I can't *believe* these lazy developers keep making file sizes so damn large. Btw, how does technology work?
The latency is pretty much terrible on most 4K televisions. Additionally, due to a lack of quality chroma subsampling, text can appear grainy/blurry on a television vs a monitor.
Finally, there's the higher DPI on a monitor, typically. And they come in sizes more appropriate for a desk.
I had an Amazon order, but then PCCG posted up that they had stock so i quickly jumped on it since it was only a 20 dollar price difference. So i cancelled the Amazon one of course.
There is a way around the shitty Aus price, but it would involve having someone in a non high tax state in the US to recieve it for you then pass it on via mail with a lower declaration of the price.

Hmm i was expecting more from 2 Titans X i got around the same score with my 2x 980
Firestrike

Firestrike Extreme
http://www.3dmark.com/3dm/6280974?
Still deciding should i pull the trigger on 2 but spending extra $1500 CAD to get roughly 25-30% extra performance im not sure i got burned already with original Titans and said never again
Nice, well done and congratulations!
I received the email from PCCG with the details and had a moment of silliness where I clicked through to adding one into my cart... Before talking myself down off that cliff!

The only monitor manufacturer that talked about DisplayPort 1.3 is Seiki, and they have delayed the 32 and 40" 4k models with 1.3 to Q2 2015. They probably won't support G-Sync, but there's a slim chance that they could have Adaptive Sync.

Looks like the EVGA SC is confirmed as 1127/1216MHz, not a bad step up from stock.

Been testing off and on.
For some odd reason, whether I'm using Precison X or Afterburner, I cannot get the power usage to top 100% (despite the slider being maxed at 110%). My Firestrike scores are also lower from my initial scores that I posted earlier, even with a +103 on the core.

This happens to me when i just got my 970. My guess is that either the driver is not correctly functional somehow or the program is not updated hence there are weird problems.
But for starter, I suggest try uninstalling NVIDIA driver by DDU and Afterburner by Revo and install everything again clean.
Where are the pics???
Right here sir!
Will start benching soon
There's more at the quote. I didn't want to flood this page with them again.
A little concerned about that. I've had nothing but EVGA from the MSI 580 Lightning Xtremes to this point. Their warranty was always a big thing to me...even if I never had to use it. I don't even know what the warranty on these Titan X's are tbh.
Well...I have experienced 4k 60fps and it is the real deal.
I loaded up BF4 Final Stand, Giants of Kareilia 64p MP map. Everything Ultra including 4xMSAA. Never dipped below 80fps. I did the TR benchmark, Ultimate setting @ 4K and I got 88 fps. For kicks I did Ultimate + 4x SSAA (lol) and I still came in at a playable 44fps. Everything on stock clocks.
I really miss Gsync though. Will have to keep my eye out for upcoming 4k Gsync sets.

Looks like 3 years - so that's good. I've worked with NVIDIA before (NV Surround issues) and they've been great. So I doubt much will change on the hardware front.
If you get a third card you won't miss G-SYNC as much.
Man, can't wait. Should be interesting to see how it fares with The Witcher 3. Probably won't be able to get Ultra @ 60/4K, but 1440p with SLI X's sounds very doable.
Now just waiting on Amazon/Newegg to finally release 'em. I ain't getting further robbed by AU retailers, and I can easily save $200 (each) by holding out for Amazon/Newegg.

Thanks for the link. Non-transferable warranty though
. Oh well. Don't think a 3rd hasn't crossed my mind...but if so that's a few months down the line! I miss the responsiveness of GSYNC. In BF4 even though I was above 60fps, it still wasn't as responsive as my ROG Swift. Wasn't too bad in Game Mode. But everything I've tried from Firestrike to gaming has been smooth at 4k.
I'm old school. Gave up on the NV Surround/120Hz setup due to the myriad of issues that I encountered. Driver by driver there'd be new shit - finally my monitors stopped being recognized as 120Hz so I had it. Now I game 1080p single monitor. No more multi-monitor headaches. With 3x980s *obviously* G-SYNC is absolutely unnecessary and provides zero benefit (pushing over 200 FPS with a 5960X @ 4GHz). I've had it off (because I was benching with 3DMark 11) and I did not even realize it when I fired up BF4 later that night. Using a BenQ XL2420G by itself until 4K/144Hz/G-SYNC (or Adaptive Sync supported by NVIDIA) is a reality.
So yeah, get that 3rd card and you'll be close at 4K.
I opted for 2x and I'm still contemplating a 3rd even though it is absolutely unnecessary and unneeded for my 1080p ass. Trying to hold off until that magic 4K monitor comes out. Although maybe 4K/144Hz is still not something even 3x TITAN X can reliably pull off.It's just nice now to finally not have to "chase the dragon" for BF MP performance. If anything, the game is looking old and shabby lol. Need BF5! Maybe I'll get bored and get a 1440P/144Hz/G-SYNC display.
Do the TITAN X cards have a green glow in their blower fan like in the reviews? Couldn't tell from your pics.

cannot believe what i am reading
like ...da fuk..sk3tch PLS i am now dying over here
also my cards are not glowing outside of the Geforce logo

Shame It's got the reference cooler.
Exactly. HDTVs have typically have 30-50ms display lag. Monitors are at the 1ms level. Play an online game at 50ms display lag and then on the monitor and watch your score go up.
Whatever your display lag add that to your ping and that's your minimum reaction time (in addition to any input lag).

Damn, y'all are crazy. Top tier stuff though, buy these puppies for science, NeoGAF.

I assume you downsample 4k on that 1080p monitor?So yeah, get that 3rd card and you'll be close at 4K.
I messed a bit w/ OC earlier. Got up to +117 on core. Didn't touch memory. I can definitely go much further than that, but with SLI it can be tougher to get a higher OC because the cards are "linked". Will push harder later today.
I may have some kind of issue though. I can't get my cards to hit the 110% power target, or break 100% that often. The highest they've gotten is the Tomb Raider benchmark when I was running Ultimate + 4x SSAA. Power was at 102% and 95% respectively. So that's a little worrisome for me. Maybe it's an isolated thing on my end I am not sure.
Must have the most FPS with the least latency for MP!!
That's weird - I think it was Guru3D who said the logo is white and there is a green glow...ha...maybe you can tweak with the GeForce Experience.
Nope - DSR is not supported with SLI.
144+ FPS is not an easy task when maxed out. Comfortably happens with 3x980s (and I'm sure 2xTITAN X) but that's the point.
I would guess that MSI Afterburner needs an update to fully support the TITAN X. Although reviewers were getting around 1350MHz and I think that's what they used...so who knows.

^ how are temps? I've read the X is bound by TDP and throttling due to temperature.

Just a heads up if interested, but you don't need DSR to downsample, you can setup custom resolutions. They works fine with my SLI, though the limit you can downsample is bound by the monitors capabilities.
Mine definitely are not glowing. Maybe it was on the CD that came with the cards? But I don't have an optical bay installed. Maybe Andy can clarify later on.
I have tried Afterburner and Precision X 16 (what I am using now). Max slider to 110% and I can't get there.
I have a fairly aggressive fan profile...my max temps have generally been around 75c - 77c.

guide here:
http://www.neogaf.com/forum/showthread.php?t=509076
with your rig, you are going to be able to jack up res quite a bit and still post high fps.
They must be smoking crack.
http://www.guru3d.com/articles-pages/nvidia-geforce-gtx-titan-x-review,1.html
NVIDIA GeForce Experience > My Rig > LED Visualizer - that's how you change the blinky lights on your card and NVIDIA SLI bridge (in case you weren't aware). So that's where the fan thing would be - if it exists.
This isn't strictly true, Sk3tch. It's a little more complicated. This is the current state of DSR compatibility:

Thanks! Very informative.
I stand corrected.

I think the guide could be updated for Maxwell users. The new cards\drivers seem capable of creating much higher custom resolutions.
With the same monitor, here are the highest resolutions possible for me:
GTX 680 -> 5120x2880
GTX 980 -> 7680x4320
A lot of those resolutions have since been switched to 60hz as well. Though beyond 3840x2160, the resolutions become far less practical and are only useful for screenshots (with a single 980 at least).

Are you using custom timings? I've not had luck pushing past 4K with my 970's and Eizo Flexscan SX2761W-BK
I looked there and didn't see it. Checked Guru3d for pics and I don't really see it there either:
maybe it was a pr/show thing *shrug*

So the other vendors (MSI, ASUS, EVGA, etc) cards are going to be the standard reference design? Seems like a missed opportunity considering some of those companies have excellent cooling solutions.

Well I guess you win Nvidia. Ordering from your website then.

I quoted it in my post. 2nd paragraph at the link:
"There is now also a nice green LED in the fan housing and the logo is displayed in white"
