You guys are making me want one

 

[Smokey]

I was thinking of getting 1 or 2... but figured I needed another as replacement for my 650Ti dedicated PhysX card ;-] Gonna miss that 690!

lolwut

 

[Zeth]

Anybody upgrading to a single Titan, or is everyone going crazy with SLI? Doesn't seem like a gigantic leap from a single OCed 680. I'm guessing it's much more desirable in an SLI configuration.

I am, going from 1.5 gb Asus 580 to Titan. Ordered from newegg, hopefully it ships today? I might be going SLI down the road, but I have no plans for it as of now.

 

[fivehorizons]

I was thinking about picking up Sk3tch's 690 but I think I'm going to get a single Titan and a new 1440p monitor.

 

[Raiden]

Push it to the limit.

Even cooler than Smokey's link, just google 'I Need a PC'. 1st result.

If only you had PCI-E 3.0. What a shame. Also

1st Place.

Tripple thanks. Last time i was into PC gaming was back when Half Life 2 released. The jump is going to be huge. And also i actually have money to buy decent stuff now.


Yay!

So is anybody disappointed at the noise specs?

Blower style coolers generally suck.

670 reference blower was tragic, and having disassembled one to add a third party cooler (Arctic Mono) I can see why.

Tiny fan blowing air across a shitty heat sink, it's inefficient and almost always noisy.

First off, it's vapor chamber and can't be compared with the majority of stock coolers.

Secondly, have you actually heard the Titan run? They are actually very quiet and their noise isn't as intrusive as many GPUs under full load. The cards pushing 75* + at a high fan speed and they make less noise than my Palits with a huge, ordinary third party 3-fan cooler that usually is very quiet.

This isn't a bog standard tunnel stock cooler of old. Just like the 690, it's fine engineering in my opinion. ( That said, I have not heard the 690 in action ).

 

[Alacrity]

anybody order one from newegg? has your order processed? the wait is killing me.

 

[mkenyon]

I personally found the 690 annoyingly loud. My Matrix 7970 is silent in comparison. I'll let you know what I think about the Titan when I get it.

They stick with the blowers because they don't need much in terms of case thermal dynamics. They can work in systems with an anemic 120mm intake, SFF, cases with only two slots, SLI two slots apart, etc etc etc.

Going to something like the ASUS DCII limits compatibility, and that's the last thing you want to do with your card.

Me. I'm upgrading from 6970 crossfire. Might not be a big upgrade performance wise, but I can't stand the stutter I get in almost every game.

Oh, any upgrade from that setup is going to be a slice of heaven.

Remember my old Crossfire setups drove my away from PC gaming, I hated playing on my PC because of it. The reason why I ever bought a console.

Wow, first of all I never said anything about Titan.

I was talking about blower style coolers in general and responding to another poster and the noise concerns he was talking about.


Hence my "almost all" part of my post.



You kids need to chill out.

 

[Smokey]

There was nothing hostile about his response....but yes us "kids" (not you of course) need to chill out

Glad to see what you guys have been doing with it, but being at the top of that chart is like proclaiming one's self "King of Turds". No offense, we're just getting more picky with the choices of non-reference coolers out there.

 

[memecomplex]

My Titans in SLI seems to be a bit louder under load than the 690... sharper intake sound.

Gonna play with them a little bit over the next couple of days, but there's a pretty good chance I'm only keeping one card.

 

[Sethos]

You kids need to chill out.

I think you're the only one who needs to chill out here lil' man

 

[memecomplex]

But man that second Titan does make a beastly PhysX card!
I'm getting 46% utilization on the 2nd GPU, usually 31% on the 650Ti. It makes the Hawken experience more immersive without losing too many frames... but I might sing a different tune when my 120hz monitor arrives, by then it's turn off everything that doesn't get me consistent 8.2ms frametimes. But right now, gaming on the Kuro, it's nice to have all the bells and whistles.

Edit: I may have misread the graphs and mistook temp for GPU utilization XP

 

[Smokey]

I missed out on a Kuro. Was in college when they stopped making them :l

Dang dude, it's nice to be young!

Just saw the new Sony and LG (IPS panel) 4K TVs yesterday, they look amazeballs! For kicks I tried Hawken at 4K res and I got around 60fps (SLI), must be godly on those 4K screens... even at 60hz.

Got in an order on Amazon. Awwww yiss.

Just realized my Amazon order was for the Signature edition.

When I get that package, I have to do an extreme #esports self shot with the t-shirt. Wristband and all.

 

[SquiddyCracker]

Made some time to squeeze the Titans into my SG09.

Before:

Family shot:

The 690 is still the best looking card Nvidia's ever produced, dat magnesium casing!

After:

It's a tight squeeze! Do note Gigabyte does not provide an SLI bridge either... gotta have one on the ready.

Quick round of Hawken proves my theory, the Titans are bitchin at PhysX. On my 690s I see drops of up to 30 fps when I fire a rocket causing exploding debris; with the Titans the fps drops only 10fps and it goes back up in the blink of an eye. Sweet!

Wait, what?
How large is that SG09 case?
I thought it was mATX, and I've yet to see a mATX motherboard that has slots for two GPUs.

I think you are confusing mATX with ITX.

Ah, that yeah, that makes sense.

A 6 dB reduction is half amplitude, though it rises to 10 for perceived values. If the performance is going to be a touch restrained at stock, then they should really be hitting about 5 or 6 dB below the next loudest card (the 690). As of now it's half that value.

This was one of the Titan's key selling points, was it not? This, cool temps, and OC potential.

My GTX 480 originally shipped with this shirt as a bonus from TigerDirect:

It's made out of a material that, fittingly, gets way too hot to wear in the summer.

I bet you have a decent card in your system already and your smart girlfriend is working to inherit that card.

Am I in the ballpark?

She's buying the card to get rid of him. Possibly.

If you want to "get rid" of someone, you buy that individual Fermi cards.

That's my Fermi joke for today. LumpOfCole out.

 

[Smokey]

Is the F2P credits that come with the Titans actually decent and useful? I haven't played PlanetSide 2, Hawken, or World of Tanks so I don't have a reference to know if what they are giving us is adequate in game.

She doesn't game much, but I did promise to build her one So maybe.

From OCN regarding clocks and fan profiles:

Has this been confirmed? I'm waiting till I get off work to test out for myself.

I was shooting for really low temps and had my fan profile set for 100% by 70c. Couldn't even do +100 on the core without valley crashing. Temp target was 94c and it was crashing at 66c

Yeah it looks like its pretty definitive. I know of at least three people that have posted results that lowering the fan profile will allow the card to remain stable at slightly higher clocks.

Serious, serious oversight from Nvidia on this. Very disappointing, but here's hoping someone will be able to come up with a custom bios and fix this stupidity.
