Titan Results Thread (OC/Performance/Benching)

[DooKey]

My EVGA Titan came in today and I ran a couple of early tests with it.

Baseline is RE6 Benchmark on 660Ti SLI at 1225/6600

1080p Score: 16322 all settings to high, NV control panel default, vsync off
1440p Score: 12348 all settings to high, NV control panel default, vsync off

Titan (same settings as 660Ti SLI) Clocks 1124 some downclock to 1071 during runs/RAM first runs 6300

1080p Score: 15996
1440p Score: 11226

Cool, maybe you can give the rest of us some tips on how to setup proper overclocking profiles for various desires, such as: the "sound doesn't matter but fps does" profile, and maybe the "sweet spot" profile.

 

[Tweak155]

Grats dude. What were your initial impressions?

 

[DooKey]

The card is beautiful. Fan is really nice and quiet. I need to play some games with it now to give you a gaming impression, but the benchmark ran fluidly and without artifacts or glitches.

 

[tviceman]

If the fan is quiet then up the speed! Try to get the vram overclocked some more too! Run some better benchmarks than RE6! I'm interested in more end user experiences like yours than straight up reviews so I'll keep checking back.

 

[Annisman*]

I've actually got my Titan sitting right next to me, but I am forcing myself to be patient and finish benchmarking a slew of games with my current setup. Probably won't even install it tonight.

In regards to o/c, one author speculated staying away from o/c the memory. First there are a ton of chips, and it pulls wattage effecting the tdp limit, and it's already pretty fast. More gains from o/c the core, maybe.

The problem is that TITAN is limited by the bandwidth. So overclocking the core brings not every time the same speedup.

Nah, haven't you heard ? The only limit Titan has is the size of the average man's wallet.

If I had one I'd test that theory, imo, in the majority of games, a core o/c will show more gains than memory o/c.

I hear you can overclock the monitor with those Titan drivers. Threads of overclocking the monitor with cards like the GTX 670 are surfacing on 120Hz.net

The core has a pretty wide range, can you explain why it's not (basically) constant? Is it dropping under load over time as it warms up? Are you using the default fan or custom settings? I assume those are overclocked values, is it near the max, can you clarify?

Boost seems to change as the load on the GPU increases/decreases. I'm currently using custom fan profile to keep temp below 82c so I don't get temp related downclocking. Since I adjusted the fan profile the boost isn't moving as much. The first post core range was caused by temp.

I haven't tried to get to max core or RAM yet. I'll do some more later on to see if 1150 is the max on air that I can get.

My gtx670 @ 1240mhz core 7050mhz vram got 47.0 fps, 1965 score with extreme HD. Right at 50% faster than my gtx670 operating with a 26% core and 17.5% vram overclock!

I can't wait to do my SLI benches tomorrow afternoon!

Hey congrats to you and Annisman. Those are some sweet cards

Your other one is coming in tomorrow?

Yep.

Wow. Two grand. Gone. For me that is a lot of ouch.

Notes: Downclock appears to happen at 82c, fan profile is very conservative and never went above 61%.
At 61% fan is very quiet. I'm impressed with the design.

I'm going to play with this some more.

Very good news, thanks for posting this. I really like GPU boost 2.0 much better than the original version; overclocking the gk104 kepler on reference boards was really a pain and/or not possible in some cases due to temperature throttle (and it happened often with stock coolers).

Sounds like this solution allows more breathing room than GPU boost 1.0 did, without necessitating an overpriced aftermarket cooler. 1100 boost out of the box isn't too shabby either, that is honestly higher than I originally expected. Although, I do wish Titan had 2x 8 pin connectors as reference. Anyway - keep us up to speed, seems pretty good so far.

DooKey, simply impressive. I bow in AWE!

That could have been some nice rims for my Z or an extra payment on my mortgage

Yeah I wish I had less of a view of worth on money. I could technically buy all sorts of toys but even my $300 670 felt like a waste of $$. It's a curse.
