and keep a nice boost at 1032mhz on both cards with no overvolting and no throttling. That is with the game on all ultra settings and 2560x1600 and getting fps as high as 170's

Weird thing is I tried it with v-sync enabled and the game ran at a steady 59.9 fps, but my cards throttled down to default 875mhz and gpu scaling dropped down to 40%, and the fps was steady. Thought that was pretty kewl feature. I did not know that was an implementation in the NVidia driver, as I have maximum performance set in the NVidia control panel. If this is old news I apologize, but it is new to me...

 

i bought two, sold the worst one of the two.

 

Yeah so gpu temps were good, pegging 39c at most in crysis 1 at 1215/7200 mem. so id say im happy

 

If it is a feature its craptastic! It basically killed V-syncd 120Hz gaming for me.
In every game with V-sync enabled (120HZ) Titan throttle's down when getting 60FPS or more :S ....

With my block installed i gained a much more stable OC then on Air.
Im running at 1163/6400 atm and its really smooth, also im seeing higher %Power usage then on Air. Normally it never really exceeded 100% but with the block im seeing as high as 104% in Crysis 3!.

 

I finally got 3dx9 to work on this rig again

I did nothing at all BUT i logged on to my sitty steam account they had a new update that fixxed MY issue
the last one two weeks ago made dx9 go bad in the figgen first place,am in process sueing them becuase i could not run dx9 3dmarks.
So if i win this fictional law suit i will have free 3dmarks for everyone

 

You could have loaned it to me for further testing.
