Titan Results Thread (OC/Performance/Benching)

[Annisman*]

Yep and I did another run with power target up and ran it through twice and it still stayed below 78C. There isn't much headroom to OC it since the board won't allow more than 265 watts. I couldn't stay at 1100 without it downclocking on its own in a game. It's a shame that the 1.2v isn't actually usable for any length of time.

Shhh don't mention the watt limit, people get crazy.

I thought you bought another 680 last week. You're going through hardware faster than I do.

I did, but 2 DCUIIs on a 3 slot seperation board was a very, very bad idea. Top card was hitting 90-95c. So I returned it and sold the other 680

My card is hitting 1150 no sweat. I'm using afterburner for now with 106% power limit and 150+ mhz. I tried +175 and got artifacting right away so I alt tabbed out and back to 150 for another 15mins and all is well. I have to set my fan to 70% to keep from hitting the downclock temp of 80c. Fan is definately audible but not intrusive once I slip the cans over my ears.

I can't hear three Lightnings at 100% fan with cans on my ears either

What were you running to test, and did the card stay at 1150 the entire time?

 

[Annisman*]

Most of my clocks stay around 1.1 to 1.15 as well

there are occasional 1-2 second dips to 1135

Can one of you titan owners with the most screen real estate test the max memory usage you can get in a game?

I have a ton of fans in my system so I don't hear my Titan's unless they hit 80%.

I'm also finding 1150 to be the sweet spot for OC.

It would be rather hard to max out the frame buffer on this card, but I bet you could do it on skyrim if you were to run a royal ton of mods and use 3 1440p monitors but at that point the card is going to run out of horsepower

Has anyone maxed out the 3gb on a 7970 yet?

X5711 with single Titan in 3DM11 http://www.3dmark.com/3dm11/6070219

Good for 4th all time with a single (Titan) card

1 of 1, grats

1 of 1, grats

huh ? What part of the benchmark are you talking about ?

 

[Annisman*]

4th here, if you ignore the 670 and 680, which were probably Ln2 cooled. You have to hit sort and go to 1X gpu, the website is setup kind of silly.

This part:

1 of 1

 

[Annisman*]

Ah, must have missed that part, still, 4th overall, don't know where the 1 out of 1 comes from.

 

[CurrentlyPissed]

Yeah these cards are TDP held back so bad. Really hoping the rumor AIB cards are true and we can simply flash a bios and have some fun. Mine myself does +100c +675 mem. During valley will go from 1087c-1150. You can tell the core clock gets adjusted to keep within TDP with such high memory clocks.

The second I lower memory clock down to +400 it stays closer to 1150-1167. And the more intense of the screen, the lower the clocks.

 

[Annisman*]

Lower that memory then, no need to really touch it anyways.

 

[CurrentlyPissed]

These cards benefit more from memory OC. You can't go very high on the core-clock with the current voltage limitations. I could at most only get to 1175. My average is around 1124 with the memory at +675. I gain a metric shit ton more with a high memory than what 50 on the core will give.

I mean which would you take?

1175c/6000m
--or--
1124c/7350m

 

[Annisman*]

I'm not denying your clock speeds will be higher by focusing on the memory, but your fps may not be. There is so much bandwidth on these cards the core is the one to go after.

FPS and scores both rose much more with the 2nd I posted in Valley/ff14 bench/3dmark

 

[hjalti8]

the titan has the same ratio of cudacores,texture units,rops and mem-bandwidth as the 660ti which is known for being bandwidth starved in most games.
So at the same clocks the titan should also be bandwidth starved.
Pushing the core past 1000mhz will not help much in most games as long as the memory clock stays the same.

 

[Annisman*]

Hmmm kept hearing it was the other way around.

 

[BallaTheFeared]

For similar systems, it's like pulling teeth...

I took the time to make sure my two Titans are not DOA today by installing them 1 at a time in my wife's computer.

If you want to see how Titan does when seriously platform bottlenecked in 3DMark11, here it is :awe: C2D E6400 @ 3.2Ghz, P35 platform, PCIE 1.1 x16

First link is a 7950 @ 1.1Ghz, then Titan #1 and then Titan #2. For the Titans I just extended the power target to 106 and used a 100Mhz offset on the core. Don't pay much attention to the overall scores, but look at the graphics scores under detailed. Either way, this system chokes a Titan.

It's too bad I couldn't run advanced, but I don't have advanced version installed on this machine. There was some serious bottlenecking going on, particularly in graphics test #1, which scored about the same on the 7950 as it did on the Titans.

I would not recommend using a Titan in this kind of system
