Titans showed up on newegg's Canadian site last night and I took the bait :\ Will have mine on Friday and I am going to see how they do overclocking first thing.

I can't find blocks available for them anywhere though unfortunately. I won't end up installing them until I find waterblocks though. I have to tear down my current system and don't want to put the loop together just for the CPU to tear it down again when I do get Titan blocks.

Welcome to the dark side!

These things are selling at 1k. Geez.

I'm gonna pray for AMD to stay around so I can afford to PC game in the future. Otherwise if it was Nvidia only we might be looking at 2k video cards.


OFT, its sad to say that if these were 2k, they still will probably outsell anything AMD. :(

I actually had a Superclocked Titan in my cart last night. When I went to order it went out of stock. Maybe that was a good thing.

This card will most certainly suck for SLI configs where the cards are placed together.

Reviewers addressed this, but I won't spoil the surprise for you.

ATI High Command bought them for you didn't they?!!! Don't forget to tell us all the flaws and downplay the positives! :p

Lol, wasn't 680 SLI fast enough for ya?! :D

Didn't need to do this Thilan, but I'm sure somebody thanks you.

Sniped a preorder for the ASUS reference titan at around 4 am EST from newegg, I plan on pushing this card to the limit. Now I do have a question, whenever I've had nvidia cards I tend to get EVGA or Zotac so I've only used EVGA Precision, how is ASUS GPU Tweak compared to that (never used it)?

Hate that feeling, I normally don't get buyers remorse, but when I do it isn't until I take my "old" hardware, put it in my 2nd gaming machine, then when I go play on that machine I realize "I really didn't need to upgrade this hardware"

Yeah I've done this before, this is why I've had my 6870s for long enough until 1gb vram started to become an issue. I still have my i7-950 and my 8GB G.Skills Ripjaws 1600 ram, right now it isn't worth ti to upgrade considering they aren't giving me a huge performance hit while gaming like having those video cards.

Hahaha. I wanted to compare my OC 680 SLI to whatever OC Titan SLI would give me, so I benched a whole pile of games tonight before I sell my 680s tomorrow.

I found two games out of ten where they might -might- be an argument for needing some more oomph. One was BF3 to get better minimum frames in heavy action and the other was Crysis 3 to actually be able to use MSAA. LOL, at that point I realized I didn't need to upgrade, just wanted to go through the motions of changing the hardware more than anything else. :D
