Sorry if I missed it, but have you tried using Win 7 since getting the Titans?
Yes
Sorry if I missed it, but have you tried using Win 7 since getting the Titans?
Q3? Rumours seem to point to a Q4 release of the 700 and 8000 series cards, with many of them expected to come out in Q1 2014.
Alright so I have taken out the Superclocked Titan, and moved the OG Titan to the first PCIe slot. I'm still getting "314.09 driver has failed, and has successfully recovered" message. However with only one card in here, it continues loading BF3 after that message and I can still get in the game. With two it would just freeze and I would have to restart my computer.
Is your motherboard's BIOS updated? I used to get some crashes when I updated my GTX 480s to 680s, but once I updated my mobo's BIOS, all was good in the world.

Waterblocks installed, hooray! But not without some trouble:
The good - 25C idle, 36C under full load, no more throttling, and able to OC to +100 on the GPU clock (already using EVGA SC cards)
The bad - My MCP655 wasn't able to handle 3 Black Ice GTX 360 rads, my CPU, chipset, and 2 GPUs. The flow was awful, so I had to throw in an old MCP 355 after the third radiator, and now it's fucking cluttered and ugly as hell. The thing is just sitting outside the case ATM.
The ugly - I tried using 2 Bitspower extenders in parallel, but the water just flowed right through them, and didn't even circulate in the card. I had to tear down my loop again just to fix it. And then when I put it back in serial with only one extender, it was leaking like a motherfucker. I think I've got it controlled; been leak testing for 2 hours, and haven't seen a drop. Also, I had fucking butterfingers, and accidentally dropped one card from about 3 inches onto my table. No real damage done, just cosmetic - the plastic surrounding the 4+2pin power connector cracked off.![]()

I'll try that. Seems I'm on 3304 and there is a 3603 version out.
Hey Sk3tch what Motherboard do you have? I have the Asus Rampage IV Extreme and the same processor that you do and am having a horrible time overclocking it. I lost my OC that I originally spent a ton of time working on many months ago, but when I updated the Bios on the Motherboard, I lost the file and I don't remember what I did, but I also had a 4.7ghz on the processor.
If you have the same mobo, do you mind posting or pm'ng me your settings to achieve your overclock?
Thanks!
Sweet! Who has more fun, you or your son?
Clearly the dinosaurs are for Sk3tch while his son plays on the BenQ setup.
Damn. Pics?
Man, Crysis 3 is a beast. It ran like ass at 1080p/120hz with my GTX 690/3820 @ 4.5GHz and it still kinda has a bit of jank to it with 3x Titan/3930k @ 4.7GHz at the same resolution. Incredible looking game...but wow.
Have you tried running it with 2 x titans at 1080p? can you get a constant 60 fps with that?
I have not. I honestly am not that into the game at this point. I am sure you can find benches for Crysis 3 with 2-way SLI Titans online pretty easily. With 3-way SLI Titans I'm definitely over 60 fps it's just that it's got jank because I'm on a 120hz monitor and there's a decent amount of fps fluctuation. As has been previously posted - the game looks to be CPU bound. Not sure where else to go there...as my CPU was a 6-core 3930k running at 4.7 GHz in my Crysis 3 tests.
EDIT: wow, beautiful Blackvette94!
Which do think looks better, this or the Lambo build I did?
Try reseting your CMOS if you have problems again(it will reset your settings/overclock, but you can still load a previously saved profile with the overclocked settings).Upgraded the BIOS and the problem went away...with one Titan at least.
But I have to ask - how the hell do those things stay cool? I have okay cooling in my case - nothing grand, but also far from abysmal. Even with my fans cranked up, my 5870 always ran about 75c, and my 570 runs 80c. With those Titans right on top the PSU and choking for air, I would think they would greatly exceed the temps I get. Granted, they're newer and more efficient... but still...
Its not just the price tag, the increase in power compared to a 680 its pretty slim. For that money I would be expecting 80%+ not what its giving. To be fair, the Titan is not doing very well either on the newest games. Crysis 3 and 2500x1600 is killing it as well. We need a new generation now!
I don't know how it decided to flow right through the connectors, but the first time I booted up after a leak test, my cards were idling at 45C, and 36C, which set off an immediate red flag. I started Heaven 4.0 for 2 seconds, and they jumped up to 60C, so I turned off my system, and started to troubleshoot. Once I went into serial mode, I got the proper temps.How did it just flow right through them though? I have 2 Bitpower Extenders in parallel as well and water is flowing properly to both cards and temps are generally with 1c of each other. Never seen more than 38c at max overclock on the GPU's. I was terrified about Parallel since I cannot mentally understand how it flows properly, to me it looks likt it would flow right through at least one of the extenders, but Mkenyon assured me it is the best set up and it did work.
I've been using this MCP655 through 3 builds, and for almost 4 years. I'm guessing maybe it's just not pumping the way it did when I first bought it. I'll probably pick up a second one sometime soon, just so I have a spare in case this one breaks.Hawk269 said:I also have the same pump and my flow has been pretty good. I have 3 Rad's, 2 Gpus and CPU in my loop and I have the power of the pump at 3/4 right now. I was debating on getting a dual pump, but I figured my pump would handle it and it does it well.
Hawk269 said:Sorry you had such problems. BTW...use Afterburner instead of Precision X for your SLI set up. In SLI for some reason it does not feed my 2nd GPU the voltage properly. When tested individually, GPU 1 would hit hte max 1.200v, the 2nd GPU would hit 1.187v. But once I went to SLI, Precision would still feed one GPU 1.200v, but the 2nd would top out at 1.162 which was not enough to sustain even a +100 OC. Switched to Afterburner and boom, both cards are what they should be.
Like all GPU's, some are made different and my good one will hit the 1.200vlimit, the other 1.187v, but like I mentioned testing individually, Precision did great..once SLI is engaged it messed something up.

Did you put the in & out tubes on the same side of the cards ? that would make the water go right through them when they're connected parallel ...
by the way here is a nice visualization of how parallel works compared to serial
single 655 should have enough throughput to run it safely, but a second pump never hurtshave you got a flowmeter ?
@Blackvette94 that's quite an impressive project ! But why did you switch from the MurderMod? If I come across a cheap TJ07 I'd definitely buy it for a summer project ... so much nice modular parts available
This is fucking gorgeous. 9.9/10. (needs nickel pipes instead of tubes)
Not that ASIC quality is really that important - but what are you guys getting with your Titans? Mine are all in the 60% range! Crazy low compared to my past 680s. I wonder if they're having problems with the yields in comparison?

Sethos, you need to make a GIF of someone making it rain, but replace the bills with Titans. The text should read "NeoGAF PC Community".

Gotta love that Psychosleeve, I still have a red/white set. I'm looking to try my own hand at it this time around, but I have a feeling I'll end up getting him to do my mobo, molex, and SATA power connectors.
You can't go wrong with Charle's modded Tj07!!! I really enjoyed it! He is getting ready to launch the muderbox mkII www.murderbox.com
86 and 66. Since I'm on water, I want a lower ASIC, I guess. Both of my cards are performing about the same -- boosting at about 1228 mhz, 35 and 36c under load.Not that ASIC quality is really that important - but what are you guys getting with your Titans?

Time for a test bench. That Murderbox MKII can be your main stable workstation to post test results from.If I didn't swap vid cards several times per week for testing purposes I would happily drop $1200 on that sexy beast.
Might be time consuming, but this could be the most valuable GIF on the internet. Immediate picture response to hate, or thinly veiled insults of PC gaming on GAF.Ohh, sounds time consuming - I might look into it![]()

...and any other PC gaming forum. The hate is strong. Everyone that bought a Titan is a dumbass and has too much money.

mkenyon/et al. - any opinions on the ASUS VG278/VG248 144hz panels? Thinking of "upgrading" from my BenQ XL2420T* 120hz...

BenQ XL2420T and TX are the best monitors I've ever seen. Other than the higher refresh rate, what makes the ASUS a worthy challenger?
Sk3tch, this may not be your area of interest but have you done any downsampling / custom resolutions on that monitor? Still looking into buying one, for kicks but I need to to do some proper downsampling. Thinking 3840x2160 ( At 30Hz or something like that ).
Lower input lag. I think it's something ridiculous like 1 or 2ms. With lightboost, these panels (same ones used in the new BenQ 144Hz monitors) apparently have CRT like smoothness of motion.BenQ XL2420T and TX are the best monitors I've ever seen.

It is the new hotness. If you are familiar with Callsign Vega, he actually bought a few of these and then replaced the matte cover with gloss. The finished product was absolutely gorgeous. The matte finish is the only drawback, but the smoothness of motion and input lag is second to none.mkenyon/et al. - any opinions on the ASUS VG278/VG248 144hz panels?

I have not - you mean with all three monitors? I don't own the ASUS - I own Acer GD235hz monitors and BenQ XL2420T* monitors.
Worthwhile to upgrade? I think I'm already going to be dumping two BenQ XL2420T's...so I guess it wouldn't hurt to just go all out...argh. Damn this hobby...![]()
